In this episode of Stories of Hope, Stories of Healing, Dr. Leland Stillman sits down with Mary Rankin—entrepreneur, survivor, and creator of the antioxidant-rich wellness product Skin Sips. Mary shares her extraordinary health journey from being an investor with no background in medicine to facing a life-threatening diagnosis of aplastic anemia. After experiencing severe fatigue, dangerously low blood counts, and conflicting medical advice, Mary turned to one of the world’s leading hematologists at MD Anderson, who helped stabilize her condition. But Mary’s journey didn’t end with conventional treatment—she sought deeper healing.
Through self-education and collaboration with integrative physicians, Mary discovered a potent antioxidant called superoxide dismutase (SOD), derived from a proprietary French melon extract. With a vision to help others dealing with fatigue, immune dysregulation, and skin issues, she developed Skin Sips, a simple nutraceutical drink that has since delivered surprising results—even among patients with chronic fatigue and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Stillman and Mary explore the science behind SOD, the limitations of conventional care, and why addressing cellular oxidative stress is key to recovery and longevity.
This is more than a product story—it’s a testament to self-advocacy, mindset, and the power of integrative approaches. Whether you’re a practitioner, patient, or wellness entrepreneur, Mary’s story will inspire you to question the status quo, take ownership of your health, and rethink what’s possible.
