#329 Bones, Hormones, and Happiness: Rethinking Osteoporosis with Margie Bissinger 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 not just about eating yogurt or lifting weights. There is research we can refer to and experts, like Margie, who’ve been creating content to help women. Margie hosts the Happy Bones Happy Life podcast and co-founded the Bone Health Academy, where she trains practitioners in her approach to bone health. Margie started helping women with osteoporosis when a group of endocrinologists asked her to see their patients with osteoporosis. She was upset to see well-intentioned women being told simply to "exercise," with no real guidance, so they turned to trainers or did whatever they could find, sometimes doing exercises that actually increased their fracture risk. That drove her to get involved on the state and national level, and she wrote one of the first books on exercise and osteoporosis. What Margie has seen over and over is that when people are given knowledge and tools, they CAN turn their bone health around. A scary diagnosis becomes a catalyst: people get stronger, eat better, reduce stress, and life improves. We’re here to help you!

#328 Forget Stress-Free: How to Actually Recover from Stress and Become Resilient to It 08/06/2026

#328 Forget Stress-Free: How to Actually Recover from Stress and Become Resilient to It 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 could actually cause you more stress, so I encourage you to release that concept. We often talk about "managing" stress instead, but I see people fail at managing stress all the time. So I reframe the goal to “mastering” stress by recovering from it. That's achievable. In this episode I'll teach you what I do to help my patients recover from stress and trauma and become resilient to it, because once we accept that stress is part of the human experience, we can take action to support ourselves through it and prevent its effects on our health and our lives.

#325 The Bloat Stops Here: Cracking the SIBO Code with Alexa Ress 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 Bacterial Overgrowth, as the real issue for a large share of IBS patients, with estimates ranging from 45% to 80%. SIBO happens when bacteria that belong in the colon start over growing in the small intestine, fermenting food and creating gas. This creates a range of symptoms: burping, chronic bloating that worsens through the day (some describe it as feeling six months pregnant), abdominal cramping, and changes in bowel habits, from constipation to urgency and diarrhea. Beyond digestion, people can experience low energy, brain fog, skin issues like acne or eczema, and joint or muscle pain. Optimizing your health is absolutely possible. There are more and more ways to support healing that don't require expensive treatments or complicated protocols. For this, it is important to address the underlying causes of health issues by working with a practitioner who can help you look deeper to uncover the root causes of your health issue, and help you to prioritize what to address first, so that you are finally able to break the pattern.

#323 Reframing Menopause as Renewal with Shira Averbuch 07/02/2026

#323 Reframing Menopause as Renewal with Shira Averbuch Welcome to How Humans Heal! In this episode, I'm excited to share my conversation with my guest, Shira Averbuch, a naturopathic practitioner based in Israel, founder of ShiraMed Center, and author of “The Moon Within: A Journey of Discovery and Connection to Menopause”. Her book offers a new perspective on menopause as a time of renewal, growth, wisdom, and reconnection to the body. She's also an artist and host of the podcast “Inspired to Be Higher”. Shira built her book around the four seasons, with three chapters in each season, and every chapter opens with a new month. She explained that a woman's life isn't linear the way our culture pushes us to believe. Instead, it's cyclical, like a spiral, connected to nature. That's why she called it “The Moon Within”. In many cultures the moon represents femininity, and the lunar cycle mirrors the female fertility cycle, both roughly 28 days, with the same rhythm of emptying and filling. When we reconnect to that rhythmic living, we find the light that's always been inside us. Shira is clear that she isn't dismissing how harsh, and sometimes dangerous, menopausal symptoms can be. She experienced them herself. But she believes we get distracted by symptoms and start seeing ourselves as victims, when really nature doesn't make mistakes. Symptoms are a signal, not a flaw, and they're asking us to look deeper and understand why we're suffering. And we’re here to help you!

#317 Folic Acid vs Methylfolate: Which to Take to Clear HPV and Abnormal Cells Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to help you understand the critical difference between folic acid and methylfolate, and whether you should be taking either one if you're testing positive for high-risk HPV virus and potentially abnormal cells. Folic acid and methylfolate are both forms of vitamin B9. Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, while methylfolate is the active form. Foic acid is commonly used in processed foods and many lower-quality supplements like multivitamins, prenatal vitamins, and B-complexes. Once you swallow folic acid, your body has to convert it into methylfolate, which is the form your cells can actually use. However, at least forty percent of us have at least one gene variation called MTHFR, which affects our ability to convert folic acid into folate. If you're one of those people with one or more MTHFR variations, you might not be able to convert folic acid as effectively. This means you won't get all the benefits from it. I've been in practice for over twenty-six years, and I specialize in HPV, abnormal pap smears, women's health, MTHFR, gene variations, and methylation issues. These are my specialties, and this is why I'm so passionate about helping people understand this topic. I’m here to help you!

#315 Did Your Doctor Say You Need A LEEP? Here's What You Should Know First! 05/07/2026

#315 Did Your Doctor Say You Need A LEEP? Here's What You Should Know First! Welcome to How Humans Heal®. In this episode, I want to talk about what to do if your doctor has told you that you need a LEEP procedure, and you're wondering whether that's really your only option. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor and certified professional midwife. I've been helping women navigate abnormal pap smears and high-risk HPV for over 26 years. I've seen thousands of cases, helped women heal their cervix, avoid LEEP procedures, and clear HPV completely. A LEEP procedure is used to remove abnormal cells from the cervix. It's recommended specifically for CIN2 and CIN3, which are considered high-grade dysplasia. It is not used for CIN1, which is low-grade, and it's not the appropriate treatment if the condition has progressed beyond CIN3 to carcinoma. In some countries, such as the UK, the procedure may be called a LLETZ procedure. The problem is that many women end up having one LEEP after the next LEEP, because within six months the abnormal cells come back. If the situation progresses, the doctor may recommend a conization, which removes part of the cervix, or even a hysterectomy. I've spoken to women who have had a hysterectomy and still test positive for HPV, because here is the critical thing that most doctors don't tell you: procedures do not remove the HPV virus. You can remove the abnormal cells, but if nothing changes in your body, the cells will come back. What I find is that HPV is often just one sign that your body is asking for attention — and going through the process of addressing HPV can help you heal from anxiety, depression, migraines, sleep issues, hormone imbalances, gut issues, and more. This could be your opportunity to change the way you relate to your body and your health. I’m here to help you!

#313 What Your OBGYN Isn't Telling You About HPV and Abnormal Pap Smears 04/24/2026

#313 What Your OBGYN Isn't Telling You About HPV and Abnormal Pap Smears Welcome to the How Humans Heal® Podcast. In this episode, I'm going to walk you through everything you need to know about your pap smear and HPV results, and the questions to ask your doctor so that you can make informed decisions about your health going forward. A lot of women feel completely caught off guard when they get an abnormal pap smear result. Sometimes they've gone their whole life without an abnormal pap, and out of nowhere they're testing positive for HPV. It can be very scary and overwhelming, and then you start searching everywhere for information. I want you to have the information you're probably not getting from your doctor's office. Oftentimes, the doctor's office doesn't call you when you have a normal result. Then when you do have an abnormal result, they may only have someone call to tell you that, and you're left wondering what it means and what to do. Even when you speak with the doctor or nurse, they might just say, come back in six or twelve months and we'll recheck it. That means you have six to twelve months to worry — and yes, there are absolutely things you can be doing during that time. There are ways to support your body to clear HPV, get it to negative, and keep it negative. I can say this after helping thousands of women do exactly that, using a holistic, natural approach.

#309 The 3 Dietary Mistakes Keeping HPV Positive (And What to Do Instead) Welcome 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. I’m here to help you!

#304 HPV: What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About the Emotional and Spiritual Connection 02/19/2026

#304 HPV: What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About the Emotional and Spiritual Connection 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 unaddressed emotional or energetic issue, it can absolutely influence us physically. So, when something shows up as a symptom or diagnosis, it may be related to something happening emotionally or spiritually. I've been working with thousands of cases for over 25 years, so I've had a great deal of opportunity to observe these connections. When a patient comes to me with an abnormal Pap smear, autoimmunity, migraines, or a skin rash, I begin by looking at physical imbalances — hormones, nutrient deficiencies, microbiome issues for example. But I've learned that it doesn't stop there. We also need to consider what's happening emotionally and spiritually, which brings us to the influence of stress and trauma on the human experience. In this episode I’m going to discuss the mind, body, spirit connection to health, and how recovery from stress and trauma can help eliminate or reverse health issues on a physical, as well as emotional, and spiritual level.
