Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy is a pioneering leader in integrative and functional oncology and presented at this year’s Beljanski Cancer Conference. She shared her powerful personal and professional journey into root-cause cancer care. Known for her relentless dedication to redefining how we approach cancer and chronic disease, Dr. Connealy spoke on the importance of asking “why,” questioning the status quo, and integrating the best of both conventional and natural medicine.
Dr. Connealy’s path into functional medicine began with one simple question: Why are we just treating symptoms instead of healing people? That question would transform the course of her medical career. Early on, she realized that modern medicine had become too focused on managing disease, not preventing it. Determined to change that, she immersed herself in the study of root-cause healing—blending nutrition, detoxification, hormone balance, and immune optimization with advanced diagnostics and evidence-based innovation.
Today, Dr. Connealy is the founder and medical director of the Center for New Medicine and the Cancer Center for Healing in Irvine, California—two of the largest integrative medical clinics in North America. Her approach to cancer care is comprehensive and compassionate, combining conventional oncology with functional medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, high-level detox, bioenergetic therapies, and cutting-edge technologies like RGCC testing, hyperthermia, and photodynamic therapy.
She believes in the urgency of moving from a reactive “sick-care” system to a true healthcare model—one that empowers patients, prevents disease, and restores the body’s natural ability to heal. “We can no longer wait for a diagnosis to start living well,” says Dr. Connealy. “We must look upstream, ask the deeper questions, and use every tool available to help people not just survive—but thrive.”
As part of her appearance, Dr. Connealy also previewed the upcoming second edition of her bestselling book, The Cancer Revolution: Fully Revised and Updated, scheduled for release later this year. This new edition builds on her original message with the latest research, technologies, and clinical insights she and her team use daily at the Cancer Center for Healing.
Whether you’re a practitioner, a patient, or someone seeking proactive solutions for long-term wellness, Dr. Connealy’s keynote is one you won’t want to miss. Watch it above.
