The Missing Variable by Jill Fandrich, PharmD
Throughout my 20+ years of practice, I have observed a surprising number of people doing things correctly yet experiencing unexpected results, leading to stress, anxiety, and sometimes even depression. I have uncovered “missing variables” that burden individuals, draining their joy and making them feel disconnected, hopeless, and frustrated, ultimately causing them to struggle under the weight of their circumstances.
I call it The Missing Variable (TMV).
First, I saw it in my clinics. Then, the circle widened, and I began seeing it in the people around me: at social events, community gatherings, and even within schools.
These variables are quite common and experienced by everyone, but they may be revealed differently.
As I became aware of the full power and prevalence of The Missing Variable, I felt compelled to identify its many causes, bring them to light, help people see how they are affected by them, and provide the tools to fix them.
Â
In 2024, I wrote a book called The Missing Variable: Why Things Go Wrong When You Are Doing Everything Right. It was the first book written about missing variables.
In it, I talk about:
- Thirteen relatable case studies that share real-life examples of variables in various situations and their impact on individuals.
- Ten methods to uncover the root cause of variables
- Clear strategies for overcoming TMVs
I hope that The Missing Variable will raise awareness of the concept of TMVs, enabling people to recognize them in their circumstances, develop strategies and a mindset to navigate them and avoid unwittingly allowing them to burden themselves with stress, anxiety, or even depression.
My primary goal is to assist the many individuals who are silently struggling, questioning what is wrong with them. I aim to provide them with answers and tools to improve their unforeseen circumstances.

Dr. Craig
"I believe Dr. Jill's books are some of the best books I have read and studied for personal and professional development. Her trilogy of Elevate Your Mind to Success, Success Is Ele-MENTAL, and Who Connects Your Dots? are a sequential study of decluttering my mind of past negative influences. Moreover, they challenge me to transform my mind to possess positive thinking and critical thinking skills and not to succumb to the medical field, but to follow the Hippocratic Oath I took when I was licensed to always put the health and well-being of my patients first."
