How Humans Heal

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!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm covering one of the most common topics I get asked about every day: hormone therapy during perimenopause and menopause.
Whether you have fears about estrogen, your doctor recently recommended hormone therapy, or you're simply trying to figure out what to do, I want this to be your one-stop place to get informed and start making decisions.
There's a lot to understand, so I'll break it down as simply as possible. Keep in mind that this is never one-size-fits-all, everything needs to be individualized, monitored, and adjusted over time with a knowledgeable practitioner.
I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a Naturopathic Doctor and Certified Professional Midwife with over 26 years in practice. I learned about hormone therapy over 30 years ago in naturopathic medical school, so this is not a new topic for me. I've been helping women navigate hormones for decades, and I'm recording this in 2026.
Research over the past few years, particularly since 2023, has completely changed how both naturopathic and conventional medicine approach menopause.
I'm here to help you!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm really looking forward to introducing you to Lauren Lee Stone. She is a pediatric chronic illness specialist and co-author of the bestselling book "Brain Under Attack", a resource for parents and caregivers of children with PANS, PANDAS, and autoimmune encephalitis.
I'm so glad to be covering the topic of neuroinflammation – whether due to PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections), Lyme, or other form of autism or neurodivergence. There are thousands of children living with these conditions and parents seeking answers outside of the standard medical approach.
What is behind these conditions? And what can be done to help them using a holistic, natural approach? We answer those questions, and more, in this episode.
We're here to help you!

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.

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.
