In this episode of How I Healed My Gut, Dane Johnson sits down with Dr. Jill Carnahan, a leading expert in functional medicine, to discuss the hidden root causes of chronic illness and the mindset shifts needed for healing.

Dr. Jill shares her personal journey of overcoming aggressive breast cancer and Crohn’s disease, despite being told she had “incurable” conditions. She reveals the environmental toxins, gut imbalances, and hidden infections that contributed to her illnesses—and how she reversed them through functional medicine, diet, detox, and mindset shifts.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with autoimmune disease, gut issues, mold toxicity, or chronic illness, as Dr. Jill offers practical steps to take back control of your health.

Key Takeaways:

1. Chronic illness has a root cause – It’s not random; uncovering environmental toxins, gut imbalances, or infections is key.

2. Mold toxicity is a silent trigger – Many people with autoimmunity, gut disorders, and even cancer have undiagnosed mold exposure.

3. Mindset matters – Healing starts with shifting from a victim mentality to an empowered, proactive approach.

4. Your environment impacts your health – Toxins from pesticides, water, and even childhood exposures can set the stage for disease.

5. Allopathic and functional medicine should work together

6. Healing takes time & consistency – Long-term gut and immune repair often require years, not weeks, of dedicated effort.

7. Faith & resilience play a role – Dr. Jill attributes much of her healing to faith, grit, and a belief in her ability to recover.
