Publisher's summary

In Unexpected, Dr. Jill Carnahan shares her story of facing life-altering illness, fighting for her health, and overcoming sickness using both science and faith so that others can learn to live their own transformative stories.

Has there ever been a time in your life when you’ve felt alone or unsure where to turn for answers? It may have come with the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, loss of a job, a death of a loved one, or any trauma that threatened everything you knew to be true. In Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith, Dr. Jill Carnahan introduces a new paradigm for listeners who are going through uncertain times. Dr. Jill’s riveting and compassionate exploration of healing through functional medicine demonstrates how to replace darkness and fear with hope and find profound healing, unconditional love, and unexpected miracles in the process.

Unexpected reveals practical advice that can be used for conditions like mold and biotoxin illness, cancer, autoimmune disease, Lyme disease, and more. Dr. Jill’s raw and honest account of her own challenges facing breast cancer, living with autoimmunity, and mold toxicity, while working in a medical system that has little tolerance for stepping outside the lines, offers a new path of empowerment for taking control of your health and wellbeing. For the skeptic or the faithful, Unexpected is a valuable guide for living an extraordinary life of love and resilience.

Friend Who Has Walked Through the Unexpected

Listening to Dr. Jill is like listening to a friend who has walked through the unexpected trauma of life and she happens to also be extremely intelligent. Wow she’s such a kind woman, anytime I feel alone or have lost my compass in my health journey I will reread this book. Her voice reveals her tender compassionate nature and true calling, yet filled with deep knowledge. Do not be deceived by the number of pages. It is packed with keys to healing the body and the soul. Very digestible functional medicine information. Thank you, Dr. Jill.

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!

I cannot give this book a high enough rating. Dr. Jill's writing is very well done. Her story reads reads like a novel! Her information and advice are of the highest levels. Must praise the manner in which she had laid it out. Overall, the book is unexpectedly captivating as well as an invaluable full spectrum resource. It is most unusual for an author to read their own work excellently, and this book is read excellently and with great passion where that passion enhances her amazing story.

An amazing book about healing, resilience and hope!

This book touched me on so many levels, which was a surprise to me. I thought I was reading a book about mold and instead I learned about self love, healing, resilience and so much more. It touched me deeply in surprising ways.

So Much Wisdom

Dr Carnahan is my kind of doctor. I related to much of what she wrote in Unexpected. Thank God for doctors who think outside the box. I found this book to be of great value. I enjoyed hearing about Dr Carnahan’s life. Her warmth and personality shined through in her reading of her book.

Very educational. A great read.

The mix of personal story, medical facts, and practical advice really works well. I learned a lot about myself by listening to a story about her. In addition to the anecdotal value of the story, each chapter concludes with relevant medical facts supporting the story. Where appropriate, she also includes advice on tests or supplements or behavior modifications that might be pursued by the reader.
