Our new favorite book! Dr. Jill Carnahan shares her personal story of facing breast cancer, living with autoimmunity and mold toxicity, and the need for a different kind of healing.
We are so excited to share this book, Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith written by our colleague and inspiration of a patient, Dr. Jill Carnahan.
If you’ve suffered from any kind of illness, you know the toll it takes on your physical, mental and emotional well-being. It’s frustrating and you often end up feeling alone, afraid and without hope. That’s where Dr. Jill was.
Dr. Jill Carnahan, MD, ABIHM, IFMCP known as Your Functional Medicine Expert® and medical director of Flatiron Functional Medicine in Boulder, CO, suffered from life-threatening illnesses and was determined to find a better way to heal using functional medicine. Her story is about discovery and transformational healing, and she’s sharing it in her new book to encourage your own healing journey.
“I wanted to be the doctor who took on the most challenging cases without fear, who would find solutions where others said there were none, who would give love and hope as a gift to each patient who walked in the door.”
Dr. Jill Carnahan shares her impactful story of healing herself with functional medicine, and demonstrates the power of functional medicine in overcoming some of the most severe health conditions.
This is a great read that tells a patient and doctor’s real story. She is a survivor of breast cancer and Crohn’s disease, and lived with autoimmunity and mold toxicity. Like many of our own Forum Health providers have experienced, Dr. Jill was drawn deeper into functional medicine when it came time to heal herself and explore outside the lines of traditional medicine.
We especially love that Dr. Jill gets honest about forging a path using the advances of science and functional medicine to take back control of her health and aims to empower her readers to do the same.
She also offers practical advice for some of the most common concerns she sees affecting people today, including mold and biotoxin illness, cancer, autoimmune disease, Lyme disease and more.
