Mind Over Medicine

Dr Lissa Rankin is an integrative medicine physician, author, speaker, artist and founder of the online health and wellness community OwningPink.com. Fueled by a passion to determine what really makes people healthy and what really predisposes them to illness, she immersed herself in medical literature to study how doctors might better care for patients. Her research led her to discover that patients have self-healing powers beyond our wildest imaginings, and science proves it. She is now leading a 'Pink Medicine Revolution' to help patients heal themselves, while encouraging the health-care industry to embrace and facilitate, rather than resist, such miracles. www.lissarankin.com
