#279 Can HPV Affect Your Fertility? The Link Between HPV, Treatments, and Reproductive Health 08/29/2025

#279 Can HPV Affect Your Fertility? The Link Between HPV, Treatments, and Reproductive Health Have you been wondering whether high-risk HPV and having an abnormal pap smear could impact your ability to have a baby? In this episode, I’m going to talk about the link between high-risk HPV and fertility issues. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a Naturopathic Doctor and Certified Professional Midwife, as well as a Clinical Nutritionist. I've helped thousands of women with abnormal pap smears and high-risk HPV virus to help them prevent progression of abnormal cells, prevent cancer, and help them clear high-risk HPV to negative and keep it negative throughout their lives. I help a lot of women who are at the time in their life where they're hoping for a pregnancy. In fact, sometimes women have gone in to see the gynecologist for a pap smear because they're trying to get pregnant, and that's when they find out they are testing positive for high-risk HPV. For some women, it's once they are already pregnant and go in for a pap smear in early pregnancy, only to discover they're testing positive for high-risk HPV. I also help women who are peri and postmenopausal and dealing with HPV at that point in their lives as well. In this discussion, I want to focus on those of you who are thinking about pregnancy, or might already be pregnant, and are now dealing with high-risk HPV. I know that in the doctor's office, they're not likely to tell you that there is anything you can do. They're likely to tell you to just come back and get retested to see if the cells progressed or got worse, but they're not likely to tell you about any kind of diet changes, lifestyle changes, let alone nutrients, herbs, or other approaches that you can take to protect yourself from HPV and support your body's ability to clear the virus to negative. I’m here to help you!

#278 Breaking the Pain Cycle: How Mind-Body Connection Creates Lasting Relief with Jane Hogan 08/22/2025

#278 Breaking the Pain Cycle: How Mind-Body Connection Creates Lasting Relief with Jane Hogan 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!

#276 The Hidden Microbiome Crisis in Your Gut (And How to Fix It) with Anu Simh 08/08/2025

#276 The Hidden Microbiome Crisis in Your Gut (And How to Fix It) with Anu Simh 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!

#275 The Truth About Pap Smears: Understanding Your Results and Next Steps 08/01/2025

#275 The Truth About Pap Smears: Understanding Your Results and Next Steps Did you just get your pap smear results back showing that you're testing positive for high-risk HPV virus? In this video, you’ll learn what the results really mean—and what to do next. Maybe your doctor mentioned that there are some abnormal cells, and they've told you to either wait and come back in three, six, or twelve months to see if it gets worse. Or perhaps your doctor is already talking about doing a biopsy, procedure, or surgery to remove abnormal cells. No matter what the situation, it's a reason for concern because now you have information saying there's a virus in your body that has the potential to cause cancer. You don't want to just wait around and see if it gets worse – you want to do something about it. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a Naturopathic Doctor, Professional Midwife, and Clinical Nutritionist. I've been helping women with abnormal pap smear to heal their cervix, and prevent cervical cancer as well as vaginal cancer, for over 25 years. I was originally trained to do primary care, but I saw that there was a huge gap in women’s healthcare. I saw that women need access to help to address HPV virus and prevent it from causing abnormal cells. I've made a very conscious decision to completely focus my practice on helping women whose doctors are telling them that all they can do is wait and see if it gets worse or recurs. Doctors are telling women there is nothing they can do to get rid of HPV, when my patients are able to get negative HPV and pap results. I'm here to help women with everything you can do to prevent cervical cancer. I do this both locally in the New York - Connecticut area, and around the world, because women can learn and implement my protocol to fight high-risk HPV and reverse abnormal pap smear results from wherever you are. I’m here to help you!

Even though your doctors or gynecologist may have told you that there's nothing you can do to get rid of high-risk HPV, I’m here to tell you that it is possible to reverse HPV and avoid procedures and surgeries.

#272 Recover from Trauma to Heal HPV – Report from an Ayahuasca Healing Retreat Center Many of you have been asking me about my recent trip to a healing retreat center in the Peruvian Amazon, so in this episode I'm going to be sharing about my experience at the healing retreat center, why you may want to consider going to a retreat center or doing a detox or reset type program, and also why a person might consider using psychedelic plant medicines, such as Ayahuasca, as a way to support your healing process. This video is going to be helpful for you if you have tested positive for high-risk HPV virus and maybe abnormal cells on your cervix and potential risk of cervical cancer or vaginal cancer, or any other kind of cancer for that matter. This will also be helpful for those of you who are working to conceive a pregnancy and prevent a miscarriage, and those of you who are going through perimenopause and post-menopausal symptoms, weight gain, blood sugar issues, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, migraines, autoimmune conditions, and simply wanting to prevent other health issues like heart disease and dementia. So really, this information could be helpful for all of us humans to heal! I hope this gives you new hope and inspiration for your ability to heal.

#268 Should I use Hormone Replacement Therapy in Menopause? The Shocking Truth About Breast Cancer vs. Dementia Risk 06/12/2025

#268 Should I use Hormone Replacement Therapy in Menopause? The Shocking Truth About Breast Cancer vs. Dementia Risk In this episode I'm going to help you answer the question: should I be starting hormone replacement therapy during peri or post menopause? Over the past 23 years, there has been a lot of fear about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The Women’s Health Initiative originally reported a concern about breast cancer risk, and that led many women to avoid hormone replacement. A newly updated report from the same researchers has completely changed the perspective on hormone replacement. The researchers are now stating that HRT is not increasing breast cancer risk the way they once feared. Instead, HRT can actually decrease disease risk, including by decreasing heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and osteoporosis. That is such essential information, and such a shift in what we’ve been hearing, that I wanted to cover this topic in detail. Choosing hormone replacement therapy is a very individualized decision. It’s important to understand and think through your medical history and your health risk factors. It’s also important to work with a practitioner who understands the latest research. It is essential to individualize your doses and how hormones are delivered to your body (oral, cream, patch, etc). I’m going to cover how to find a practitioner who can guide you every step of the way. I’m here to help you!

#266 The 5 Steps That Help Women Clear High-Risk HPV (When Doctors Say It's Impossible) 05/30/2025

#266 The 5 Steps That Help Women Clear High-Risk HPV (When Doctors Say It's Impossible) If you just found out that you're testing positive for high-risk HPV on your pap smear result, I'm going to walk you through the five essential steps I recommend for anyone who has received a positive high risk HPV diagnosis. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor and certified professional midwife who has been in practice for over 25 years helping women understand high risk HPV and what they can do to protect themselves from cancer associated with the high-risk HPV virus. You're in the perfect place to learn exactly what you need to do because I understand how scary it can be when you first get those test results back from your gynecologist showing positive for high-risk HPV. The diagnosis might be type 16 or 18 or one of the other fourteen types of high-risk HPV that are associated with cancer risk. No matter which type is testing positive—or sometimes more than one—it can trigger significant fear, anxiety, and worry about what to do next. What can you do to protect yourself? How can you be proactive? Often, gynecology offices tell patients to "just wait and come back in three to six months or a year, and there's nothing you can do about it." I speak with thousands of women every year, and this is what they consistently tell me their doctor's office says—that there's nothing you can do but wait and see if it causes abnormal cells or cancer. As someone who has been helping women for over 25 years—thousands of women around the world—I'm here to tell you that you don't have to wait and see if it turns into cancer. There are steps you can take starting now, and that's the purpose of this guide: to give you clear direction on what you can do immediately. I know it's challenging to find this We’re here to help!

#264 Supplements to Clear HPV Naturally with Dr. Doni In this episode I'm going to be talking about how to choose clinically effective supplements to help you clear high-risk HPV virus naturally using nutrients, herbs, and other natural products. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor, midwife, and clinical nutritionist. I'm an expert in helping women address high-risk HPV virus and abnormal pap smears, meaning abnormal cells on the cervix, vagina, vulva, or other areas. I've been helping women in this area for over 25 years, starting when I was in naturopathic medical school specializing in women's healthcare. I've subsequently helped thousands of women from around the world clear high-risk HPV virus to negative and prevent it from coming back again. Women come to me for one-on-one or group programs and say, "Dr. Doni, this is what I've been taking for the past three months or six months or even years, and HPV hasn't gone away. What am I missing?" Today, I want to share the five most common mistakes I find when I review supplements that people are taking to try to fend off HPV. It's not about perfection or being hard on yourself. It's about being gentle with yourself, acceptance of your body, acceptance of your thoughts, acceptance of your emotions. It's through being present with ourselves that we develop self-love, self-acceptance that's extremely healing and necessary when dealing with HPV and cancer risk. I’m here to help!

#262 Understanding Menopause: The Symptoms, Science, and Solutions You Need Now The number of women who are postmenopausal is increasing every year.

There's so much I want to teach you about menopause—more than I can cover in this one video.

#261 Food as Medicine: A Guide to Healing Through Nutrition with Chef James Barry 04/25/2025

#261 Food as Medicine: A Guide to Healing Through Nutrition with Chef James Barry Today I'm excited to introduce you to James Barry. James is the CEO and founder of an organ-based superfood seasoning called PLUCK. He's also a private chef with over 20 years of experience cooking for celebrities like Tom Cruise, George Clooney, and Barbra Streisand. Additionally, James is the co-author of several cookbooks, helping authors create their recipes. As a clinical nutritionist and naturopathic doctor, I'm constantly talking to people about their diet and food choices. Patients continuously ask me what I eat, what they should eat, and what they should avoid. It's an ongoing conversation about food, which is crucial because our food can be either our medicine or work against our health if we're not paying attention. We need to understand that what we consume directly affects our overall well-being, from our immune system to our energy levels and beyond. James works as what I would call a "holistic chef" - someone who knows how to cook and eat in a healthy way. He describes himself as "the how guy." When clients meet with doctors, nutritionists, or dietitians who tell them what foods to avoid, they often wonder, "How do I do that?" That's when healthcare professionals call Chef James because he understands food swaps and knows how to make those changes delicious. He ensures people don't feel deprived, which is key when dispensing information about food. We must remember people are human with emotions tied to food. We can't just say, "Don't eat this and eat that." We need to consider the emotional state, support people where they are, and then swap in foods that will help them reach their desired outcomes.

#260 Healing Harmony: Five Mind-Body Practices to Clear HPV Naturally! 04/18/2025

#260 Healing Harmony: Five Mind-Body Practices to Clear HPV Naturally! 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 surgeons can remove abnormal cells, but that doesn't remove the virus, which is why many people are told HPV won't go away. Yet research clearly shows the human immune system can clear HPV, even though it's a DNA virus with 14 high-risk types associated with cancer. The immune system can clear HPV, and I focus on this information. Why isn't your immune system clearing HPV? Why is it still there? Why is it causing abnormal cells when 90% of people clear the virus without developing abnormal cells? We need to determine what in your system is depleted, imbalanced, or disrupted. One natural approach to clearing HPV is the mind-body connection. I didn't always know this was essential. However, through case after case of working with women and researching what works best, I've found several effective approaches: - Diet changes to eliminate inflammatory foods - Nutrients to address deficiencies and support immunity - Probiotics for gut and vaginal microbiomes - Homeopathy to remind your immune system to protect against HPV We’re here to help!

#259 Your Mouth, Your Health: How Biological Dentistry Can Help You Heal with Dr. Toni Engram 04/11/2025

#259 Your Mouth, Your Health: How Biological Dentistry Can Help You Heal with Dr. Toni Engram 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 medicine has an appreciation for the biological terrain. It's not just about one germ causing one illness - it's about what our toxic bucket looks like. Have we filled it too much and is it overflowing, or are we supporting it? In biological dentistry, practitioners look carefully at what materials they're using and whether those are helping or hurting. They look for infections in a patient's mouth that might be hiding and could impact overall health. When toxins or infections are involved, biological dentists use techniques that aim to be safer and more natural whenever possible. They don't use fluoride anywhere in the office. When taking out old silver fillings that are half mercury, they follow specific protocols to protect patients and staff. Even the filling materials used are carefully sourced as responsibly as possible. People can search online for a biological dentist in their area. Many patients switch to a biological dentist when their regular dentist retires, or when they realize that traditional dentistry doesn't align with their values. It's about finding a practitioner whose approach matches what you believe in. Some patients don't want fluoride, don't want unnecessary junk in their mouth, and want to ensure dental work is done safely without unnecessary X-rays. What's interesting is that Dr. Toni also has health coach certification, which isn't common even among biological dentists. This gives her a broader perspective on health - she's not just looking at the patient's mouth but considering how their diet and overall health relate to what's happening with their teeth. Health coaching skills help her with one-on-one patient conversations and in communicating with the public through platforms like Instagram and YouTube. It gives her more fine-tuned skills around how to actually help patients to do the things that support them in getting healthier overall. We’re here to help!

#258 The 5 Foods to Help Clear High Risk HPV and Prevent Cervical Cancers 04/04/2025

#258 The 5 Foods to Help Clear High Risk HPV and Prevent Cervical Cancers In this episode I’m going to be covering 5 foods to include in your diet to help clear high risk HPV and prevent HPV-related cancers such as cervical and vaginal cancer. I know how confusing it can be to figure out what to eat and what not to eat. Once you realize that the food you feed your body each day can be your medicine and actually help prevent health issues, you start to understand the importance of choosing foods that will do the most good for you. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor, clinical nutritionist, and midwife. I've been practicing for over 25 years and specialize in women's health, particularly helping women with abnormal pap smears as well as humans with various different stress-related health issues. I want to emphasize that the food choices I’ll be mentioning here will help your overall health. It's not that they only help with abnormal pap results or high risk HPV. When we choose these foods, they help our whole health. Most often, when women test positive for high risk HPV, they are also dealing with other health issues in their body—whether that's digestive issues, skin issues, weight issues, anxiety, depression, mental health issues, sleep issues, autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, or other health concerns. The foods I'll cover in this video will help with any and all of these health issues. Our priority is to choose foods to help support your immune system protect you from high risk HPV so you can clear it to negative and prevent it from coming back again. We’re here to help!

#255 Best Support for Fertility with Dr. Susan Fox! 03/14/2025

#255 Best Support for Fertility with Dr. Susan Fox! Today I'm looking forward to introducing you to Dr. Susan Fox. She's a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and she's the creator of the "Your Fertile Health Program" as well as the "Best Prep for Pregnancy - Naturally or through IVF or Egg Freezing" Online Summit. So many people out there are struggling with fertility and going through the IVF process with all the stresses that come with it. They're needing help and guidance, but might not know where to turn or what their options are. I think it's wonderful that Dr. Susan is offering fertility support from a Chinese medicine perspective. In my practice I also help many couples to conceive naturally and/or through IVF, and to prevent a miscarriage, with a naturopathic approach. It is so rewarding to help people to create the family of their dreams. As with most health concerns, including preparation for pregnancy and prevention of pregnancy loss, it is when we use strategies from all systems of medicine that we can achieve improved results. It’s not about choosing one approach or another. Natural approaches can be combined with allopathic approaches to improve fertility outcomes. Learn more about the role of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in this episode, and about the Best Prep for Pregnancy Summit, with Dr. Susan Fox.

#254 Why There's NO Magic Pill for HPV or ANY Health Issue! 03/07/2025

#254 Why There's NO Magic Pill for HPV or ANY Health Issue! 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 or limitations. I think we can all relate to this – we would all love it if there was some magic pill we could swallow that takes away all of our pain, whether physical or emotional, cancer risk, or whatever troubles we're experiencing in our life. Wouldn't that be amazing if we could just take a pill and it all goes away? When we get a headache, we immediately think, "Where's that pill I could take to make the headache go away?" Sometimes it works – we take a pill and the headache disappears. The problem is if we get a headache every day and take that pill every day, eventually that pill can start to have side effects and negative impacts on our bodies. At that point, even if that pill is taking our headache away, it might be causing a stomachache, for example. This is the limitation of taking a medication or substance we often turn to for a quick fix. As humans, we have to learn to stop ourselves from chasing that next shiny object, hoping that one thing is going to fix everything and we're never going to have to think about it again. We need to realize that the reality is that most often, things are not really fixed with a magic pill. They're more often resolved with true intention and transformation.

#253 The 3 Ways High-Risk HPV Virus Acts Like a Narcissist! 02/28/2025

#252 Meet Laura Lang-Ree, The Cancer Mom Who's Empowering Parents! 02/21/2025

#252 Meet Laura Lang-Ree, The Cancer Mom Who's Empowering Parents! In this episode I'm excited to introduce you to Laura DeKraker Lang-Ree. 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 age three. That's huge to have gone through the cancer treatment process and come out the other side saying "I want to help others by writing the book I needed when I was in the process of helping my daughter." Navigating the treatment process can be so stressful. The medical team is phenomenal at the treatment side, but they don't have time to explain everything parents need to know about managing daily life, supporting their child's wellbeing, and maintaining their own health through the process. This book aims to provide that missing piece - the information parents desperately need but doctors don't have time to share. The impact of cancer treatment goes far beyond the medical aspects. It affects the whole family - parents, siblings, and extended family members. It changes routines, challenges relationships, and forces families to develop new ways of coping and supporting each other. Laura's book addresses all these aspects, providing practical guidance for navigating both the medical journey and the profound personal transformation that comes with it. I’ve very proud to have contributed to the Cancer Parent’s Handbook with insights as a naturopathic doctor, and as Laura’s doctor (with her permission to share). We’re here to help you!

#251 Meet Dr. Brandy Cummings, The HEALTH HERO Every Mom Needs! 02/14/2025

#251 Meet Dr. Brandy Cummings, The HEALTH HERO Every Mom Needs! 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, making it harder for them to take care of themselves and their children. Women have been taught that they “should” be a “super mom” – to take care of everyone without feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. But the fact is, most moms do experience fatigue, anxiety, and burnout, let alone many other health issues. And women feel their health issues aren't being adequately addressed by the standard medical system. Dr. Brandy has created the Resilient Motherhood Summit as a platform for women to learn more about the possibilities for healing, even if they’ve been told that healing is not possible. I'm deeply grateful to be part of the Resilient Motherhood Summit to discuss HPV and abnormal pap smears, which many mom’s face without adequate help. Plus, as a stress expert, I see that when women are burned out due to not having enough support during motherhood, they become more susceptible to HPV and other health issues. As healthcare practitioners, Dr. Brandy and I both believe that women deserve and need more support – with diet, lifestyle, and overall wellness – during and after pregnancy in order to prevent health issues.

#250 The 5 Surprising Ways That Menopause Increases Risk of HPV 02/07/2025

#250 The 5 Surprising Ways That Menopause Increases Risk of HPV In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the five reasons that high-risk HPV virus and abnormal pap smears are more common during peri and post-menopause. Many women think that dealing with HPV and abnormal pap smears is primarily a concern for women in their 20s and 30s. While yes, it is a concern for younger women, it's also a significant issue for women over age 35. Age 35 marks the beginning of perimenopause, which means around the time of menopause. Menopause is defined by one year since your last period, with the average age being 51. This means that post-menopause comprises most of a woman's life, making it crucial to understand how to support women during this transition and beyond. Perhaps some of you listening have already dealt with abnormal cells or cancer related to HPV and want to know how to prevent a recurrence. I'll be sharing that information with you because this is something I specialize in helping women address. We need to understand why it is and how it is that high-risk HPV virus can test positive during this time of your life, and know that there's so much you can do to protect yourself from high-risk HPV to prevent it from causing cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, or other types of HPV-related cancers.
