It is well-established that health issues that appear on a physical level are often related to or even caused by unaddressed emotions and/or energetic imbalances. This is also true for high-risk HPV, abnormal Pap smears, and cervical and vaginal cancer risk. As humans, when we experience symptoms — a headache, a skin rash, pain, or HPV and an abnormal Pap result — we tend to think of them as occurring only on a physical level. But research has demonstrated that these health issues are related to emotional and spiritual, or energetic, levels as well. When there is an imbalance, trauma, or...

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to talk about blood sugar levels and how optimizing them can help you clear high-risk HPV virus to negative and get a normal Pap smear result. As you optimize your blood sugar, you're going to optimize your whole health because when we have optimal blood sugar, we have optimal immune function, optimal hormone levels, lower inflammation, and a healthier microbiome—both gut and vaginal. This means we can prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia while improving energy levels, sleep, focus, memory, and body weight. There are...

Welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and in today's episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Debi Robinson. She's a functional bone health expert and a certified yoga therapist. In this episode we are going to break myths about osteoporosis and bone loss, and help you feel confident about what you can do to build your bones, including with yoga. It can be very scary to find out that you have osteoporosis. The standard medical approach doesn’t include diet, nutrients, or yoga, even though there is evidence to show they are effective. That’s exactly why I’m glad to interview...
info_outlineHi and welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and in this episode I'm going to talk about how to take care of ourselves and our health during the holidays.
Very often what I hear from people is that we hit a certain point in the year and then when the holidays start happening—no matter which country you live in and no matter which holidays you observe—the holidays can really throw off your healthcare routine. Next thing you know, months go by and you find yourself coming out of it thinking, "What just happened to me?" And you have to start all over again.
I want to share some tips with you so that hopefully I can help you to change that pattern and even improve your health during the holidays. These same tips will help you if you're under stress of any type. A lot of times, if you're going through a point in your life where there's a lot of activity, extra things going on, extra demands emotionally and physically on yourself, that's when we tend to take care of ourselves LESS when we should be taking care of ourselves more.
I want to encourage you that it is possible to learn to take care of yourself during times of stress. It’s start with awareness and a willingness to observe ourselves. And specifically, a willingness to be gentle and loving with yourself instead of judging yourself or being critical or harsh on yourself.
I’m here to help you!
