#245 What to Do When You Test POSITIVE for HPV?
How Humans Heal
Today I want to talk about where to begin when you get a positive HPV test. A significant change has occurred in how we detect HPV - decades ago, we only discovered HPV once abnormal cells were identified. Now, women are tested for high-risk HPV during routine pap smears, leading to more frequent diagnoses. I believe women are more susceptible to high-risk HPV than ever before. The HPV virus doesn't discriminate by age; I help women from age 20 to 75 and beyond because HPV can affect women at any stage of life. Importantly, even after a hysterectomy, you're not immune - the virus can impact...

#243 7 Reasons to Avoid Gluten to Help Clear HPV
How Humans Heal
Today we're going to be talking about the seven reasons I recommend avoiding gluten to help clear the high-risk HPV virus from your body once and for all. I've been an expert in gluten and have specialized in helping patients with it for over 20 years. I was forced to learn about gluten when I was getting severe migraines, and when my daughter developed severe eczema as an infant. I had to understand the role gluten was playing to help heal both myself and my daughter. This led me to research gluten endlessly, reading all available research articles from and speaking at professional...

#241 HPV Recovery: The Role of Stress and Emotional Healing!
How Humans Heal
Today, I'm going to be talking about how healing, specifically from high-risk HPV virus, isn't just physical. Your mental and emotional health matters just as much when it comes to fending off HPV and preventing health issues overall. This is such an important topic to me because we're typically taught that our mind and body are separate. We often go to different practitioners for our mental health than for our physical health. However, what research shows us is that there's a profound mind-body connection—there's actually no separation between our mind and body. Our mental and emotional...

#239 How Understanding the Gut Vagina Connection can help you Clear HPV!
How Humans Heal
In this episode I’m going to talk about how diet and gut health play a key role in helping to clear high-risk HPV virus. As a women's health expert and HPV specialist, I've helped thousands of women around the world address abnormal pap smears and get HPV to negative, once and for all. I’ve seen first-hand that helping women to optimize their gut microbiome and to heal leaky gut is a sure path to helping them clear HPV and prevent cervical cancer.

How Humans Heal
Hi, I'm Dr. Doni, and today I want to help you understand the HPV virus, or human papillomavirus, the different types, and how some types are associated with cancer risk, including cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women in the United States, with over 13,000 cases diagnosed every year and over 600,000 cases diagnosed worldwide annually. This is a very important type of cancer for us to understand and prevent. It's my mission to share this information with all of you so we can work toward preventing cervical cancer. Through understanding and proactive...
info_outlineTrying to conceive (TTC) a pregnancy can be confusing and overwhelming. Dr. Aumatma @Holistic_Fertility_Expert, my friend and colleague, and I talk about all things involved, including mindset and relationship with one’s self and body.
Naturopathic medicine has so much to offer women and families that is not offered in standard fertility care.
With naturopathic medicine, we have the ability to empower women by identifying why they may be struggling to conceive, looking at lab results and see what is happening and helping them understand how to embrace their body and support it to achieve pregnancy.
It is not uncommon for reproductive endocrinologists to say scary things to women, especially over age 40, about the likelihood of pregnancy. Dr. Aumatma asks: “How can we – doctors – have such little belief in the body’s ability to do what it is designed to do?”
“Instead of judgement about the past, let’s look at the reality of what is happening with your body at this point and figure out a plan to get you there. I’m a stand for women and couples to have babies when they are ready. It’s okay to have children later in life if that is what we are choosing. We can be empowered around it.”
In this episode we talk about:
-How NDs hold a different space for women and couples
-How to preserve fertility by being your healthiest self
-How fertility is about releasing the struggle with perfectionism
-How TTC is a stressor and how releasing control improves fertility
-How to get into a new rhythm by seeing the power of your body to heal
-
It’s like going on a journey. The better women feel about themselves and in their bodies, the more trust they are gaining in knowing their body knows how to do this, so they can move out of the way and let it do that.
I think of it as creating an environment of safety for your body, mind and spirit so the ovaries get the signal to do their thing.
Dr. Aumatma explains: The ovary is the overachiever! It wants to produce and will go above and beyond, but what is needed is to not overachieve. We need to help women get to the place of believing they are perfect the way they are, then things magically transform.
Age and AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) levels are two of the biggest myths of fertility. AMH came about as an observation that when the number dropped below 1.06, women had poorer IVF outcomes. It doesn’t mean anything about whether or not you will have a child. There are many other ways to support fertility that can work even with a low AMH.
Dr. Aumatma encourages women to let go of the pressure on themselves and find the path that works best for you. It’s okay to say – we don’t want that, or we do! It is your choice.
There is a big gap in how women are being supported with TTC. Dr. Aumatma and I believe everyone should have access to the tests that can help and the support that is needed as soon as you are ready to start preparing for pregnancy.
Connect with Dr. Aumatma at @Holistic_Fertility_Expert, www.HolisticFertilityInstitute.com and in her book: Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You About Baby Making.
If you are TTC and prevent a miscarriage, I’m also happy to help you. Reach out to my assistant at [email protected]. To not feel alone and to feel supported is essential, I believe. That’s what has made such a difference for the women I’ve helped to have successful pregnancies.
