In This Episode of The Human Upgrade™: Jill Carnahan Shares Her Unique Healing Approach
Surviving breast cancer, Crohn’s disease, and toxic mold, Jill Carnahan, M.D., is no stranger to life-altering illnesses. But rather than giving up, she turned her experience into an opportunity to explore unique healing approaches beyond conventional medicine. On a recent episode of The Human Upgrade™, Jill Carnahan talks about her journey towards healing and shares insights from her recently published book, “Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith.”
Distinguishing Between Visible and Invisible Illnesses
While a diagnosis from a health professional may seem comforting, it is not always the case. Dr. Carnahan revealed that doctors might not necessarily detect underlying health problems. She stated that some physicians are now engaging in what is known as “medical gaslighting,” where they hide the truth behind positive test results. She sounds, “There’s this new term called medical gaslighting where doctors say, “Oh, everything looks great,” right? And you’re not.” She believes that, like her, one can be perfectly healthy on the outside while, on the inside, battling a serious illness like mold toxicity.
Healing Through Science and Faith
Dr. Carnahan uses a holistic approach to medicine, focusing on treating the entire body, not just the symptoms. Her book, “Unexpected,” discusses finding hope in adversity. She shares her experiences of fighting for her health by combining the power of science and faith. In addition, she emphasizes the importance of seeking help, collaboration, and the proper motivation, which she found in confidence to prevail through all tangents of life.
Dealing with Medical Systems That “don’t tolerate thinking outside the box.”
Jill Carnahan discussed how the medical system might hinder doctors from exploring alternative therapies. Patients struggling like Carnahan to find proper diagnoses and treatment for their condition may face difficulties in the medical system. Her book takes her personal experiences in trying to reverse the conventional standard of therapy while also going through autoimmunity and mold toxicity. She tells the story of her journey, which features a tough road denied in some ways by the medical industry, which gave up on her. Relying on faith and resilience helped to elevate her new healing techniques to success.
Biohacking
Dr. Carnahan’s story emphasizes a key takeaway of biohacking – a process that combines biology and technology to enhance the health and performance of an individual through experimentation and self-discovery. Her unique approach to biohacking combines functional medicine, faith, and science, by which Jill Carnahan has emerged as a respected thought leader.
Conclusion
Dr. Jill Carnahan’s life experiences, chronicled in her book “Unexpected,” provides a positive and inspiring journey exploring the power of Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith. Her compelling insights and strategies resonate with millions, encouraging individuals to hold on to adversity. Through this podcast, listeners will glean from her methods and thoughts on successfully tackling life’s toughest hardships.
