Episode 21: A Patient-centered Fertility Journey

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 42:08

In this episode, Jennifer talks with Nicole Lange, LicAc, MAOM, a thought leader and fierce advocate addressing what she sees as a PTSD epidemic in fertility care. As founder of Life Healing Life in Minneapolis, MN, Nicole has pioneered a harm-prevention approach that protects patients from the treatment-induced trauma affecting nearly 50% of people in fertility treatment.

Since 2006, Nicole has revolutionized fertility care through her evidence-based practice that integrates reproductive science with trauma-informed care, traditional Chinese medicine, and nervous system regulation. She maintains the critical 25/75 ratio: 25% addressing reproductive anatomy, 75% supporting whole-person wellness—the factors determining 80% of outcomes.

Key topics discussed:

Nicole’s wellness journey: navigating trauma and PTSD with western medicine and ultimately finding whole body health and healing with traditional Chinese medicine and a patient-centered model.
Is there a PTSD epidemic in fertility care?
Understanding trauma; how it presents and how people experience it
Iatrogenic harm or trauma that occurs when treatment is not patient centered addressing the mind-body connection
Salutogenesis and the creation of health
Finding meaning in your journey and making it more manageable and tolerable, and tools to do so
Components of a patient-centered fertility journey include listening and learning
“Baby Blinders”: when you’re doing all the things to get pregnant, without thinking about you, holistically
Nicole’s patient-centered fertility work, including addressing trauma
