The Parkinson’s Solutions Summit

<h6>Kenneth Sharlin, MD</h6>
Hello, this is Dr. Ken Sharlin. You are viewing the Parkinson&#8217;s Solutions Summit. Welcome. I have the privilege of visiting today with one of our country&#8217;s top functional medicine doctors, Dr. Jill Carnahan, who is located in the Boulder, Colorado, area with her brick-and-mortar Flatiron functional medicine. I am going to let Dr. Jill tell you about herself, but I do want to share that she and I met several years ago. She was one of the very first functional medicine doctors that I had the privilege of meeting and chatting with. I feel that, in some respects, our journey has paralleled one another. I recently had the opportunity to read her new book, Unexpected Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine. I highly recommend it and will be talking about this book throughout the interview today and how it is so important to those affected by Parkinson&#8217;s disease. Without further ado, Dr. Jill Carnahan, welcome to the Parkinson&#8217;s Life Summit.

Dr. Jill is Your Functional Medicine Expert® She uses functional medicine to help you find the answers to the cause of your illness and the nutritional and biochemical imbalances that may be making you feel ill. Functional medicine is personalized medicine that deals with root cause of disease instead of just treating symptoms. Dr Jill will search for underlying triggers that are contributing to your illness through cutting edge lab testing and tailor the intervention to your specific needs as an individual. She may use diet, supplements, lifestyle changes or medication to treat your illness but will seek the most gentle way to help your body restore balance along with the least invasive treatment possible. She seeks to promote wellness and create hope, health and healing by working with you!
