#330 The Lab Tests Every Woman With HPV Should Ask For!
How Humans Heal
Many women are told their labs are “normal,” or they aren’t offered certain tests that would provide additional information, including nutrient levels. But these levels matter when it comes to clearing HPV and preventing HPV-related cancer, as well as other health issues. In this episode, I explain why getting “normal” lab results doesn’t necessarily mean everything is fine. And 6 tests I feel should be ordered for women who are testing positive for HPV. I also explain that the reference ranges on lab reports are not necessarily “optimal” levels, and what levels you do want....

#329 Bones, Hormones, and Happiness: Rethinking Osteoporosis with Margie Bissinger
How Humans Heal
Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm talking with my friend Margie Bissinger, a Physical Therapist and Integrative Health Coach who has spent over 35 years helping women prevent and manage osteopenia and osteoporosis. Bone loss is especially important to think about during peri-menopause and menopause, because the greatest loss in bone density happens within 2 years of menopause (or cessation of your menstrual cycle). More than 50% of women will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Wow! There is SO much we can do to help prevent bone loss – and it’s...

#328 Forget Stress-Free: How to Actually Recover from Stress and Become Resilient to It
How Humans Heal
Welcome to How Humans Heal! In this episode I'm talking about how we can recover from stress even while we're under stress. I explain how it is that stress and trauma can make us susceptible to health issues, including HPV, why it’s imperative to know your Stress Type®, and how your Stress Type influences your stress and trauma recovery plan. I want to be clear from the start: I'm NOT going to talk about how to reduce your stress to zero or try to become stress-free, because as humans we're always going to have some stress exposure. Aiming to be stress-free is impossible, and chasing it...

#326 Why Avoiding Sugar Is the First Step to Clear HPV
How Humans Heal
Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode I’m going to be covering the most important first step you can take to improve your ability to clear high-risk HPV and for your general health: Avoid Sugar. Many women who are dealing with an abnormal Pap and HPV ask me: what can I do to start turning this around and prevent HPV from causing abnormal cells? I'm so glad you're asking, because in a standard doctor's office, you are likely to be told to wait six or twelve months to see if things get worse or turn into cancer. That's unsettling, to say the least! It is much better to take action and...

#325 The Bloat Stops Here: Cracking the SIBO Code with Alexa Ress
How Humans Heal
Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm speaking with Alexa Ress, a holistic nutrition and functional medicine certified health coach who specializes in SIBO, IBS, and gut health. So many people struggle with bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhea, and get confused by conflicting information online. I wanted to bring Alexa in to clear things up. Many people start their journey with an IBS diagnosis, which really means serious conditions have been ruled out, without explaining what is actually happening. Research is increasingly pointing to SIBO, or Small Intestinal...

#324 The Gut-HPV Connection: Why Healing Your Gut May Be the Key to Clearing HPV
How Humans Heal
Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I want to talk about something that surprises a lot of my patients: the connection between gut health and testing positive for high-risk HPV. It may sound unrelated, but from a naturopathic doctor's perspective, all health starts in the gut. From that premise, I always take my patients’ gut health into consideration. This isn't just a principle, it's based on research and 26 years of clinical experience helping thousands of patients, including many women with abnormal pap smears and high-risk HPV. It's not simply about exposure to the virus,...

There's a lot to understand, so I'll break it down as simply as possible.

info_outlineWelcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to talk about three things not to do if you want to clear HPV to negative and prevent it from causing abnormal cells.
I know how frustrating it is to find out you're testing positive for HPV, and especially if you've already had a treatment to remove abnormal cells and they keep coming back.
The problem is that medical procedures remove the abnormal cells but don't remove the HPV virus. So the virus keeps causing abnormal cells, and you feel stuck in a cycle of biopsies and procedures, wondering when it will ever end.
I talk to women from around the world who've been dealing with HPV for over 15 years, some of whom have even had a hysterectomy and still have abnormal cells occurring vaginally. And their doctor never told them that dietary changes could influence whether HPV persists.
Women deserve support to help their bodies clear HPV to negative and prevent abnormal cells in the first place — and that is absolutely possible. The research shows it's possible, and I see it happen regularly in my practice as a naturopathic doctor, professional midwife, and nutritionist. If you've been told otherwise, whoever told you that hasn't been reading the research.
Maybe you've tried some diet changes or a few supplements and you're still testing positive. I look at things from a much broader perspective. I look at the whole body, mind, and spirit. We have to look at all of you, not just your cervix. We need to individualize the approach, use clinical doses, and follow a comprehensive plan. When women follow my full protocol, that's when we see results go to negative and stay negative over time, even if they're re-exposed to HPV.
