#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.

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...

More Episodes

Hi and welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and today I'm excited to introduce you to Jane Hogan, a functional medicine certified health coach and wellness educator. She's the author of the best-selling book "Pain-Free on Purpose." I love that name. The subtitle is "Use Your Mind to Heal Your Body and Get Your Life Back," which sounds amazing and so helpful. I can't wait to hear all about this new book.

I was sharing with Jane, and a lot of the How Humans Heal listeners know my story and health journey - I spent so many years in pain - pain migraines, and from having Ehlers Danlos syndrome and joint hypermobility, as well as pain from chronic arthritis. So I understand what it's like to be in pain and how it feels to want to get out of pain. Often as humans, we have not just physical pain but emotional pain, and often they go together.

When we are in physical and emotional pain, we tend to reach for substances to get us out of pain, even if it's temporarily, and even if there are side effects or addictions. What Jane is here to share with us is how she was able to get herself out of pain without medications, and without side effects or addictions.

We’re here to help you!
