In this episode I'm going to talk about five types of mind-body medicine that I recommend you include in your healing plan to help your body protect you from high-risk HPV virus and prevent cancer caused by high-risk HPV strains. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor, clinical nutritionist, and midwife. I've been practicing for over 25 years, specializing in women's health and helping women address abnormal pap smears, including high-risk HPV. I help them heal their cervix, get HPV to negative, and keep it negative—which is unheard of in standard care. In standard care, well-trained...

In this episode I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Toni Engram. She is what's referred to as a biological dentist. She's also an integrative health coach and the owner of Flourished Dental Boutique in Richardson, Texas. For a lot of people, we think a dentist is only a dentist, but that's not really the case anymore. To understand what it means to be a biological dentist, think of it as the functional medicine or naturopathic version of dentistry. While biological dentists still do fillings, crowns, and other standard procedures, how they do these things is very intentional. Biological...

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...

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...

She is a patient advocate, a professional educator for over 30 years, and author of a book to empower parents who are in the process of supporting their child through cancer treatment. It's called "The Cancer Parents Handbook: What Your Oncologist Doesn't Have Time to Tell You." I’m so grateful that Laura is joining me on How Humans Heal to share about her journey that led to writing the book. She didn't write it out of nowhere - she wrote it because she went through it herself. Her daughter had childhood leukemia at...

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,...
info_outlineIn 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.
The gut-vaginal connection isn't well known, and it's definitely not something you're likely to hear about from your doctor's office, even though more research studies are coming out every year documenting what's called the gut-vagina axis.
There's communication both ways - not only does the microbiome in the gut influence the microbiome in the vagina, but also the microbiome in the vagina influences the gut. And, the microbiome in both locations communicates with our immune system, so our whole body gets signals from these microbes. This influences inflammation levels in both the gut and vagina, as well as susceptibility to infections, like high-risk HPV and others.
Most women are told by their doctors either that HPV will go away on its own (but then in some cases it doesn't), or that it's never going to go away. In both scenarios, women are left needing to meet with their gynecologist every six months, essentially waiting for things to get worse.
These are the options women face right now in the United States and other countries around the world. I know because I talk to thousands of women every year who tell me this is what they're experiencing in the standard medical approach to HPV and abnormal pap smears.
Yet, by understanding the gut-vagina connection, we can help women optimize their gut and vaginal microbiome, and drop inflammation. With this information, we can reduce rates of HPV-related cancers like cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and other cancers.
