Lissa Rankin, MD is an integrative medicine physician, author, speaker, artist, and founder of the online communities 
LissaRankin.com and OwningPink.com. Discouraged by our broken health care system, Dr. Rankin set out to discover why some patients experience cure from seemingly “incurable” illnesses, while others remain sick even when they receive the best medical care.

Her research helped her understand and translate how thoughts and emotions originating in the mind translate into measurable physiological phenomena. She is now leading a health care revolution to help patients heal themselves, while encouraging the health care industry to embrace and facilitate, rather than resist, the possibility of patient-initiated spontaneous remission.Her Book, Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself (Hay House 2013), is now a New York Times Best-Seller. Lissa lives in Marin County, California with her husband and daughter.
