We all know that life has its ups and downs. It is full of surprises. What do we do if we are struggling or one of our loved ones is? How do we replace the darkness and fear with hope, resilience, healing, and unexpected miracles? That's what we are discussing today with functional medicine expert Dr. Jill Carnahan.

She wrote the book Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith, and her story inspired the film Doctor/Patient.

Join us as Dr. Carnahan shares her transformative journey from facing life-threatening illnesses, including breast cancer at age 25 and later Crohn's disease and mold toxicity, to achieving optimal health. Through her experiences, she became passionate about functional medicine, emphasizing nutrition, lifestyle therapies, and faith in healing.

Her story highlights resilience, innovative treatment approaches, and her unwavering dedication to helping others overcome complex health challenges. Dr. Carnahan is now in the best health of her life and continues to inspire and guide patients toward vibrant health.
