She has continued to study nutrition since Family and Community residency training in Tucson, AZ, and has studied ethnobotany at the National Tropical Botanic Garden in Kauai.

Dr. Shanahan is author of two books:Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food and Food Rules: A Doctor's Guide to Healthy Eating, and she has been featured in numerous publications including Better Homes and Gardens, Consumer's Digest, and Alternet.org. Her lectures have revolutionized how fellow medical professionals think about nutrients and health, and in 2010 she was recruited from Hawaii to spearhead a new program using medical nutrition instead of drugs as a primary modality to help patients suffering from a variety of chronic diseases.
