Sandra A. McLanahan, M.D.
 Dr. McLanahan had to cancel her speaking engagement due to illness. Dr. Joseph Sandford will be speaking in her place.
Dr. Sandra McLanahan is a pioneer in holistic medicine—as the American Medical Association News reported, “East is East and West is West,. . . but Kipling never got the chance to meet Sandra McLanahan.” Dr. McLanahan is a specialist in Family Practice, an international lecturer, health educator and researcher.
For more than twenty years, she served as the Director of Stress Management Training for the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in San Francisco, with best-selling author Dr. Dean Ornish, M.D. Here, she taught stress management and conducted research that showed that Eastern methods of relaxation, visualization, and meditative techniques were able to prevent and treat heart disease.
In 1973, Dr. McLanahan founded the Integral Health Center, one of the nation’s first comprehensive health care services dedicated to researching and applying the best traditions of Western and Eastern medicine, and currently serves as its Executive Medical Director. She has spent extensive time in India and Asia, assessing the benefits of ancient therapies when applied in a modern medical setting. She is especially qualified to bridge modern technology to significant spiritual truths.
For over three decades she has been presenting her research in many venues and through the media, bringing forth the subtleties of universal principles with wisdom, honesty, and humor. Well known for her speaking ability, she is in demand at conferences, medical schools, and corporations, where she describes the benefits of specific lifestyle changes in the prevention and treatment of disease.
Her many speaking engagements have included programs at Harvard Medical School; Yale University School of Medicine; Baylor College of Medicine; University of Virginia; University of California Medical Center; Duke University School of Medicine; the International Conference of Holistic Health, Bangalore, India; the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and the Annual Cardiovascular Conference, Tucson Heart Hospital (co-presenter with Deepak Chopra).
Dr. McLanahan has also been featured in numerous magazines, appeared on television and many local news programs, and has published feature research articles in a number of medical journals, including the Journal of the A.M.A. She is the author of the book Surgery and its Alternatives: How to Make the Right Choices for Your Health, and the medical consultant for the book Dr. Yoga.
