For her clients, she performs a comprehensive functional analysis of their health history, nutrition status and lab tests to create an individualized protocol aimed at rebalancing the body's systems and solving for any deficiencies. She then guides clients through shifts in diet, lifestyle and mindset while educating them on options to restore or support hormones and optimize health. When not working with clients you will find her with her husband hiking, exploring/traveling the world, covered in Golden Retriever fur, or catching up with her adult sons.

Janet Hranicky, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of The American Health Institute, Inc. She has been a leading pioneer in the field of PsychoNeuroImmunology and Cancer. As an associate of the late renowned Radiation Oncologist, O.Carl Simonton, M.D. from 1979—2009, she was involved in the longest running Mind/Body Treatment Program for Cancer in the world at the Simonton Cancer Center. She has applied her clinical experience and research from working with thousands of people with cancer and training healthcare professionals internationally over the last 30 years to an integrative model of cancer treatment that incorporates her background in Behavioral Medicine with a number of Integrative and Alternative Therapies based on core principals in Functional Medicine, BioEnergetic Regeneration Medicine, Integrative BioPhysics, and Nutritional Science.
Dr. Hranicky brings an extensive interdisciplinary educational and training background to the development of this new innovative model in Integrative Oncology. She grew up in Dallas, Texas and graduated from Bryan Adams High School and went on to complete two Bachelors Degrees from both the University of Texas and Drake University as well as two Master’s Degrees from Southern Methodist University, a Ph.D. From the Fielding Graduate University, and is currently completing her Medical Degree at the International University of Health Sciences. She serves on the Boards of the Simonton Cancer Center and the Joan Valentine Cancer Foundation. She is also currently on a research team with Burton Goldberg, the Joan Valentine Cancer Foundation and the Global Cures Foundation in Boston to investigate holistic therapies that have often been overlooked in traditional medicine because of the low profit margin that are having positive influence on survival with Stage IV Cancer.
Dr. Hranicky presents some of the highlights of her clinical work and research in PsychoNeuroImmunology in the on-line series she has developed: “The Power of the Mind in Getting Well.”™ She covers some of the basic tenets of her theoretical research in Emotions and Cancer: “The Pleasure-Freeze Theory —The Biological RoadMap for the Logic of Emotions and Stress and Cancer.” There is considerable research that implicates stress as an important factor in the susceptibility and resistance to cancer, as well as to the course of disease itself. There have been a number of suggestions in the literature of just how stress may be a causative factor in cancer. The role of stress is emphasized by noting that both endocrine and immimmune functions are sensitive to its influence and that measurable effects can be noted and characterized in both animal and human studies.
She has developed The Comprehensive Cancer Wellness Program which is held at Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach. This is a ten day residential program in Integrative Medicine which is offered throughout the year on specific dates. Dr. Hranicky’s innovative model incorporates her extensive training with Michael Galitzer, M.D. in BioEnergetic Regeneration Medicine at The American Health Institute for the last 20 years along with her exciting work with Dr. Valerie Hunt, Professor Emeritus, UCLA, for the last 15 years at her BioEnergy Field Foundation. She also has trained with Drs. Brian and Anna Maria Clement in their renowned work in Nutritional Medicine and Integrative Wellness at the Hippocrates Health Institute. She has been a long-standing certified trainer with Kahler Communications International utilizing Dr. Taibi Kahler’s leading edge technology in personalized stress management, Process Communication Model™ since 1986. This acclaimed system was used by NASA for almost 20 years in the selection of astronauts. Dr. Hranicky has applied this technology to the field of health care and cancer treatment because of its’ refined ability to predict distress patterns unique to each individual and provide specific interventions for stress management. Her adaptation eGuide: “The Key to Me in Getting Well”™ provides an interactive approach for incorporating the results of the Kahler Stress Profile. She also has included the OndaMed InternationalBioFeedback Technology in BioPhysics to evaluate and treat underlying dysfunction for optimizing the stability and strength of the BioEnergy Field so as to enhance optimal health and vitality.
Dr. Hranicky’s passionate interest is in the area of BioEnergy Field Medicine and Integrative BioPhysics. The growing field of Quantum Medicine enables us to look at the human body as an electrical/electromagnetic system which is charged and which charges the larger Quantum Field. Emotions carry charge and charge is the agency of change within matter. It has been Dr. Hranicky’s clinical observation that these “emotional” disturbances precede the development of cancer. Changes in consciousness and one’s emotional state shift the BioEnergy Field which can alter the course of disease. She believes that Spontaneous Remission is correlated to the changes in the vibrational frequency of a person’s BioEnergy Field that happen when healthy shifts occur in the strength, coherency, and flow of one’s emotions and energy that impact a desirable movement toward Parasympathetic/Sympathetic balance.
Dr. Hranicky is honored to support the on-going work of her courageous mentor, O. Carl Simonton that is being done at the Simonton Cancer Center. She has seen in her clinical research over the last thirty years of pioneering the field of Stress, Psychological Factors, and Cancer with Dr. Simonton that the significance of healthy emotional change is profound in upregulating the vitality of our natural healing properties that are designed within us to alter the course of cancer towards health and long term survival.
