Kris Carr

Kris Carr is a best-selling author, filmmaker, and motivational speaker. She is the subject of the uplifting documentary, "Crazy Sexy Cancer". The film, which she wrote and directed for TLC and the Discovery Channel, chronicles her adventure of living and thriving with stage-four cancer.

Her companion book series, "Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips" with a foreword by singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow, and "Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor" (foreword by Marianne Williamson) have been translated into seven languages. These books have been essential guides for rebuilding the body and spirit to triumph over disease. Carr recounts her courageous story of survival and shares every step of her journey to wellness in a practical, funny, and endearing style — even wearing her cowboy boots to her MRI screenings. She offers invaluable tips for choosing the right doctor, learning to live in a self-nurturing manner, and how to fight cancer with nutrition.

Carr’s third book, "Crazy Sexy Diet" (January 2011, foreword by Dean Ornish), builds on the nutrition and lifestyle advice she learned on her journey and translates it into a game plan for those seeking health and happiness.

Carr’s blog, crazysexylife.com, has been a major online resource for health, spiritual wealth, and happiness, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each month. She has been featured on numerous television programs, including CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, The Early Show, The TODAY Show, Access Hollywood, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

She leads workshops at The Omega Institute, Kripalu, and The New York Open Center, and regularly lectures across the country at locations including medical schools, hospitals, wellness centers, and universities like Harvard.

Formerly an actress, Carr has numerous credits both on and off Broadway, in regional theater, film, television, and commercials. She is on the advisory board of The Urban Zen Foundation, Donna Karan’s philanthropic global well-being program, and is the Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Crazy Sexy Wellness, LLC.

As a proactive advocate in the fight against disease, she motivates individuals and their families to connect their personal health with the health of the planet, offering witty anecdotes, dietary advice, and tips for overcoming adversity, inspiring her audiences to become empowered participants in health and healing.
