We read stories about people who feel chronically ill, people who have seen the doctor with no clear answer as to why they feel the way they do. So, what happens when a doctor can’t get better? When the tables turn and the doctor is now considered the “difficult patient”? Join Dr. Cynthia Li as she describes her journey to healing a mysterious autoimmune disease which called on her to practice everything she new about medicine and functional medicine to heal herself.

Cynthia Li, MD, received her medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She practiced as an internist in settings as diverse as Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital, and St. Anthony Medical Clinic serving the homeless. She has a private practice in integrative and functional medicine, and serves on the faculty of the Healer’s Art program at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. She lives in Berkeley, CA, with her husband and their two daughters.
