How Humans Heal
In this episode, I discuss cervical dysplasia, which is when there are abnormal cells on the cervix before it turns into cancer, specifically CIN 2 and 3. Many women in this situation face the decision of whether to have a LEEP procedure or to take a natural approach called escharotic treatments. If you're dealing with this decision, I think this video will be very helpful for you. It will also be useful for any women dealing with high-risk HPV and abnormal pap smears, in case you find yourself facing CIN 2 or 3 at some point. For the most comprehensive support, even with the most...

info_outline #203 The 6 Connections Between HPV and Menstrual Health IssuesHow Humans Heal
In this episode, I'm going to be talking about menstrual related health issues and how they're connected to testing positive for high-risk HPV virus strains. This is a really important conversation because a lot of times when it comes to testing positive for the HPV virus, women are left with not enough information and their doctors are not providing that information. The doctors are doing what they're trained to do, which is important, to address abnormal cells. What's happening, unfortunately, is women are left in a state of fear and not knowing what they can do to prevent...

info_outline #201 The 5 Ways HPV and Leaky Gut are RelatedHow Humans Heal
In this episode I talk about the five ways that HPV and leaky gut are connected. It's not a well known connection, but it is essential to address leaky gut in order to clear HPV and protect yourself from high risk strains of HPV. I want to make sure you understand what leaky gut is and exactly the ways that it's making you susceptible to HPV and how we can then address it. It’s important to address gut health to decrease HPV risk and prevent it from returning. I recommend getting an accurate food sensitivity panel to identify leaky gut severity and foods to avoid to help heal it. We...

The conventional medical system often focuses on pharmaceuticals, but more people want other ways to help themselves...
info_outline #199 Healing HPV Before, During and After PregnancyHow Humans Heal
In this episode, I want to talk about HPV virus related to fertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. It is actually quite common for me, as a naturopathic doctor and midwife, to be helping women who are hoping for pregnancy soon, or might already be pregnant, and then test positive for HPV, and in some cases, abnormal cells. This is such an important time of women’s lives because it is right when they are needing their cervix and uterus to be healthy for a pregnancy. So it can be quite shocking to find out that HPV is present and potentially affecting their ability to get pregnant and...

info_outline #197 HPV Treatment Options: Proven Strategy To Get Rid Of HPVHow Humans Heal

There are over 150 different strains of the HPV virus but I’m particularly interested in the high risk strains associated with cancer risk – cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancer for women, as well as oral and penile cancer for men. More and more women are finding out they are testing positive for high risk HPV. My work is to help those women go from fear to empowered that they can follow an effective strategy to get HPV to negative and prevent HPV-related cancer.

info_outlineAfter growing up with chronic skin issues, my friend Dr. Trevor Cates [@thespadr] healed her skin by taking a holistic approach. And she found herself wondering – “Why wasn’t holistic medicine presented from the beginning?”
This inspired her to become a naturopathic doctor and to specialize in helping people to understand that our skin is actually a magic mirror!
That is to say, our skin is an outer reflection of our overall health. And the way to help our skin is not just by what we put on it, but by balancing from within.
Common skin issues include:
-Eczema
-Acne
-Dry skin
-Aging skin prematurely
-
While so many people and practitioners look at skin as something to cover up, or to use a topical (such as a steroid) to suppress, for Dr. Cates, these symptoms indicate that something is out of balance.
In fact, hormone imbalance is one of the most common causes of skin issues. There are many hormones potentially involved. Not just sex hormones, but also cortisol, thyroid, melatonin, and insulin. Our hormones rule our health in a lot of ways, says Dr. Cates.
-
In this episode, we discuss things you can do to start balancing hormones and healing your skin, including:
-Avoid toxins and fragrance in your personal care products
-Choose organic food
-Get plenty of fiber and nutrients
-Sleep and stress management
-
Dr. Cates reminds us that most of what we put on our skin actually disrupts the pH and microbiome on the skin and contain endocrine disrupting chemicals. On average we use 9 personal care products per day, which can expose us to 126 ingredients that are not well regulated in the U.S.
It is up to us to look for clean products and to make choices to support our health and our skin.
-
This led her to write her first book, Clean Skin from Within, and to create TheSpaDr skincare line. I have used her skincare line since it became available several years ago.
Now Dr. Cates is focused on helping women to balance their hormones by getting more in harmony with our bodies based on the seasons.
She covers how to do this in detail in her new book - Natural Beauty Reset – which is now available for preorder. And Dr. Cates’ also created a docuseries - Hormones, Health and Harmony - which you can sign up for here: https://www.sd44trk.com/9STNLS/2BGSTD/
