Peach Cobbler is not a Fruit
In Peach Cobbler Is Not a Fruit, Andrea opens the exam room door on nearly three decades of practicing endocrinology, where blood sugars misbehave, thyroids take the blame for everything, hormones are accused of crimes they did not commit, and patients arrive armed with internet diagnoses, food confessions, and absolute certainty that dessert can be medically reclassified. With sharp wit, hard-earned wisdom, and the candor of a doctor who tried very hard to be compassionate, thoughtful, and science-based—often while silently questioning humanity. Andrea delivers a collection of medical stories about diabetes disasters, thyroid dramas, obesity struggles, insurance lunacy, staff chaos, and the daily absurdity of explaining science to people who would rather negotiate with their pancreas. Equal parts funny, revealing, and deeply human, this book celebrates the ridiculousness of bodies, the audacity of patients, and the survival skill every doctor eventually needs: a sense of humor.

Andrea Hayes M.D. Memoir
In her memoir, Andrea pulls back the curtain on a life lived on both sides of the exam table—as a physician, a patient, a daughter, a survivor, and a woman repeatedly forced to renegotiate her relationship with her own body. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at fifteen, she went on to build a career in endocrinology, caring for thousands of patients while privately navigating chronic illness, medical crises, professional betrayal, family loss, and the brutal absurdities of modern healthcare. With dark humor, candor, and hard-earned grace, Hayes explores the blessings and betrayals of a life in medicine: the patients who changed her, the body that challenged her, the system that tested her, and the resilience required to keep standing when the floodwaters rise.
