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

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.

| 10 Jan 2023 | 20: Leave No Stone Unturned: Fertility Functional Medicine Testing with Dr. Kali MacIsaac ND | 00:52:17 | |||||
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."

| 18 Jul 2023 | 43: Connecting to your Authentic Self and Integrated Intelligence with Dr. Marcus Anthony | 00:52:53 | |||||
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.

| 22 Nov 2022 | 14: How to Unblock Stuck Energy with Dr. Yvonne Farrell | 00:54:50 | |||||
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]

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.
