Dr. Wanping Hu is a distinguished oncologist with two decades of clinical experience, a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology, and a devoted single mother of three. She bridges Western medical science with Eastern holistic wisdom, uniting evidence-based care with compassion, intuition, and humanity.
Her journey began with fragile health and humble beginnings. As a child who barely survived repeated illnesses, she developed profound empathy and resilience—qualities that continue to define her healing philosophy and patient care.
Through years of oncology practice, Dr. Hu recognized the limits of conventional medicine: powerful in treating disease, yet incomplete in restoring true wellness. This awakening led her to explore nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine, and integrative healing, blending science and soul to help patients not only survive — but thrive.
For many years, Dr. Hu stood as the only female oncologist in the largest oncology group in San Bernardino County, California—the largest county in the United States. Her pioneering role and quiet strength shaped her enduring belief that true healing must be both scientific and spiritual, grounded in evidence yet guided by empathy.
Her commitment to gut health emerged from both clinical insight and personal experience. When two of her daughters faced chronic health challenges, she turned to food as medicine—cooking daily at home and, in the clinic, teaching her patients how nutrition could lessen chemotherapy toxicity, reduce inflammation, and restore immune balance.
That journey led her to the ancient art of fermentation—a practice that not only healed her daughters but transformed her own health. Through regular use of fermented foods, particularly kombucha, Dr. Hu experienced the reversal of premature menopause, delaying its onset by eight years. “To postpone menopause for eight years—no medicine can do that,” she reflected. “It was too powerful to keep to myself.”
From that revelation, Dr. Hu came to see fermentation as far more than probiotics. The process amplifies both nutritional value and nutrient absorption—an elegant form of natural alchemy that turns food into a true healing ritual. She rediscovered a vital truth: you are not only what you eat — you are what you can absorb.
Drawing upon her background in microbiology, Dr. Hu invented FermentPro—a groundbreaking kitchen appliance that brings laboratory-grade temperature precision to everyday homes, making fermentation effortless and free of guesswork. Through FermentPro, she empowers families to reclaim their health from the inside out through time-tested, science-backed fermented foods—nurturing the gut, the body’s true foundation of wellness—and celebrating the harmony between humans and the invisible microorganisms that help us thrive.
