How Humans Heal

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. BreAnna Guan, a Naturopathic Doctor who, like me, graduated from Bastyr University. We talk about balancing women's hormones naturally, especially something rarely discussed: coming off the birth control pill and how healing your gut can help you to regulate your menstrual cycle.
So many women struggle with menstrual-related symptoms, whether that is menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, irregular cycles, which may or may not be diagnosed as endometriosis, PMOS, PMS/PMDD, or even peri-menopausal symptoms.
The most common prescription in gynecology is a birth control pill (BCP) or hormonal IUD, which essentially takes over for the ovaries, however, doesn't address the real underlying cause of the menstrual issues. And can cause women to live in fear with side effects and risk – risk of HPV increases after 6 years of BCP use.
More and more women are finding that they don't want to rely on synthetic hormones for years (if not decades) of their lives and are looking for help to balance their hormones naturally and optimize their ovary function, whether for pregnancy or for their health in general. That's exactly what Dr. BreAnna and I cover in this episode. So if you are dealing with menstrual-related health issues, don't want to be on the pill anymore, and want to understand how we approach women's health as naturopathic doctors, this episode will help you. 
We're here to help you!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I want to share with you about a conference I recently attended called the World Ayahuasca Forum in Girona, Spain.
This conference was the first of its kind, and it was so remarkable and amazing that I really wanted to share it to you here, so you that know about Ayahuasca as a healing modality and to provide resources so you can look into it more if you'd like.
I'm here to help you!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Kelly Livingston about nervous system regulation and dysregulation — what these terms mean, and what we can do to regulate our nervous system.
Dr. Kelly is the founder of Roots Deep Medicine, and is a licensed naturopathic doctor, like me. She is host of the Vital Spirit Podcast, where she explores nervous system regulation, the gut-brain connection, and psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology.
Dysregulation is more often mentioned in scientific as well as public audiences, as a way to honor the experience of having a human nervous system, and reframing the way we discuss mental health and mind-body medicine.
Many approaches we use in naturopathic medicine have been shown to be beneficial for regulating the nervous system, which Dr. Kelly and I explore in this episode.

Welcome to How Humans Heal! If you find that you wake up and race straight into an endless list of tasks, helping others, and rushing through the day, without a minute for yourself, then this episode is for you!
In this episode, I cover the importance of a morning routine, especially the first 30 minutes after you wake up. This is a key part of the day for you to take care of you and for you to give your body what it needs to support your health and healing.
Recovering from stress and trauma starts with taking care of you.
I share my morning routine, as an example and work in progress. I cover 5 things to include in your morning routine that I've found make a real difference — things that are backed by research as well as my own personal and clinical experience.
I'm here to help you!

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm joined by Tricia Nelson, an emotional eating expert and the best-selling author of Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now. Tricia is also the host of the Confessions of a Binge Eater podcast.
After struggling with her weight for years, Tricia realized that diets weren't working because the actual issue what not the food she was eating, but the emotions that were driving her to eat instead of feel. She healed herself and became inspired to help others.
I'm so glad to have this opportunity to talk with Tricia and for her to share her wisdom with all of you.
We're here to help you!
