The Coherence Code Podcast
Lorne Brown
I’m Dr. Lorne Brown, a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and for decades I’ve worked with the body, the nervous system, and the deeper patterns that shape healing. Through my clinical work, I’ve seen that lasting change doesn’t come from forcing outcomes, but from removing interference and restoring coherence.
The Coherence Code Podcast is my space to explore that truth — through conversations with clinicians, researchers, patients, and thought leaders across medicine, consciousness, and human transformation.
This podcast exists because coherent systems heal, and understanding coherence can change how you relate to your body, your mind, and your life.

38: Transforming Trapped Emotions: How to Release Stress and Trauma with Dr. David Berceli
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
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.
