Here's the message I'll never stop sharing: if you're testing positive for high-risk HPV virus and experiencing vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections, or maybe bladder infections, you need to pay attention. If you're waking up feeling tired and dragging through the rest of the day, reaching for caffeine every chance you get, your body is trying to tell you something. If you're having anxious thoughts racing through your mind, constantly thinking about this virus and what it could do and how it could ruin your life, you're not alone.

#286 The 5 Tests You Need to Do To Feel Better Without Being Told All is Normal

How Humans Heal

Too often when women are dealing with health issues—whether menstrual-related problems, perimenopause, menopause, vaginal infections, recurrent yeast, BV, high-risk HPV, or abnormal pap smears—we're left without enough information. Women are experiencing fatigue, weight they can't seem to lose, autoimmunity, gut health issues, skin rashes, anxiety, depression, and migraines. I've been there. I've experienced these symptoms too. I know how difficult it is to get answers and to get real help. The standard medical approach, particularly for women's health issues, relies on very few test...

#282 Rewiring Your Nervous System: Your Body's Hidden Map to Healing Trauma with Dr. Aimie Apigian

How Humans Heal

In this episode of How Humans Heal, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Aimie Apigian, the author of "The Biology of Trauma". This is such an important topic for everyone, and it's of great interest to me because I’ve been researching how trauma affects us as humans and how we can recover it for over 25 years. Sometimes in our attempt to heal, we end up just re-traumatizing ourselves. We find that there's been a reason why our body and our mind have wanted to keep everything stuffed down and to keep everything packed tightly away. There's a fear in the healing process of not even knowing...

They've endured numerous procedures at the...

More Episodes

Hi and welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and today I'm excited to introducing you to Anu Simh. She is a Board-Certified Functional Health Coach and the author of the new book called "Flourish from Within: Feed Your Gut for Lifelong Health." We're going to be talking about, you might have guessed, the gut microbiome and all the amazing ways that optimizing your gut microbiome can optimize your health.

The microbiome is such an important topic, especially over the past 10 years. More and more people are learning about the microbiome and getting a better understanding of how it impacts our health. We hear a lot about probiotics and sometimes we hear about prebiotics, but there's still a lot of confusion about it. That's why I'm really glad we can set the record straight today.

The journey to optimal gut health is personal and unique to each individual, but the fundamental principles remain the same: feed your beneficial bacteria with diverse, whole foods, support them with healthy lifestyle choices, and be patient with the process. Your microbiome has been your partner throughout your entire life, and with the right care, it can continue to support your health for years to come.

And we’re here to help you!
