The Coherence Code Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with psychiatrist and author Anna Yusim to explore the intersection of science and spirituality. Together, they dive into intuition, synchronicity, and the deeper reasons behind anxiety, emptiness, and overachievement—especially in high performers who seem to “have it all” yet still feel unfulfilled.Dr. Yusim shares how her journey from traditional psychiatry into spiritual exploration transformed both her life and her clinical work. They unpack why external success often fails to bring lasting happiness, how unresolved patterns live in the body, and how true fulfillment comes from reconnecting with your inner self. This conversation bridges neuroscience, psychology, and ancient wisdom—offering a grounded yet expansive perspective on what it really means to live a meaningful life.Key Takeaways:Fulfillment isn’t achieved externally—it's cultivated through inner work and self-awareness.High achievers often chase success to fill an internal void, but it can deepen emptiness.Intuition and synchronicity are real phenomena that can be developed and understood.Healing requires a holistic approach: mind, body, and spirit—not just talk therapy or medication.Relationships are powerful mirrors for growth, not just sources of happiness.Dr. Anna Yusim Bio:Dr. Anna Yusim is a board-certified psychiatrist, executive coach, and bestselling author of Fulfilled. Educated at Stanford and Yale, she serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Yale Medical School and co-founded the Yale Mental Health & Spirituality Program.She works with high-performing individuals—including CEOs, athletes, and public figures—helping them align success with purpose and well-being.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Kim D'Eramo shares her journey from conventional physician to mind-body healing pioneer after recovering from a severe autoimmune diagnosis that doctors believed would permanently limit her life.She explains how consciousness, emotional regulation, and nervous system awareness influence physical health, introducing her practical A-B-C process (Awareness, Breath, Choose) to help people shift out of chronic stress patterns. Together, the discussion explores how emotional suppression fuels illness, how self-healing is activated by releasing resistance, and how tools like breathwork and Ho’oponopono can transform both patient care and personal wellbeing.Key Takeaways:The body is always listening. Thoughts and emotional states directly influence physiology and immune function.Chronic illness often reflects unresolved emotional patterns rather than purely physical dysfunction.Awareness is the first step to healing. Observing internal states without resistance begins nervous system regulation.Breathing shifts biology. Parasympathetic activation enables the body’s natural repair systems.Healing accelerates when resistance drops. Self-acceptance and emotional processing restore coherence and flow. Dr. Kim D’Eramo Bio:Kim D’Eramo, D.O. is a conscious physician, founder of The American Institute of MindBody Medicine, and bestselling author of "The MindBody Tool Kit," and newly released “Be Your Own Healer.” As a physician and MindBody Medicine Practitioner, she has helped thousands of individuals to release patterns of illness, disease, anxiety, depression, pain, fatigue, and other health ailments.

In this episode, Kerry Hinds, founder of Fertile Body Yoga, shares how nervous system regulation, receptivity, and embodied awareness can transform the fertility journey. Drawing from her own experience with pregnancy loss, IVF, and eventual natural conception, Kerry explains how chronic stress, perfectionism, and constant “doing” can keep the body in survival mode — and how slowing down, creating space, and restoring parasympathetic balance can support healing and fertility.Through yoga, breath, and presence, she teaches that surrender is not giving up — it is releasing resistance so the body can return to flow, safety, and receptivity.Key Takeaways:Fertility requires safety, not survival mode. Chronic stress shifts the body away from reproduction.Surrender is not quitting — it’s releasing resistance. You can desire a baby without gripping tightly.Space creates receptivity. When the body softens, healing and conception become possible.Mind, body, and energy are inseparable. Yoga helps regulate the nervous system and restore balance.Perfectionism and people-pleasing increase stress load. Self-care and boundaries are essential.🎁 My Gift to Your Listeners:Free Yoga Class: https://fertilebodyyoga.kit.com/26112c51ffFree 5 Day Fertility Refresh: https://fertilebodyyoga.kit.com/4a37151e2fKerry Hinds Bio:Kerry Hinds is the owner and founder of Fertile Body Yoga, a virtual yoga studio that is dedicated to supporting women navigating their fertility journey - whatever it may look like.

Dr. Aimie Apigian returns to explore how unresolved trauma and chronic survival stress can evolve into fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, digestive issues, and brain fog. This conversation dives into why high-functioning, driven individuals often feel depleted despite appearing “fine,” and how nervous system dysregulation keeps the body stuck in a state of danger.Learn how restoring safety, regulating the nervous system, and repairing biology can reverse chronic symptoms and build true resilience from the inside out.Key Takeaways:Autoimmune symptoms may reflect a nervous system stuck in chronic danger mode.High-achieving, perfectionist personalities are more prone to trauma-driven depletion.Emotional overwhelm can trigger immune activation and brain inflammation.Digestive dysfunction and fatigue often stem from vagus nerve shutdown and metabolic stress.Healing begins with restoring safety and regulating the nervous system before processing trauma.Dr. Aimie Apigian Bio:Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, is a double board-certified physician in Preventive and Addiction Medicine with advanced degrees in Biochemistry and Public Health. She is the founder of The Mind-Body-Biology Institute and creator of The Biology of Trauma®, a pioneering framework that integrates medicine, neuroscience, and somatic therapies to address how trauma is stored in the body—and how to heal it. Inspired by her personal journey as a foster and adoptive mother, Dr. Aimie blends rigorous science with deep compassion to help individuals and practitioners achieve lasting transformation. Her book, The Biology of Trauma, reveals the cellular and emotional roots of fear, pain, and overwhelm, and offers a practical path to true mind-body-biology healing.The Biology of Trauma: Your Issues are Stuck in Your Tissues with Dr. Aimie Apigian 💻 https://youtu.be/DSZaz1QZmcY 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/episode/3xGsDHZk8O9o6nEkLzrcQM?si=EB0DHiT7Q0KMC7-SMv7ocw Where to find Dr. Aimie Apigian:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/draimie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-aimie-apigianYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrAimieApigianWebsite: https://biologyoftrauma.com/Podcast: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/Book: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/book📧 For guest opportunities, collaborations or sponsorship inquiries, please email us at: [email protected] to connect to Lorne Brown online and in person (Vancouver, BC)Acubalance.ca book virtual or in person conscious work sessions with Dr. Lorne BrownLornebrown.comConscious hacks and tools to optimize your fertility by Dr. Lorne Brown:https://acubalance.ca/conscious-work/Connect with Lorne and the podcast on Instagram:@coherence_code_podcast @acubalancewellnesscentre@lorne_brown_officialDISCLAIMER: By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use it as medical advice to treat any medical condition in either yourself or others.

In this follow-up conversation, Dr. Lorne Brown sits down again with Dr. Mark Ratner, Chief Scientific Officer at Theralogix, to revisit the controversy surrounding resveratrol and IVF outcomes.After a 2019 study suggested resveratrol might reduce implantation rates, Dr. Ratner conducted a deep dive into the latest research — including four newer prospective randomized trials and a recent study on pterostilbene.The result? A very different picture.This episode breaks down what the science actually says about egg quality, implantation, miscarriage risk, and live birth outcomes — and whether resveratrol truly poses a risk during IVF.Key Takeaways:The 2019 resveratrol study was retrospective and had significant baseline differences between groups.Four newer prospective randomized trials show no reduction in pregnancy rates with resveratrol.Multiple studies report improvements in egg quality, embryo quality, and fertilization rates.SIRT1 plays a central role in ovarian reserve and uterine receptivity.Pterostilbene, a better-absorbed analog, restored implantation and live birth rates in aging mice.Dr. Mark Ratner’s Bio:Dr. Ratner is a board-certified urologist and the Chief Science Officer of Theralogix, a Washington, DC based company which markets micronutrient supplements with a focus on reproductive health. Dr. Ratner did his undergraduate and graduate studies in nutrition at Cornell University.

NAD⁺ has become a popular topic in fertility and longevity conversations, often surrounded by bold claims and supplement hype. But what does the science actually say—and how does NAD⁺ truly relate to egg quality, ovarian health, and reproductive aging?In this episode, I speak with Dr. Mark Ratner to explore the real role of NAD⁺ in mitochondrial function, cellular energy production, and DNA repair in egg cells. We discuss why NAD⁺ levels decline with age, how inflammation and metabolic stress accelerate that decline, and what current research actually supports when it comes to supplementation. This conversation moves beyond quick fixes, offering an evidence-informed perspective for both people trying to conceive and practitioners seeking clarity amid the noise.Key Takeaways:NAD⁺ is essential for cellular energy production and DNA repair in egg cellsFertility decline with age reflects reduced cellular function, not only egg countChronic inflammation and metabolic stress accelerate NAD⁺ depletionRaising NAD⁺ levels does not automatically restore cellular healthEffective fertility support requires lifestyle, metabolic, and inflammatory care—not supplements aloneDr. Mark Ratner’s Bio:Dr. Ratner is a board-certified urologist and the Chief Science Officer of Theralogix, a Washington, DC based company which markets micronutrient supplements with a focus on reproductive health.
