Doctor Christine Horner

Dr. Christine Horner, MD is a nationally known surgeon, recognized as an expert in breast health and an activist for women’s health. Dr. Horner successfully ran a national campaign to pass laws requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Her five year crusade -- the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project or BRA Project -- led to the passage of laws in thirty-five states and a federal law. The federal bill was signed into law by President Clinton on October 21, 1998. The law was unprecedented because it was the first law Congress had ever passed requiring insurance companies to pay for a specific surgical procedure. Dr. Christine Horner received a tremendous amount of national media coverage for the campaign and was featured in Glamour, Ms. Magazine, Elle, Allure, and Women’s Health Weekly, USA Today, NBC Nightly News. She has also been recognized as Glamour magazine’s “WOW - Woman of the Month” and as part of Oprah’s “Angle Network”. Dr. Horner has also been extremely active both fund raising and advocacy.

In the early 1990s, Dr. Christine Horner became alarmed over the increasing number of very young women she saw in her practice with breast health issues. When her own mother was diagnosed and then died from breast related issues, Dr. Horner began an intensive search of the medical literature to find what -- if anything -- could improve breast health. What she found was a tremendous amount of little-known research proving that woman can significantly reduce their risk of breast health issues and of most other health issues through natural means: eating the right foods, avoiding certain foods, exercising, and using techniques of complementary and alternative Medicine. From that moment Dr. Horner incorporated all of these techniques into her own life and then became passionate about teaching others how to stay healthy naturally.

In June 2002, Dr. Christine Horner sold her plastic surgery practice so that she could dedicate herself full time to writing and teaching about her passion: prevention-oriented medicine and how to become and stay healthy naturally.
