Today I want to talk about where to begin when you get a positive HPV test. A significant change has occurred in how we detect HPV - decades ago, we only discovered HPV once abnormal cells were identified. Now, women are tested for high-risk HPV during routine pap smears, leading to more frequent diagnoses. I believe women are more susceptible to high-risk HPV than ever before. The HPV virus doesn't discriminate by age; I help women from age 20 to 75 and beyond because HPV can affect women at any stage of life. Importantly, even after a hysterectomy, you're not immune - the virus can impact vaginal cells, the vulvar area, anal area, and oral cavity. I want you to know you're in the right place, as I've helped with all different scenarios, ages, types of HPV virus, and locations in the body.

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Betty Murray, women's health expert and researcher, as well as founder of a functional medicine clinic in Dallas, TX. She also runs a telemedicine clinic called Menrva where she helps women master menopause. She has a podcast, a TV show coming out, and a program specifically focused on helping women with menopause. I invited Dr. Murray to join me on How Humans Heal because I want you, the listeners, to have the latest, greatest information about menopause, hormone replacement, and metabolism so you can be making the informed decisions for your health care now, without having to wait for that info to be integrated into standard medical care. Dr. Murray's research is related to the microbiome and metabolism of women in menopause. In her research she was able to solve the mystery of why weight gain happens, and how to prevent it. When asked what got her started with this focus area, she shared that her passion about helping women with menopause started with experiencing it herself. As a clinical nutritionist, she become immersed in understanding the changes women experience and what can be done to address them without causing other issues. Dr. Murray believes women deserve so much more support during the menopause transition, and that is what drives her to be so outspoken about what is possible and what is not being offered in the standard of care.

This episode explores three top topics from episodes in 2024: the mucus layer's protective role in maintaining gut barrier integrity, the bidirectional relationship between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the importance of methylation and the MTHFR gene. During the first topic of discussion, we detail ways to support the intestinal mucus layer; as we approach the third topic of discussion, we highlight the impact of MTHFR enzyme activity on methylation, emphasizing its importance for many cellular processes. Topics: 1. Introduction: 3 Top Topics of 2024 2. The Protective Mucus Layer Over the Intestinal Epithelial Lining The intestinal barrier: intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, lamina propria, and more. The mucus layer functions as both a physical and biochemical barrier. Goblet cells secrete mucins, which form the gel-like mucus layer, critical for maintaining barrier integrity. Dysregulation of mucus turnover can lead to increased intestinal permeability and inflammation. Supporting mucus levels: SCFAs, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). Plant-derived mucilage and sources. 3. HPA Axis and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Interactions The HPA axis and the stress response. Microbiota-gut-brain axis. SCFAs produced by gut bacteria can influence gut barrier integrity and stress resilience. Dysbiosis disrupts SCFA production, weakens the gut barrier, and triggers inflammation. Dysbiosis and HPA axis dysregulation. Chronic cortisol secretion and secretory IgA. 4. The MTHFR Gene and Methylation Methylation involves transferring methyl groups. The synthesis of SAMe, the universal methyl donor: methionine and ATP with active folate (L-methylfolate) as a precursor. MTHFR gene polymorphisms reduce enzyme efficiency, impairing methylation and affecting DNA stability, neurotransmitter synthesis, and detoxification. Strategies, supplements, and more to support methylation. Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

The health of your gut microbiome, particularly the presence of beneficial bacteria and absence of harmful bacteria in the small intestine, plays a crucial role in heart disease prevention and treatment.KISMETRecent research shows that when beneficial gut bacteria produce oxytocin, it not only improves heart health but also helps reduce social isolation and increases empathy - suggesting that gut health could play a role in addressing societal division and mental health issues.EPISODE SUMMARYDr. William Davis, a former cardiologist, explains how traditional heart disease treatments focusing on cholesterol and statin drugs have failed to reduce cardiovascular events significantly. He presents compelling evidence that gut health, particularly the presence of harmful bacteria in the small intestine (SIBO), contributes to heart disease through a process called endotoxemia. The solution involves restoring beneficial bacteria, especially Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus gasseri, through fermented foods and supplements. These bacteria help prevent harmful bacteria from moving into the small intestine while producing beneficial compounds that support heart health. Additionally, Dr. Davis emphasizes the importance of key nutrients often missing in modern diets: vitamin D, magnesium, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids. He shares how recent clinical trials demonstrate that high-dose omega-3 supplementation can actually reverse coronary plaque buildup. The interview challenges conventional medical wisdom and offers practical, natural solutions for preventing and reversing heart disease.NOTABLE QUOTE"American healthcare is not an evidence-based process.
