Thank you so much for joining me here, at How Humans Heal.
I don’t pretend to have all the information. I simply share what it is that I’ve learned as a human and as a naturopathic doctor. And I share the opportunity to learn from other practitioners and experts who are also wanting to share what they’ve learned about being human and supporting our health, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
I really believe that there is not one perfect or cookie cutter solution for all of us. We are each unique individuals, with unique needs. And yet, at the same time, there is so much we can learn from each other to help all of us along the path of human existence.
That is my passion and joy and mission in my life – to honor being human and human existence, and to be curious, accepting, open and learning along the way.
I share what I’ve seen to be helpful for myself and for my patients. That doesn’t mean it is necessarily going to be helpful for you, and yet I hope it is. And if not, we have learned, yet again.
I’m glad you found me and that you are here. I welcome your desire to be more human and to be living your life in a state of greater awareness, love and gratitude.
Please let me know how I may be of service to you.

Physical therapist and medical visionary, Melanic Weller, shares how she started “thinking outside of the box” for her patients with rare conditions. By looking at the whole body, instead of just where the pain is located, she realized that often it’s by understanding what is happening in the body/mind/spirit that we find the deepest healing.
The interconnectedness is not random. There are 11 million bits of information occurring between our brain and the rest of our body every second. This happens via the vagal nerve. If the vagal nerve is compressed, it’s like a traffic jam in the signaling.
We talked about:
Understanding the vagal nerve
Decompressing the vagal nerve
How we embody stress on the horizontal plane
The more restricted we are physically, the more affected we are emotionally
What our stories about our bodies tell us about ourselves
Symmetries in nature and in our bodies
The vagus nerve gives us access to our own consciousness. Our mind and body are fully interconnected, and to the extent that we separate them, we are separate from ourselves.
It is often through the way we speak about ourselves or tell the story of ourselves that we can identify the source of illness and rebalance our vagal nerve.
This interview just makes me more excited to continue researching and helping patients to understand how stress affects us and how to become resilient to stress. Supporting vagal nerve function is an essential part of the stress recovery process.
If you’ve been struggling with your health and wanting to think about it from a whole different perspective, be sure to listen in to this episode.

When it comes to needing to have a medical procedure or surgery, there are absolutely ways to support yourself through it so that you can recover quickly.
I’ve been guiding patients to just that for over 2 decades, and I recently had an opportunity to use my surgery protocol myself. I had surgery on the front part of my neck/chest a few days ago and am sharing about the process with you in this podcast.
In this episode, I talk about:
What it is like to have an unknown condition and go through the process of finding a surgeon
Preparing – mentally, physically, and spiritually – for surgery
Supplements I took to prepare and to help my body heal
Asking for support and help
Being open to how your recovery process looks
There can be a lot of unknowns, when it comes to facing a medical procedure, and usually unknowns are what can trigger fear and stress. Add to that the physical stress of a medical procedure, and the whole thing can push you “over the top”, so to speak.
Knowing all this, my goal for preparing for surgery was to create as much known and support as I could, and then “go with” whatever unknown occurred.
Now that I’m on the other side of it, I’m so grateful to my medical providers and my friends and family, who really showed up in support of me. I’m also beyond happy that I had the surgery and am now able to truly support my body to heal and prevent this from happening again.
Please listen in to this podcast if you are preparing for a medical procedure, or if you’ve worried about needing to have a procedure at some point in the future.
And reach out to me and my office at office@doctordoni.com if you’d like to meet with me so that I can set up a surgery protocol for you and guide you through YOUR recovery process.
