Here's the thing: We are most all exposed to HPV virus at some point in our lives. That includes men and women. And certain strains of HPV are associated with cancer risk. So, to find out that HPV is positive, which often happens when women go to get a pap smear, and more often are being tested for HPV and being told that it's positive, it can be quite scary.

So that might be why you're listening to this video freaking out thinking, "Oh my gosh, I'm HPV positive," or "HPV keeps showing up positive," or even that the HPV is causing abnormal cells on your pap smear or worse. And you feel like you just want to get out of this situation and get rid of this virus as fast as possible. And I understand—I help thousands of women every year to do exactly that in my practice.

What I find is even women who've been following my protocol for months—because oftentimes women who follow my protocol even within three months will find that HPV goes to negative—but sometimes if it hasn't gone away within six months and I go back, and we start digging, and we say, "What is still making this person susceptible to HPV?"

I'm a naturopathic doctor and midwife, and I've been helping women to address HPV virus for over 23 years. And one of the best ways to do that—to actually help your body, your immune system protect you from this virus—is by making dietary changes.

I have a whole protocol that I use in my practice. But today I want to focus on the top five foods that I see make the biggest difference when women are able to take them out of their diet—for at least a period of time until the HPV goes to negative.

1. So, the first food on that list is refined sugar. Refined sugar can reduce immune system function for hours after you consume it. If you're having sugar even once a day it's going to be reducing your immune system's ability to protect you from HPV.

2. Gluten is known to cause leaky gut, which is damage to the intestinal cells. This is important with HPV because there is a connection between your digestion and your vaginal area. If gluten is causing inflammation, that circulates around your whole body. Gluten also disrupts the bacteria in your digestion, which disrupts the vaginal microbiome.

3. Anything made from cow's milk except butter is an issue because of the proteins in dairy. The inflammation dairy causes makes you susceptible to infections like HPV.

4. Eggs can trigger an immune response because of leaky gut. So it makes you less protected from HPV virus.

The best way to find out for sure if gluten, dairy or eggs are triggering inflammation in your body is to do the food sensitivity panel I recommend and make accessible in my programs.

5. Any type of alcoholic beverage reduces immune function. If you're finding yourself having more than one drink more than once a week, then it could be making you more susceptible to HPV.
