#206 Metabolic Inflexibility and Weight Loss: Risks of New Drugs vs. Holistic Solutions with Märcelle Pick

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the HPV virus and how there is an increased risk of cervical cancer when exposed to narcissism or narcissistic abuse, such as gaslighting.  This is a really important topic, especially for women who are going through the process of having an abnormal pap smear and finding out that they're testing positive for the HPV virus, as well as for women who have maybe been dealing with HPV for years or even decades of their life. We want you to know that you don't have to be alone and you don't have to be suffering from recurrent procedures and fear and stress because of HPV, and that it is possible to heal and recover both from HPV and from narcissistic abuse. I hope that this message brings you hope and inspiration and just knowing that you're not alone, that you are important, and that healing is possible. I look forward to connecting with each of you.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about what to do if and when you receive abnormal pap smear results. That's because so many women contact me saying, "I just got back my pap smear results, and it's showing abnormal. It's showing HPV detected, and now I'm in such a state of fear, confusion, anxiety, and stress about this. What do I do?"  Oftentimes, your doctor may not explain to you what the results mean or what your options are. So, I'm hoping you're finding this video, and that it will help you to take a deep breath and start to make a plan of action for addressing the abnormal pap smear, so you can get your body back to fully healthy and prevent another abnormal pap smear in the future.

In this episode, I'm really looking forward to introducing you to Märcelle Pick, a functional medicine practitioner and nurse practitioner who has specialized in women's health since 1983. She's written books related to women's health, adrenal health, as well as weight and nutrition. She's here to talk with us about the risks of using GLP-1 agonist medications for weight loss. Märcelle has a lot of concerns about these medications because they are so new and not well understood, and they're not addressing the underlying cause of weight gain, which is metabolic inflexibility. I feel this is SUCH an important topic to cover, especially at this moment in time when so many of you are hearing about and thinking about taking these medications. That’s exactly why I’m excited to share this conversation with an expert to help you in your decision making. For those of you who are interested in getting my help to reset your blood sugar, leptin, and ghrelin, while eliminating inflammatory foods and supporting detoxification, I definitely encourage you to check out my New 14-Day Detox Program.  For the most comprehensive support, even with the most difficult health issues (physical or mental), and for access to the tests I mentioned in this episode, it is best to meet with me one-on-one, which is available to you no matter where you are in the world (via phone or zoom).  We’re here to help you!

In this episode, I discuss cervical dysplasia, which is when there are abnormal cells on the cervix before it turns into cancer, specifically CIN 2 and 3. Many women in this situation face the decision of whether to have a LEEP procedure or to take a natural approach called escharotic treatments.  If you're dealing with this decision, I think this video will be very helpful for you. It will also be useful for any women dealing with high-risk HPV and abnormal pap smears, in case you find yourself facing CIN 2 or 3 at some point.  For the most comprehensive support, even with the most difficult health issues (physical or mental), and for access to the tests I mentioned in this episode, it is best to meet with me one-on-one, which is available to you no matter where you are in the world (via phone or zoom) We’re here to help you!

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Jenny Tufenkian. She is a naturopathic physician from the Pacific Northwest but she's helping people around the world with fatigue and particularly with long COVID type fatigue symptoms. It's always so wonderful to get to connect with another naturopathic doctor and to share more about naturopathic medicine and how we think about health issues. I find that fatigue is one of the most common symptoms for people to have. The thing about it is there's a lot of possible underlying causes.  The important thing to know is that healing is possible. Yes, it can feel like an overwhelming and even impossible journey at times, especially if you've been dealing with chronic fatigue or other health issues for a long time. But our bodies have an incredible capacity to heal when given the right support. It's not always a linear process and it does take work and commitment. But small steps over time can lead to profound transformations. Don't give up on yourself. Keep seeking answers, keep advocating for your health, keep believing that you can feel better.

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about menstrual related health issues and how they're connected to testing positive for high-risk HPV virus strains.  This is a really important conversation because a lot of times when it comes to testing positive for the HPV virus, women are left with not enough information and their doctors are not providing that information. The doctors are doing what they're trained to do, which is important, to address abnormal cells.  What's happening, unfortunately, is women are left in a state of fear and not knowing what they can do to prevent abnormal cells caused by HPV and to prevent cancer in the long run. Women are also left not knowing what they can do about menstrual related symptoms other than take a birth control pill. I will help you gain freedom from the high-risk types of HPV, and at the same time help you to solve menstrual and menopausal related issues. We can solve both issues at once, and at the same time, hep you prevent future health issues.

In this episode I'm going to introduce you to Dr. Sarah Salzman, a leading couples psychologist and the founder and CEO of the Couples Communication Institute. That means she specializes in helping humans to communicate with each other, especially in a relationship with each other. When a couple can really communicate and build the kind of relationship where they both feel esteemed, heard, understood and supported, then they both can bring their own missions to their families, communities and careers in the world.

In this episode I talk about the five ways that HPV and leaky gut are connected. It's not a well known connection, but it is essential to address leaky gut in order to clear HPV and protect yourself from high risk strains of HPV. I want to make sure you understand what leaky gut is and exactly the ways that it's making you susceptible to HPV and how we can then address it.  It’s important to address gut health to decrease HPV risk and prevent it from returning. I recommend getting an accurate food sensitivity panel to identify leaky gut severity and foods to avoid to help heal it. We can heal the intestinal cells, get gut bacteria on track, drop inflammation, address nutrient deficiencies, reduce toxicity and boost immunity to reduce HPV susceptibility. I teach you how in my Say Goodbye to HPV Program and Heal HPV Worldwide Workshop. Join me to learn how to gain freedom from high-risk HPV, reducing cervical cancer risk. We address root causes making you susceptible to HPV. I guide you step-by-step to implement my protocol with support.

In today’s episode I'm really excited to introduce you to Dr. Srini Pillay. He is the Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of Reulay, a digital therapeutics company. As a Harvard trained psychiatrist and author of “Tinker Dabble Doodle Try”, he is known for pushing boundaries and looking at mental healthcare differently. I have a longstanding interest in researching and writing about the effects of stress on humans, and how we can help people recover from those effects. The conventional medical system often focuses on pharmaceuticals, but more people want other ways to help themselves navigate life stresses and experience wellness. This is why I'm excited to speak with Dr. Pillay. As both a psychiatrist and a person, he also looks at things differently to promote healing and offer guidance navigating our inner world. To learn more from Dr. Pillay, check out his book and the VR experience he helped create. If you enjoyed this, our 200th episode of How Humans Heal, please subscribe and post a review. We’d love to have you to continue to join us for future episodes. We plan to continue to share healing information to help transform human’s health now and into the future.
