| 49: Solving Infertility with Jaclyn Downs | 25 Sep 2023 | 00:42:10 | |
In this episode, we speak with Jaclyn Downs, a functional nutrigenomics consultant, author, and researcher with a passion for fertility optimization and reproductive wellness. Jaclyn explains that nutrigenomics is the interplay between nutrition and our genes, and how nutrition and toxins can affect how our genes are expressed. She provides insights from her comprehensive guidebook, Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine, which focuses on understanding and resolving unexplained infertility. Her book is aimed at those suffering from advanced maternal age infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, and those preparing for IVF cycles.

| 43: Connecting to your Authentic Self and Integrated Intelligence with Dr. Marcus Anthony | 18 Jul 2023 | 00:52:54 | |
In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Marcus Anthony speaks about his research on integrated intelligence, which is the idea that human consciousness is embedded within layers of intelligence that transcend the local mind. He explains that this form of intelligence involves the synchronization of the mind through mirror neurons, connecting us to each other, the environment, and spiritual realms. Dr. Anthony describes how this connection can be accessed through non-ordinary states of consciousness, such as dreams and meditative states, and can potentially change the way we think about intelligence. Dr. Anthony explains the concept of psychoneuroimmunology, which is the idea that one's thoughts and feelings can impact their nervous, hormonal and immune systems. He shares examples of how this can manifest in fertility and pregnancy, and how integrated intelligence can be used to positively impact these areas. The discussion explores the idea of knowledge, intuition, and synchronicity as part of an integrated intelligence, and the potential power and limitations of these concepts in understanding oneself and the world. Dr. Anthony shares a personal experience of how synchronicity had helped him to understand a difficult relationship with his mother, and suggests that it can be a powerful tool, though it should not be relied upon as the primary source of understanding. The conversation delves into the idea of integrated intelligence as a form of enhanced intelligence that connects us to realms of understanding that are difficult to access through traditional means. It explores the practical applications of this concept in areas like fertility and pregnancy, as well as its potential to change the way we think about intelligence and our relationship with the world around us.
Key Topics
● Integrated Intelligence ● Power and Presence Project ● Psycho Neuro Immunology ● Knowledge, Intuition, and Synchronicity ● Practical Applications

| 41: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) weight loss and optimizing fertility with Sandro Graca | 27 Jun 2023 | 00:47:39 | |
In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown welcomes Sandro Graca, a lecturer and researcher in reproductive health. They discuss polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which is a common condition affecting women's reproductive health. Sandro explains that PCOS is a metabolic disorder, which can cause long or absent menstrual cycles and the presence of multifollicular or cysts in one or multiple ovaries. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism or excess androgens in the body.
One of the main misconceptions about PCOS is the presence of cysts on the ovaries. Sandro clarifies that although cysts can be present, the diagnosis of PCOS is made based on other criteria such as hormonal imbalance and clinical symptoms. The diagnosis of PCOS usually requires a physical exam and blood tests that can help provide a better understanding of the condition.
The conversation also touches on the emotional and psychological aspects of PCOS. Treatment for this disease usually involves lifestyle changes such as exercise, diet, and stress management. Medications, supplements and acupuncture are sometimes used to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of developing other health conditions. Sandro emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for PCOS, and it is essential to work with a healthcare provider who can customize a treatment plan based on individual needs.
This episode provides a comprehensive overview of PCOS, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Dr. Brown and Sandro Graca offer valuable insights into this common condition, which affects millions of women worldwide. Their conversation is informative and accessible, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to learn more about PCOS.
Key Topics
● What is PCOS and how is it diagnosed? ● Symptoms of PCOS and their impact on emotional and mental health. ● Health risks associated with PCOS and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. ● Lifestyle changes that can help manage PCOS, including diet, exercise, and stress management. ● Medical treatments for PCOS, including medications and supplements to manage symptoms and reduce risk of developing other health conditions. ● The controversy around insulin resistance and its contribution to the metabolic aspect of PCOS. ● The role of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture in managing PCOS symptoms.
Bio: Sandro Graca MSc, Lic. TCM, FABORM
Sandro is a lecturer and a published researcher in the field of menstrual and reproductive health, Fellow of the ABORM (Acupuncture & TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine), and one of the Directors at Evidence Based Acupuncture.

| 38: Transforming Trapped Emotions: How to Release Stress and Trauma with Dr. David Berceli | 30 May 2023 | 01:10:00 | |
In this episode, we speak with Dr. David Berceli, a renowned expert in trauma intervention and conflict resolution, and the creator of Tension and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE). Dr. Berceli shares his insights on how stress can impact the body, and how this is especially relevant for those struggling with infertility. He explains that the trauma from a stressful event is not from the event itself, but rather from the sense of losing safety and connection. This loss of safety and connection is particularly relevant for individuals trying to grow their families, as the stress of infertility can be comparable to that experienced by those with a terminal illness or cancer. Dr. Berceli emphasizes the importance of releasing stress stored in our bodies to mitigate the effects on our well-being and fertility. He also discusses the science behind how chronic stress gets trapped in the body and impacts health, including the hypothalamus pituitary ovarian axis. Berceli's expertise provides a unique perspective on the emotional and physical impact of infertility, and the importance of holistic approaches to healing.

| 31: The Mechanics of Men’s Health with Dr. Paul Turek | 28 Mar 2023 | 00:39:50 | |
Male fertility is like an old car. If you take care of it and let it run how it wants, it should work all the time. But like all health sciences, there are exceptions to this rule and sometimes we need to take a different approach.
Dr. Paul Turek is joining me today from a vintage car mechanic shop to teach us how men can optimize their sperm quality and what factors affect it the most. Dr. Turek, the founder and director of The Turek Clinic and the inventor of sperm mapping, knows how to get to the bottom of male infertility to get men back on the road and running like new.
He says, “My approach to the treatment of male sexual health issues is similar to a vintage Ferarri: If you take the time to straighten out all of the kinks, it will run hard and fast.”
It really can be this simple, but if it turns out there are deeper underlying issues, Dr. Turek knows where to look with a method he invented called sperm mapping. It can not only give a bigger picture of male fertility but also detect other underlying health issues earlier than normal fertility testing.
Join us to learn why sperm is certainly 50% of the equation when it comes to conception, and what tools are available to improve male fertility. Because it’s not just a fertility play, it’s a men’s health play.
Key Topics/Takeaways
About Dr. Paul Turek Dr. Paul Turek is the world’s leading innovator in male reproductive health. Dr. Turek is the founder and director of The Turek Clinic. The practices are “clinical homes for men,” designed to provide state-of-the-art medical treatment to men across the globe. Dr. Turek is a leader in his field. A past president of the American Society of Andrology, he is a recipient of a prestigious National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant for research designed to help infertile men become fathers and has published some of the highest success rates worldwide for vasectomy reversals. Dr. Turek invented sperm mapping, an advanced alternative to microdissection procedures.

Trauma is stored in the body, and EFT is a tapping technique that utilizes acupuncture points so you can digest and release negative emotions that block the healthy flow of energy in your body.
Today Alina Frank and Craig Weiner join us from the EFT Tapping Training Institute, where they are certifying practitioners in Emotional Freedom Techniques.
This somatic exercise works by tapping on the meridian endpoint, which has a calming effect on the mind and body. In these moments of relaxation, patients can unpack overwhelming and sometimes unconscious traumas. Tapping helps patients expand their personal awareness with safe emotional exploration, ultimately healing the mind and body.
Surrender is the key ingredient to releasing trauma. Craig and Alina are helping practitioners and patients learn the skills to facilitate the reconciliation of the soul. It is possible to be at peace in a stressful situation. Post-traumatic growth is an outcome that anyone can achieve, and EFT is a simple tool on your healing journey! Join us as we investigate this revolutionary somatic tool for holistic wellness.

| 29: Achieve Extraordinary Things with Christina Grote | 14 Mar 2023 | 01:04:49 | |
Under the right circumstances, you could achieve what you perceive is impossible.
The ego is a tricky thing. It has the potential to warp your perception and confine you to a reality that negates the good and enhances the bad. Everyone wants change, but it must start from within.
Today’s guest is Christina Grote, co-author of Living an Extraordinary Life. She is a board member of ITP International, where she teaches you how to create the conditions for your body to do what it was meant to do.
Integral Transformative Practice is a comprehensive therapy that incorporates the body, mind, heart, and soul. In this episode, Christina teaches the fundamental principles of ITP, so you can set the stage for your natural abilities to arise. By doing the inner work and embracing the power of surrender, you can only achieve extraordinary things.
Your ego may insist that it knows the how and the when, but your body is in continual reciprocity with the universe, a wisdom that is beyond what you can define. Christina details how her experiences with surrender brought her peace, enabled her to access a new reality, and ultimately changed her inner spirit. Tune in as we explore the full scope of human potential!
Key Topics/Takeaways:
About Christina Grote: Christina Grote grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and made the unusual choice to move to Columbus, Ohio, in the mid-1970s following four years of international travel, living in Amsterdam, Afghanistan, and Montreal, eventually landing in the hill town of McCleod Ganj, India, the seat of the Dalai Lama. A life-long interest in natural healing prompted her to become a licensed massage therapist in Ohio in 1988, practicing many types of body and energy work and the therapeutic use of sound, music, and color. Her quest to find ways for her clients to improve their well-being led her to create self-care classes that included elements of ITP. Her further exploration of the practice led to her starting an ITP group in Columbus in 2004.

| 28: Endometriosis — It’s More Than Period Pain with Shannon Cohn | 07 Mar 2023 | 00:48:54 | |
Just because it’s considered normal does not mean it is healthy!
Millions of women live in pain because their endometriosis remains undiagnosed. Often, doctors ignore symptoms of bloating, constipation, anxiety, headaches, and abdominal pain, assuming that it is just hormonal or nothing “serious”.. Officially, 1 in 9 women are diagnosed with endometriosis, but experts suspect that as many as 1 in 4 women suffer from this silent disruptor.
Today, I welcome filmmaker and activist Shannon Cohn to discuss how endometriosis is disrupting the lives of millions of women and how women can advocate for better care.
In this episode, Shannon shares how she suffered for years before her diagnosis and how her experience inspired her film Endo What?, which laid the foundation of education for women to understand this disease. Her soon-to-be-released film, Below the Belt, is a call to action for healthcare providers and politicians to ensure women’s symptoms are not ignored. We have a Vancouver screening of her Movie on April 19th with more details found below.
Regardless of where you are in your journey, Shannon educates you on the warning signs and tips to advocate for your health. Join us as we explore how to balance Eastern and Western medicine to treat endometriosis.

Many of us sabotage our desires because we run subconscious programs (often inherited from childhood) that block us from experiencing joy and achieving our goals of health, loving relationships, abundance, and happiness. You can choose to rewire your brain by deactivating old programs that no longer serve you and replace them with new programs and beliefs that serve your best interest. This episode, I’m going solo on the mic to share some tools and techniques that will help you develop emotional resistance and lower resistance in your body. As a result, your life has more flow and receptivity as you confidently know that you can manage these uncomfortable feelings in seconds to minutes.

| 26: Building a Blissful Brain with Dawson Church, Ph. D. | 21 Feb 2023 | 01:12:37 | |
Can our thoughts and feelings impact our physical well-being?
That’s the question we’re setting out to answer this week on the Conscious Fertility podcast. I’m joined by Dawson Church Ph.D., the founder of the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare, to talk with me about the incredible link our mindset has to our mental, emotional, and physical well-being — and the impact it could have on our fertility.
In previous episodes, we’ve talked a lot about EFT, or the Emotional Freedom Technique, and how quickly it can rewire our brains to heal past trauma. In this episode, Dawson Church will share how EFT and having a positive mindset have led to positive fertility outcomes for couples struggling to conceive, helped people heal from PTSD, and taught others to turn adversity into conscious growth.
If you’re ready to build a more blissful brain and experience more joy — whether you’re on a fertility journey or not — join us as we explore the fascinating abilities of our minds!
