The Coherence Code Podcast

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 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!

If you're struggling to get pregnant, you may feel like you've tried everything and are running out of options. But have you considered doing a deeper dive into looking for the underlying causes of your infertility? In this episode, Lorne speaks with Acubalance's clinical director of naturopathic medicine, Dr. Kali MacIsaac ND, about the importance of functional medicine fertility testing. Naturopathic doctors like Dr. MacIsaac don't just look for results within the "normal" range – they aim for optimal or functional ranges that give you the best chance of success. As she puts it, "Would you rather be in the bottom 10% percentile or the top 10% percentile? When it comes to fertility and creating a healthy baby, we want you to be in the top percentile of ranges for most tests." Dr. MacIsaac will explain how comprehensive naturopathic fertility testing looks beyond just the surface-level symptoms of infertility and digs deeper to identify the root causes. By leaving no stone unturned, you can take targeted action to improve your fertility and increase your chances of success. Dr. MacIsaac will also share how simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference in fertility, and why adding functional medicine testing to your conventional fertility workup can be beneficial. "Starting a family is a dream for many, and it's understandable to feel discouraged if you're having trouble getting pregnant. With functional medicine fertility testing, you can take a proactive approach to understanding your current fertility status and identify any underlying issues that may be impacting your ability to get pregnant. Don't let your dreams of parenthood slip away – take control and pursue them with confidence."

For decades, scientists have been trying to explain and observe consciousness in all forms. Previously denied by psychologists, it has now become a question of “why” rather than “if” we have it. Meet Dean Radin, MS, PhD, the Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), who has researched, written books, and spoken internationally about how consciousness is a fundamental part of the human experience. His research shows that it plays a much larger role in our understanding of the world more than previously thought. While philosophers might say that consciousness “just is”, scientists like Radin are looking for tangible answers to why things like affirmations, manifesting, and spontaneous healing might be very real for some people. Radin doesn’t have all the answers yet, but he offers a fascinating perspective on how our manifestations, meditations, and other conscious practices might be having a real impact on our physical world.

People find healing in different ways. It’s more than just a physical process, and science is beginning to back this up. John G. Kruth is one of the scientists who has dedicated his life to trying to explain the unexplainable. When people claim to be clairvoyant, psychic, telepathic or have any other abilities that can’t be easily explained with science, John and his research team are there to study it. In this episode, John teaches us how he and his team test different parapsychological phenomena that aren’t easily explainable by current scientific studies. He makes the connection between bioenergy and consciousness to help explain why our thoughts might create our reality more than previously believed. Based on his research, it seems that it is, in fact, possible to jump the timeline and create healing for ourselves in ways that would normally be considered impossible, or even miraculous. Key Topics/Takeaways: - The different types of healing [2:12] - The 5 phenomena of parapsychology [5:49] - Being open-minded about people’s experiences [11:23] - Studying the human biofield [13:41] - Testing healing with light [21:08] - How we unconsciously block healing [26:59] - Defining consciousness vs. Consciousness [35:32] - Miraculous healing [43:04] - Quantum healing and biological upgrades [46:40] Where To Find John: https://www.rhine.org/ John G. Kruth is the Executive Director of the Rhine Research Center and the founder of the Rhine Education Center. He has been studying parapsychology informally for over 35 years and has been a formal member of the Rhine research team since 2009. His research has included studies related to energetic healing methods, bioenergy signatures, out-of-body experiences, qualitative case studies, mind-matter interaction, and poltergeist phenomena.

What does it mean to be fertile? When we look at it from the perspective of Chinese medicine, it’s more than just the ability to create a human life. Fertility is creativity, ideas, art, creation, and more. When we have unresolved emotions or traumas, our creative energy can become blocked, unable to move forward with the natural flow of life. This week, I’m speaking with Dr. Yvonne Farrell, a Chinese medicine expert, acupuncturist, author, and international speaker, to teach us how becoming just a little more conscious in our everyday life opens us up to thriving instead of just surviving. She shares how she uses acupuncture in her practice to help people move blocked energy and emotions through the body to find healing and realign their minds, bodies, and spirits. When we become just a little more conscious, heal trauma, and simply breathe, we open the door to the possibility of healing and allowing creative flow back into our lives. Key Topics/Takeaways: -The connection between fertility, creativity, and consciousness [1:51] -How we experience trauma differently [8:32] -Surviving is not thriving [16:28] -Acupuncture as a way to move energy through the body [25:15] -How you manage your heart, spirit, and emotions [28:00] -How our emotions are our # 1 cause of the disease process [32:00] -Opening the door to the possibility of change [36:53] -How to unblock stuck energy [43:10] -Getting your mind in a receptive place for change [49:28] -Your mindset determines your healing journey [45:15] Where To Find Yvonne: https://healthyseminars.com/bio/yvonne-farrell Buy Yvonne’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Psycho-Emotional-Pain-Eight-Extraordinary-Vessels/dp/1848192924 https://www.amazon.com/Acupuncture-Surviving-Adversity-Acts-Self-preservation/dp/1787753840 Dr. Farrell has been practicing and teaching Chinese Medicine and Channel Theory since 1996. She directs her teaching towards the empowerment of students with the hope that they will embody the spiritual aspects of Chinese Medicine and make them their own. Dr. Farrell believes that self-cultivation, self-knowledge and critical thinking are essential in developing capacity as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine. To that end, she teaches dynamic, informative and thought-provoking live CEU courses and webinars through LA Herbs and Acupuncture and Healthy Seminars. Yvonne earned her doctoral degree in 2007. Her first book, "Psycho-Emotional Pain and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels" was published by Singing Dragon in 2016.

What if you could tap away your stress, trauma, and even fix bad habits? Dr. Peta Stapleton has over 25 years of experience as a registered clinical and health psychologist, where she has studied EFT tapping as a way to heal PTSD and trauma. EFT stands for the Emotional Freedom Technique, which stimulates known acupuncture points all over the body while focusing the mind on a feeling, emotion, or belief system to initate emotional healing. Today, Peta will talk about how effective this practice has been for her patients, and some of the fascinating clinical studies she has been a part of that have shown healing emotionally, physically, and even changes in our gene expressions for fertility and disease.

This week, I’m pleased to be talking with my own consciousness teacher, Gila Golub, who helped me with my wake-up call back in 2014 and her teachings have influenced my conscious work practice that I offer in my clinical practice. Gila was drawn to consciousness work when she realized she was replicating old childhood wounds in her present life and relationships. After years of working with other teachers, she learned a lot about herself and how her early childhood experiences molded her perceptions of the world and was able to heal. Now, people seek her out for guidance after their own wake-up calls for change. In this episode, we’ll discuss the common wake-up calls people experience that pushes them to seek healing and consciousness work. We talk about the difference between a behaviorist and developmentalist upbringing, and how that has shaped us over generations. Gila opens up about some of her own experiences coaching herself through abandonment wounds and helping others learn to shift their perception of reality to find self-love. She has even been able to help women with their fertility issues through her teachings. When you transform your limiting beliefs, you can understand that you deserve perfect health, effortless abundance, and loving relationships. And that includes your fertility journey.

Lucid dreaming is one of life’s mysteries that we have slowly been unraveling over the past several decades. It wasn’t until the 1980’s that we had scientific evidence that it was even possible, despite people having this ability for as long as humans have been around. Now, we’re able to point to lucid dreaming as a way to not only access the subconscious mind, but bring it into the conscious, and even change our waking reality. Robert Waggoner has been lucid dreaming since before there was evidence of it. In his book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, he writes about how lucid dreaming can be another gateway to tap into consciousness and find peace of mind. In this episode, he talks about how lucid dreaming can be used for creativity, physical and mental healing, learning ourselves more deeply, and even manifesting our deepest desires. He explains how this could be applied to the fertility journey as a way to improve our physical and mental health and do inner healing that can be reflected into our outer world. If you’ve ever been curious about lucid dreaming or want to try it yourself, hearing Robert’s experiences and guidance in this episode is the perfect place to start. Key Topics/Takeaways: Robert’s introduction to lucid dreaming as a child [1:50] Why lucid dreaming isn’t just for entertainment [6:23] The awareness behind the dream [13:05] Dreams as a communication pathway with your unborn child [19:25] Surrendering to lucid dreams [23:47] How Robert’s view of the world has changed since lucid dreaming [28:42] Manifesting physical healing in dreams [31:28] Preparing yourself for lucid dreaming [37:01] Speaking to your unconscious mind [39:33] Manifesting your desires with neutral beliefs [43:59] About Robert Waggoner: Robert Waggoner wrote the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming – Gateway to the Inner Self, and co-authored Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple with Caroline McCready.A past President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD), Waggoner serves as co-editor of the online magazine, The Lucid Dreaming Experience, the only ongoing publication devoted specifically to lucid dreaming. A lucid dreamer since 1975, he has logged more than 1,000 lucid dreams.

When it comes to the fertility journey, it’s more like a marathon than a sprint. And just like a marathon requires weeks and months of training to run a good race, creating healthy embryos requires preconception training, too. Our goal is not just for you to start the race but to cross the fertility finish line with a baby in your arms. With patience, testing, and the right treatments, you can greatly increase your chances of having a healthy baby. In this episode, I get more technical with Dr. Beth Taylor from Olive Fertility Centre to talk about the different fertility tests and screenings IVF clinics can provide to assess the quality of your embryos as well as your uterine receptivity (any risk of implantation failure) in order to increase the chances of positive pregnancy and live birth. IVF treatments have come a long way in the past couple of decades, and it’s important that we educate those on the fertility journey about everything we can offer to give them the best chance of a positive outcome. We know you want the best for your family and to be made aware of the testing and treatments available to you, so please join us to learn about your options and why preimplantation genetic testing and uterine biopsies might be a choice for you to help grow your family. Key Topics/Takeaways: Nourishing the “seed and the soil” [2:55] Using PGT-A testing to increase implantation odds [9:56] The mosaic embryo dilemma [17:00] How self-correction in Chinese medicine applies to IVF [19:44] Creating healthy embryos is a marathon, not a sprint [22:48] Testing uterine receptivity [27:17] The importance of the uterine microbiome [37:31] Keeping your embryos safe during testing [50:01] Dr. Taylor is an infertility specialist.

What if you could tap into the power of your entire brain to experience true peace and the present moment? This is the exact phenomenon that Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has been studying since she experienced a stroke in 1996 that changed her whole perception of reality. In this episode, we explore the idea that our brains have 4 characters that serve different essential functions to make up who we are and how we experience the world. We discuss each character, how to tap into different parts of our minds, and how we can use this in the fertility journey and parenting. Dr. Taylor’s experience changed everything she knows about the brain and our human consciousness. It’s an honor to get to bring her on the podcast to share her experience, discuss her incredible knowledge of the brain, and understand better how we can use this in the conscious fertility journey.
