In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the concept of the "magic pill" and I'm going to be especially using it to talk about risk for HPV-related cancer, specifically cervical cancer in women. But I encourage you to listen in regardless of what health issue you're dealing with to better understand the mindset, perspective, and paradigm shift that I see my patients making in order to truly transform their health.

The magic pill concept is about a fictional or hypothetical medication that can miraculously heal or cure any kind of health issue from a single pill without any side effects or limitations. I think we can all relate to this – we would all love it if there was some magic pill we could swallow that takes away all of our pain, whether physical or emotional, cancer risk, or whatever troubles we're experiencing in our life.

Wouldn't that be amazing if we could just take a pill and it all goes away?

When we get a headache, we immediately think, "Where's that pill I could take to make the headache go away?" Sometimes it works – we take a pill and the headache disappears. The problem is if we get a headache every day and take that pill every day, eventually that pill can start to have side effects and negative impacts on our bodies. At that point, even if that pill is taking our headache away, it might be causing a stomachache, for example.

This is the limitation of taking a medication or substance we often turn to for a quick fix. As humans, we have to learn to stop ourselves from chasing that next shiny object, hoping that one thing is going to fix everything and we're never going to have to think about it again.

We need to realize that the reality is that most often, things are not really fixed with a magic pill. They're more often resolved with true intention and transformation.
