Whether you are one of the 45% of Americans living with a chronic disease or you simply want to take the first step to truly elevate your health, this summit summons you!
Arm yourself with scientifically-backed facts and the tools you need to kick cancer as far from you as possible, while also radically reducing the risk of other chronic illnesses, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, obesity, depression, arthritis, asthma, autoimmune disease and more. Learn to intelligently navigate the conflicts and contradictions that compete for your attention everywhere you look. Let Dr. Funk share her 25 years of medical wisdom as she provides a clear and actionable roadmap for healthy living and wellbeing.
Evidence-based and backed by rigorous research, Dr. Funk’s approachable and often hilarious speaking style distills scientific wisdom into simple, actionable, take-it-home and start-right-now power.

Dr. Kristi Funk is a board-certified breast cancer surgeon, bestselling author and international presenter. With over 25 years of medical experience, she is an expert in minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment methods for all types of breast disease and has helped thousands of women through breast treatment, including well-known celebrities, like Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow, who have turned to her for her surgical expertise.
Dr. Funk authored the bestseller, Breasts: The Owner’s Manual, and after a deep dive into nutritional science literature (that originally lasted a year and has yet to stop), she uncovered an abundance of evidence-based research that dramatically shifted her perspective from a predominantly surgical focus while treating disease, to one that individualizes care and empowers millions of women all over the world to dramatically reduce their risk of cancer and many of life’s major killers. Dr. Funk has merged her medical knowledge and background in psychology with her own life experiences and those of her 20,000+ patients to create the life-empowering Cancer-Kicking! program that teaches women (and men) how to maximally reduce the chances of facing a killer disease.
After graduating in Psychology with distinction from Stanford University in 1991, Dr. Funk received her medical degree from the UC Davis, School of Medicine. She completed her surgical residency in Seattle, WA, followed by a surgical breast fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she then excelled as a surgeon and Director of their Breast Center until 2009. That year, Dr. Funk, alongside her entrepreneurial husband, opened the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills, which became the first center of its kind in the United States, fusing state-of-the art screening, genetic testing, diagnosis and treatment with preventive strategies and holistic, compassionate care – all under one roof.
A sought after speaker and TV personality, Dr. Funk is the go-to breast expert for Good Morning America and The Doctors, and has appeared on Today, The Dr. Oz Show, CNN, Rachael Ray, The View, and more, as well as countless radio and podcast interviews. Dr. Funk has received dozens of honors and awards and uses her appearances to educate and give back to the community. She resides in Pacific Palisades, CA, with her husband and triplet sons.

Improving your health and wellness feels more natural when you are already surrounded by pure beauty. This is why we chose to host the Cancer-Kicking! Summit at the luxurious, relaxing and incredibly scenic 5-star Terranea Resort (terra-NAY-a). Located just along the Pacific Ocean on the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California, this hidden gem on the Los Angeles coast is a 102-acre luxury resort destination surrounded by tranquil waves and offers a whole new world of relaxation and adventure that words just can’t describe.
We chose to hold the in-person Cancer-Kicking! Summit at the incredibly scenic oceanfront Terranea Resort. While we encourage all event participants to stay on site in order to get the most out of the event, attendees are not required to stay at Terranea Resort.
Saturday night only or Fri/Sat night room rates are available for purchase and included in our available ticket options below. If you opt to stay at Terranea, you can choose between a King bed or two Queen beds during checkout. If you plan on bringing family to the event, we can offer you the same discounted rate via special order so that you can purchase additional guest rooms at the resort. Please reach out to us with special requests.
By Car
Terranea Resort is located in beautiful Southern California on the Palos Verdes peninsula. You will feel like the city is lightyears away, yet Los Angeles and Orange County are just a short drive away. The 405, Long Beach and Harbor freeways all get you within a 20-30 minute drive of the resort.
By Plane
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the Long Beach Airport (LBG) provide the shortest distance to Terranea Resort. John Wayne Airport in Orange County and Burbank Airport in the San Fernando Valley provide alternatives but require a longer drive to the resort.
Community is a powerful tool that supports and elevates your health. We purposefully built making friends and meeting like-minded individuals into our Summit as a “key ingredient” for success. We like your spice, and can’t wait to shake you up!
Experience the energy and inspiration that naturally flow from understanding what your best life requires physically, nutritionally, spiritually and emotionally. “Regular life” will never be the same!
