This week I welcomed Jill Carnahan, MD on my show to discuss the importance of intuition, self-love, and self-compassion in healing, alongside finding the right support network and community. She shares her journey from growing up on a farm with a holistic mindset to facing life-threatening diseases and how those experiences shaped her approach to patient care. Together, we discuss how we’ve both been deeply impacted by medical issues, and how our experiences have deeply underscored our passion for helping others when conventional medicine fails them. Dr. Carnahan also explores the rise in breast cancer among women under 40, the impact of environmental toxins, and shares practical and thoughtful strategies for recovering from mold illness.  Dr. Jill Carnahan is Your Functional Medicine Expert®. She is dually board certified and is the founder and Medical Director of Flatiron Functional Medicine. As a survivor of breast cancer, Crohn’s disease, and toxic mold illness, she brings a unique perspective to treating patients. She specializes in searching for the underlying causes of illness through cutting-edge lab testing and personalized medicine protocols. Dr. Carnahan's story is also detailed in her bestselling book, Unexpected: Finding Resilience Through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith, meant to inspire and impart valuable health insights. Tune in to hear Dr. Carnahan’s compassionate spirit shine through as she encourages us all to trust our intuitions and love ourselves as the true core of healing.  00:00 Empowering Women's Intuition and Self-Love in Healing 01:03 Meet Dr. Jill Carnahan: A Journey from Patient to Functional Medicine Expert 02:17 The Holistic Roots of a Medical Journey: From Breast Cancer to Functional Medicine 04:26 Navigating Breast Cancer with Holistic and Conventional Approaches 10:17 The Aftermath of Cancer Treatment: Facing Crohn's Disease 13:20 The Power of Intuition and Advocacy in Medical Journeys 17:39 Exploring the Rise in Breast Cancer and Environmental Factors 20:56 Post-COVID Challenges and Functional Medicine Solutions 24:53 Exploring Natural and Antiviral Treatments 25:22 The Highs and Lows of Living in Santa Fe 25:33 Navigating the Challenges of Mold Illness 27:40 The Emotional and Physical Journey of Mold Exposure 30:19 Strategies for Dealing with Mold in Your Environment 35:39 The Impact of Mold on Relationships and Mental Health 38:36 Comprehensive Approach to Recovering from Mold Illness 43:39 The Power of Intuition and Self-Care in Healing 46:46 Practical Steps to Take Back Your Health Connect with Amy Myers, MD Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AmyMyersMD/featured Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmyMyersMD Connect with Jill Carnahan, MD Website: https://www.jillcarnahan.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FlatironFunctionalMedicine/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjillcarnahan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillcarnahan/
