When Radical Remission survivors talk to me about trying to feel more love, joy, and happiness in order to help their bodies heal, they talk about it as they would talk about flossing their teeth or working out: they see happiness as a habit you have to practice daily in order to reap the desired benefits.

For many people, the end of hope comes when they are told there's nothing more that modern medicine can do. But as a young doctoral student researching such situations, Dr. Kelly Turner dared to ask, "What if there's more to healing than we understand?" Now a pioneering researcher and bestselling author renowned for her work in integrative oncology, Dr. Turner focuses on cases of radical remission -- instances where patients living with cancer or difficult-to-treat conditions experience unexpected recoveries, often when conventional medical treatments have failed. She continues to push the boundaries of the medical status quo, asking not just how people survive, but how they thrive. Her work reveals an interplay of love, surrender, and inner strength that invites all of us to rethink what's possible. Her contributions and research aren't just about cancer, but about the universal human yearning to find meaning, connection, and agency in the face of life's greatest challenges.


Dr. Turner's work has been featured on platforms like The Dr. Oz Show, reflecting her commitment to bridging the gap between conventional medicine and holistic approaches to healing. Her dedication to embody connection and the power of lifestyle changes continues to inspire both the medical community and individuals seeking alternative paths to health.


She is the New York Times bestselling author of Radical Remission, Radical Hope, and the docu-series filmmaker, Radical Remission -- which features Dr. Li in Episode 9!
