DIAMOND BAR, CA, January 06, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wanping Hu has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Hu has established herself as a distinguished leader in holistic oncology and integrative medicine, drawing on nearly two decades of experience. At her practice, Dr. Hu oversees the care of 80 to 100 patients each week, providing comprehensive support for oncological conditions, monitoring treatment progress, addressing cancer recurrence and guiding patients through the intervals between therapies. Her approach is characterized by a commitment to integrating Western medical practices with evidence-based alternative therapies, including nutrition and botanicals.

Since 2022, Dr. Hu has founded and served as the chief executive officer of Hygieia Group Inc., where she launched FermentPro, an innovative fermentation kitchen appliance designed to standardize and ensure the safe preparation of fermented foods that promote gut and immune health. This achievement reflects her dedication to advancing accessible solutions for patient wellness and underscores her expertise in merging clinical practice with practical health innovations.

Since 2006, Dr. Hu has also been a physician specializing in hematology and oncology at Kaiser Permanente (Southern California Permanente Medical Group Physician Careers) in Ontario, California. Over her tenure, she has provided expert care for individuals facing complex cancer diagnoses, integrating holistic modalities such as dietary interventions and herbal medicines like Lingzhi mushroom into conventional treatment regimens. Both scientific research and personal experience inform her work, notably her investigation into the benefits of Reishi mushroom for cancer patients, a pursuit inspired by a transformative case early in her career.

Dr. Hu's academic background is both extensive and international. She completed a fellowship in medical oncology at the University of Kentucky in 2006, following a residency in internal medicine at the same institution. She earned her Doctor of Medicine from TongJi Medical College at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, and holds a Doctor of Philosophy in microbiology and immunology from Wayne State University School of Medicine. These academic achievements have provided her with a robust foundation in both clinical medicine and biomedical research, enabling her to bridge traditional medical approaches with innovative integrative therapies.

Profound personal experiences shaped her journey into medicine. Dr. Hu's childhood was plagued with frequent setback and illnesses. With her parents working overtime to make ends meet, she was raised over 2000 miles away by her grandmother. At age nine, she survived a life-threatening anaphylactic shock. This event left an indelible impression on her and inspired deep admiration for the medical profession after witnessing her parents' emotional response to her recovery. These formative experiences instilled resilience, empathy and a sense of purpose that continue to guide her work.

As an adult, Dr. Hu became a single mother to three children, two of whom faced serious health challenges, including severe food allergies and autoimmune disease. Motivated by their needs, she immersed herself in nutrition science and in home-based solutions, such as fermented foods, to support their well-being. Balancing the demands of parenthood with a rigorous medical career, she prioritized family care while remaining less involved in public or professional social activities, taking pride in being present for her children's milestones.

Dr. Hu's professional philosophy centers on compassionate patient relationships and holistic healing environments. She encourages open dialogue with those under her care, offering dietary guidance such as food and herbal remedies alongside conventional treatments. Her ability to merge Western medicine with alternative therapies has enabled her to build trust with patients navigating complex cancer journeys.

Looking ahead, Dr. Hu intends to grow FermentPro and expand her educational outreach on preventive health using healthy dietary practices with fermented foods for chronic disease prevention. She also aims to develop consumer products based on fermented ingredients to make nutritious options more widely accessible, extending her impact beyond clinical practice to promote lifelong wellness for broader communities.

Throughout her career, Dr. Hu has demonstrated exceptional expertise in holistic oncology and integrative medicine, earning recognition for her innovative contributions to patient care and to the development of health technologies. Her resilience, empathy and commitment to advancing both science and compassion continue to define her legacy within the medical community.
