Ep 15: Becoming your own health authority with Jonathan Carp

In this episode, Jill speaks with Jonathan Carp, a board-certified dermatologist whose work bridges conventional clinical practice with lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and patient-led approaches to healing. He shares his early experience in a family medicine tradition, how personal illness and a transformative patient case shifted his perspective, and how diet, lifestyle, and patient “ownership” of health have become central to his practice. The conversation also explores his use of mental imagery techniques in clinical settings and the broader question of what it means for patients to become their “own authority” in health. Jonathan continues to practice dermatology while also working in lifestyle medicine and education through his platform Miracle Living / Miracle Noodle.
