The Coherence Code Podcast

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.  Key Topics/Takeaways: - The world we don’t see outside of our senses [3:36] - Finding the language of consciousness [6:00] - ”The Hard Problem” of conscious studies  [10:01] - There are many things that do not have a good explanation for and that are real [15:09]  - The science behind manifesting [16:38] - Non-locality in the physical world [23:24] - Do “magical methods” work?

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.

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. By tapping into the present moment and truly accept what is, you can activate a state of calm and ease that brings healing to every aspect of your life.    Key Topics/Takeaways: -What is EFT? [1:35] -PTSD, fertility trauma, and the efficacy of EFT [4:53] -Talk therapy vs. Somatic therapy  [12:20] -How our brains change when tapping to reduce stress [17:19] -Accepting the things we’re avoiding in order to heal [24:38] -How tapping helps us remember [35:37] -Improving vagal nerve tone and chronic pain through emotional healing [39:39] -The Apex Effect that interrupts the story we have around bad habits or cravings [51:05] -EFT studies on trauma in women’s health, pregnancy, and childbirth [57:04]   Where To Find Dr. Peta Stapleton: Instagram: @petastapleton Twitter: @petastapleton Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drpetastapleton/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrPetaStapleton Website: https://www.petastapleton.com/   Training Materials on: https://www.evidencebasedeft.com/   Buy The Science Behind Tappinig Book Here: https://www.amazon.com/Science-behind-Tapping-Management-Technique/dp/1401955738?mc_cid=80b2b02aa6&mc_eid=%5BUNIQID%5D Dr Peta Stapleton has 27 years experience as a registered Clinical & Health Psychologist in Queensland, Australia and is currently an Associate Professor in Psychology at Bond University.
