#312 Closing the Information Gap in Women's Healthcare - Information Every Woman Needs — with Shivan Sarna

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I want to share with you about mold toxicity: what it is, how to recognize it, how to test for it accurately, and what an effective detoxification protocol looks like. This is something I've been seeing more and more in my practice. Five years ago, it was showing up so often that I completed a full mold toxicity certification program so I could offer my patients the most up-to-date and effective protocol. And I want to be clear: most of the people I identify with mold toxicity never knew they had it. They weren't seeing mold, and standard medical care simply isn't looking for it. That's why it can be a hidden underlying cause of health issues that aren't getting better no matter what you do. Let me walk you through the most common signs I look for. The time has come for women and men to take charge of their health and well-being, understanding that preventive care now leads to better outcomes in the future. I'm here to help you!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to answer the question so many of you ask me: which supplements should I take to help my body clear high-risk HPV and prevent abnormal cells or cancer associated with it? I want to walk you through the research on specific nutrients that have been shown to be protective against high-risk HPV and to help reverse abnormal cells. That way, you can get the information you need to start thinking about which supplements to take. I also invite you to grab whatever supplements you currently have, so we can look at the ingredients together and figure out whether they're high quality and whether they contain effective nutrients at effective doses. I'm here to help you!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm interviewing Kelly Kennedy, the Lymph Queen and Head Practitioner at the True Wellness Center, who has been helping people improve their lymph function and flow for over twenty years. I'm so grateful to have her here to share with you what the lymph is, how you know if you need help with your lymph, and where you can begin to reset your lymph system. Healthy lymph flow is essential for helping you to clear HPV, so this episode is essential if you have an abnormal Pap. We're here to help you!

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!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Beverly Yates, a fellow naturopathic doctor and MIT-trained engineer, internationally recognized speaker, and author of the book "The Yates Protocol: 5 Simple Steps to Fix Your Blood Sugar and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes." Optimizing blood sugar levels is a topic I discuss with my patients every single day, and I'm so glad Dr. Beverly is here to share her knowledge with all of you. As naturopathic doctors, our focus is not on finding another medication to manage symptoms. We want to understand what's happening beneath the surface so we can actually reverse the problem. And with blood sugar, we need to be paying attention long before it becomes diabetes. Even mildly elevated blood sugar increases the risk of heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer's, and cancer. Right now, a third of teenagers in the U.S. are pre-diabetic, and more than half of people with prediabetes are undiagnosed. This isn't sustainable, and it's on each of us to become aware and choose differently. We're here to help you!

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!

Welcome to How Humans Heal®, I'm Dr. Doni. In this episode, I'm so excited to introduce you to Cynthia Thurlow. She is a nurse practitioner, host of the Everyday Wellness Podcast, bestselling author, international speaker, and author of the brand new book The Menopause Gut: Balance Your Microbiome to Reclaim Your Health in Midlife and Beyond. Her TED Talk has over 15 million views, and I have to say, this book feels like her story — like she finally gets to share what she's been living and learning over the past decade. We're diving deep today into the gut-hormone connection, and I think this conversation is going to be eye-opening for so many of you. We're here to help you!

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.

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I want to address a question I hear all the time: does HPV ever really go away, or is it dormant and going to reappear again? I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and I'm so glad you're here, because there is so much misinformation about high-risk HPV that the confusion is creating more risk for women and men when it comes to HPV-related cancer. I'm here to break those myths and give you the facts, so you can make real decisions to move forward and protect yourself. I'm sharing this based on over 26 years of clinical experience as a naturopathic doctor and midwife, helping thousands of women clear HPV to negative — and keep it negative for long periods of time, including cases that have been negative for more than 15 years at this point.
