DetailsAs you probably know, I’m a huge proponent of having good, healthy fats in your diet. People have been incorrectly cutting fat to dangerously low levels for far too long.
DetailsThough sparkling mineral waters like Perrier were around, they seemed to be reserved for the bougie, even though they didn’t cost more than a soda.
DetailsNow I know what you’re thinking… why would I stick a light up my nose, Dr. Jill? Strange sounding, for sure, but hear me out.

Her persistence and integrative approach was finally what led to a diagnosis after months of no answers.

She is top notch!
I wanted you to know that as an Integrative Functional Medicine doctor you are 10 out of 10. In fact I tell people that you are the only one in the USA that could effectively treat my condition, and I really believe that 🙂
I believe that people who go to functional medicine docs are typically desperate.

I am recovering and regaining my life. Dr. Jill Carnahan is simply phenomenal.
