#254 Why There's NO Magic Pill for HPV or ANY Health Issue!
How Humans Heal
In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the concept of the "magic pill" and I'm going to be especially using it to talk about risk for HPV-related cancer, specifically cervical cancer in women. But I encourage you to listen in regardless of what health issue you're dealing with to better understand the mindset, perspective, and paradigm shift that I see my patients making in order to truly transform their health. The magic pill concept is about a fictional or hypothetical medication that can miraculously heal or cure any kind of health issue from a single pill without any side effects...

#253 The 3 Ways High-Risk HPV Virus Acts Like a Narcissist!
How Humans Heal
In this episode I'm going to be sharing with you 3 reasons why I consider high-risk HPV virus to be a narcissistic virus. I'm referring to high-risk human papillomavirus. 99% of cervical cancer for women is associated with high-risk HPV virus. High-risk HPV is also associated with other types of cancer for both women and men. In fact, it's one of the fastest-increasing types of cancer that exist today. Cervical cancer alone is considered the third most common cancer in women. As a naturopathic doctor and midwife specializing in women's health for over 25 years, this is something I've been...

#251 Meet Dr. Brandy Cummings, The HEALTH HERO Every Mom Needs!
How Humans Heal
Today I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Brandy Cummings, who holds a doctorate in Clinical Nutrition. She's the host of the Resilient Motherhood Summit, which I'm particularly enthusiastic about because she's created this wonderful opportunity to support women who've been dealing with chronic health issues during and after pregnancy. Pregnancy and motherhood is a beautiful and amazing time of women’s life, and it can be extremely stressful and depleting for women. Nutrients can become deficient, and hormones can become imbalanced. This leaves women at risk of many different health issues,...

#250 The 5 Surprising Ways That Menopause Increases Risk of HPV
How Humans Heal
In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the five reasons that high-risk HPV virus and abnormal pap smears are more common during peri and post-menopause. Many women think that dealing with HPV and abnormal pap smears is primarily a concern for women in their 20s and 30s. While yes, it is a concern for younger women, it's also a significant issue for women over age 35. Age 35 marks the beginning of perimenopause, which means around the time of menopause. Menopause is defined by one year since your last period, with the average age being 51. This means that post-menopause comprises most...

#248 Is Being HIGHLY SENSITIVE Linked to High-Risk HPV and Abnormal PAP Smears?
How Humans Heal
Have you wondered if being a highly sensitive person might increase your risk of high-risk HPV and abnormal pap smears? I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor and women's health expert. I help women who test positive for high-risk HPV virus, including women who have abnormal cells on the cervix or in the vagina, to eliminate high-risk HPV so they don't have to continue getting ongoing procedures and potentially develop cancer. Most women find out they're testing positive for high-risk HPV after having a gynecology exam and pap smear. More practitioners are now testing for high-risk HPV at...

#247 What Makes MY Approach to Healthcare – Specifically Women’s Health - So Different?
How Humans Heal
In this episode I'm going to be talking about my approach to healthcare in general, and specifically women's health and abnormal pap smears. I want you to understand how what I do and the way I approach healthcare is different than what you may have experienced in other practitioners' offices or medical offices. This is a different way of looking at things, a different way of looking at the human body, and a different way of looking at how healing can happen. If you choose to become a patient of mine or work in one of my programs, you'll know this is the way Dr. Doni guides you to heal! LINKS...

There are many misconceptions about stress and what to do about. So much so that I am even hesitant to say the word. Sometimes simply the word stress causes us to stress more!
So how can we NOT stress about stress? How can we be healthy and thrive even when exposed to stress?
This is the question I have asked myself… throughout my whole life. And I want to share with you what I have discovered.
-Stress is part of being human
-You’re going to have a response to stress – that is a given
-We need to find a way to have compassion for ourselves as stressed humans
-And figure out how to support ourselves under stress
-
How do we give ourselves enough support to recover from stress?
I believe what we are lacking is anti-stress. We have a deficiency of anti-stress.
That is when symptoms happen. Anxiety, depression, sleep issues, cancer, fertility issues, digestive troubles, infections, etc.
It is not just about age. We can’t blame all our health issues on age and throw in the towel, so to speak.
I’ve definitely had times of more stress than anti-stress.
I had migraines for over 20 years. My migraines taught me – if I don’t have enough stress recovery, I’m going to get a migraine.
I didn’t want to be reliant on a medication.
I wanted to look deeper and figure out how not to have a migraine.
The same can be true for what you are experiencing in your health.
The irony is that the solution is not to overdo anti-stress either.
We are so willing to push harder, do more, and put in more of an effort… but too much of anything can result in more of a stress response.
So we have to outsmart stress and really we need to outsmart our own stress response.
It is in the gentle-ness that we get the most stress recovery.
In the process of recovering from stress myself, I identified a 3-phase.
If we skip one of the steps, stress recovery backfires.
We need all 3 phases to become resilient to stress. But it is not exactly the same process for all of us.
As humans, we all have a stress response that involves cortisol and adrenaline, but in actuality it is different for each of us.
Since our response is individualized, our treatment needs to be individualized as well.
To be most effective about your stress recovery, you need to first know how your body responds to stress so that you can then give yourself the correct treatment to recover.
For example, your cortisol could be too high, or too low, at different times of day.
And your adrenaline could be too high or too low.
I caution you not to assume that we all have the same response to stress.
And not just your immediate response to stress, but how stress affects you over time.
When you are in stress mode, and experiencing symptoms, we need to know your cortisol and adrenaline levels.
This is what I refer to as your Stress Type.
Don’t just guess. It’s important to treat based on your stress type in order to effectively recover from stress because the treatment is different for each Stress Type.
Even once you know your Stress Type, it is important to understand the concept of hormesis in order to optimize your recovery.
Hormesis is a concept that tells us that your body will respond to change. A small change can create a beneficial effect. Too big of a change ends up triggering a stress response.
This is why in our stress recovery we need to harness small changes that result in a beneficial effect in your body.
At the same time, we need to not overdo it, or else we will find ourselves right back where we started.
By implementing small incremental changes based on your Stress Type, you are increasing your chances of recovering from stresses of all types more quickly and efficiently.
I want you to be successful becoming resilient to stress and improving your energy, sleep, focus, mood and how you feel in your body.
I know it is possible to recover from trauma, loss, overwhelm and the stress we are exposed to as humans. And to be able to feel good doing what we feel passionate about.
It is possible to thrive even when stressed. I want that for you. If this resonates for you, be sure to order my new book – Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health – and follow along with me this month and next as I guide you to use the information in the book. You can order the book at your favorite book seller and then come to DoctorDoni.com/msrh to tell me you ordered the book. This way I can send you gifts and support and include you in the special LIVE stress reset starting May 2nd.
I can’t wait to support you in the process of becoming resilient to stress!
