In this episode, Dr. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, explores the science behind consciousness and its role in shaping our reality. Once dismissed by mainstream psychology, consciousness is now being rigorously studied to understand how practices like manifestation, meditation, and spontaneous healing might influence the physical world. 

Radin offers scientific insight into these phenomena, highlighting the mystery and complexity behind our conscious experience.

Key Takeaways:

• Consciousness is real and impactful – Once questioned, it's now accepted as a fundamental part of human experience.
• Science meets the mystical – Practices like manifesting and affirmations may have measurable effects.
• Non-locality exists – Reality may be influenced by factors beyond time and space.
• Healing through consciousness – Compassion, self-awareness, and intention can lead to real biological changes.
• We still don’t have all the answers – But the exploration of consciousness is gaining serious scientific momentum.

Dr. Dean Radin’s  Bio:

Dean Radin is Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), Associated Distinguished Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and chairman of the biotech company, Cognigenics. He has given over 670 talks and interviews worldwide, and he is the author or coauthor of some 300 scientific and popular articles, four dozen book chapters, and nine books, four of which have been translated into 15 foreign languages: The Conscious Universe (1997, HarperCollins), Entangled Minds (2006, Simon & Schuster), Supernormal (2013, RandomHouse), and Real Magic (2018, PenguinRandomHouse).

In this deeply moving episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Lorne Brown welcomes author Philip Weber to discuss his spontaneous awakening, which he calls “The Kiss of Grace.”

Philip shares how a life rooted in material success, status, and striving gave way to a profound inner transformation that shed his separate self-identity and redefined his purpose in life.

Through personal stories, mysticism, and grounded service like hospice work, Philip shows us that awakening isn’t reserved for saints – it’s a natural remembrance available to us all.

Key Takeaways:

- Self-realization is a shift in perception—from separation to unity consciousness.

- Awakening often comes not through effort, but through surrender and ripeness.

- Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a resistance to what is—and that can be let go.

- True service flows naturally from awakening; it’s less about achievement and more about love.

- We don't become enlightened; we remember what we've always been.

Philip Weber’s Bio:

Philip Weber had a successful 35-year career as an executive in the hospitality industry. A member of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Self-Realization Fellowship since 1999, Phil is known for his highly ecumenical outlook, holding a deep appreciation for many of the world’s spiritual traditions and teachings, and often affirming his Guru’s adage: “Truth is one, paths are many.”

Currently retired and residing in Carlsbad, California, Phil prefers a quiet, contemplative life. He is not a spiritual teacher and has no online or social media presence. For Phil’s book announcements, please go to his editor’s website.

In this profound episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown welcomes Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone—Jungian psychotherapist, author, and spiritual leader—to explore the powerful and often unseen forces of intergenerational trauma. 

Drawing from her acclaimed book Wounds into Wisdom, Rabbi Tirzah shares how trauma is more than just events—it is energetic and physiological imprints passed through generations. She unpacks the science of epigenetics, the importance of ancestral awareness, and how true healing is possible through compassionate consciousness and sacred practices.

Key takeaways:

• Can we inherit trauma from events we didn’t live through?
• How does ancestral or collective trauma affect fertility, health, and relationships?
• Practical and spiritual approaches to healing intergenerational wounds.
• Rabbi Firestone’s personal story and what inspired Wounds into Wisdom.
• Connecting with ancestral wisdom—through imagination or ritual—can catalyze transformation.

Tirzah Firestone’s Bio: 

Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, PhD, is a renowned psychotherapist, author, and Jewish scholar known for her pioneering work in Kabbalah, depth psychology, and intergenerational trauma healing. Her award-winning book Wounds into Wisdom integrates neuroscience, psychology, and ancestral wisdom to help transform inherited trauma into strength and compassion. Rabbi Firestone teaches internationally, guiding individuals and communities through spiritual practices rooted in ancient traditions. Her teachings emphasize the power of awareness, resilience, and sacred connection in times of personal and collective challenge. She lives with her husband in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

In this deeply moving episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Paul Dieppe shares his remarkable journey from conventional medicine into the world of healing, consciousness, and spiritual care. 

A respected academic and rheumatologist, Dr. Dieppe recounts transformative experiences—including surviving as a hostage and spontaneous healing—that reshaped his understanding of what it truly means to heal. We explore how love, compassion, and presence may be the most potent medicines of all.

Key takeaways:

• Healing is more than curing physical symptoms—it's about integration of mind, body, and spirit.
• Conscious intention, compassion, and caring presence can activate the body’s innate healing capacity.
• Near-death and noetic experiences challenged and redefined Paul’s materialist worldview.
• Western medicine and alternative healing are not enemies—they’re complementary tools.
• Love, not logic, is often the driving force behind true healing.

Dr. Paul Dieppe’s Bio: 

Dr. Paul Dieppe is a globally recognized expert in osteoarthritis and a recipient of prestigious honors, including the NIHR Senior Investigator award, the Osteoarthritis Research Society's Lifetime Achievement Award, and Master of the American College of Rheumatology. With a distinguished career in rheumatology and health services research, he has held major academic and leadership roles, including Dean of Medicine at the University of Bristol and Director of the UK Medical Research Council’s Health Services Research Collaboration. Since 2009, he has been an emeritus professor at the University of Exeter, focusing on healing, placebo effects, and patient-centered care, while continuing osteoarthritis research. He has trained numerous future leaders in the field and remains active in teaching and international speaking.

Healing ourselves starts from within. And when we tap into our consciousness, we can heal ourselves in ways that rival traditional medical practice.  

Today’s guest is Dr. Shamini Jain, a scientist, psychologist, author, and teacher of healing and integrative medicine. She’ll teach us how the mind, body, emotion, social, interpersonal, and even environmental connections that we have as human beings are incredibly powerful in fostering healing. 

She shares her research and clinical studies about how moving energy through the body with practices like breathwork, meditation, tai chi, and yoga can reduce inflammation and stress, and help us find wholeness within ourselves.  

There’s actually not a big divide between science and spirituality, and with the help of Dr. Shamini’s research, we’re moving closer to being able to measure actual positive outcomes from committing to conscious work.    

Key Topics/Takeaways: 

• Emotions can affect our physical health [3:03] 
• Calming the sympathetic nervous system to reduce inflammation and stress [8:34] 
• Surrendering as a path to healing [12:26] 
• Skepticism and cognitive dissonance in spiritual and scientific studies [15:08] 
• Enhancing our mind-body-energy connection through conscious healing [24:09] 
• Exploring the biofield in cells and the body [28:03] 
• Placebo effect misconceptions [36:48] 
• Episode summary [51:31]

In this transformative episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Lorne Brown welcomes Eli Recht—a psychotherapist, EMDR clinician, and teacher of self-realization—for a heartfelt and grounded conversation on spiritual awakening and the path to inner peace.

 Eli shares his personal journey from anxiety and depression to a sustained state of presence, and offers insight into how releasing trapped emotional energy can lead to profound healing, peace, and purpose. This is an episode for anyone on the path to healing—whether or not fertility is the goal.

Key Takeaways:

• Awakening is not about adding something new—it’s about removing what's in the way of recognizing your true nature.
• Releasing trapped emotions is essential for dissolving ego-based suffering and accessing peace.
• The ego is not the enemy—it’s a tool that becomes helpful once it no longer runs the show.
• True healing often requires both "top-down" (mind) and "bottom-up" (body) approaches.
• Peace, purpose, and presence are available when we learn to stop identifying with our suffering.

Eli Recht’s  Bio:

Eli Recht is a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT), EMDR clinician, spiritual counselor, and teacher of Self-realization based in Carlsbad, California. After a profound awakening in 2020, Eli dedicated his life to helping others alleviate suffering, find inner peace, and reconnect with their true nature. He blends modern psychology with spiritual wisdom to support healing, transformation, and conscious living. Eli offers psychotherapy as his professional practice, while his teachings on self-realization and consciousness are donation-based.

In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown welcomes Dr. Lora Shahine, a reproductive endocrinologist, author, and advocate for integrated fertility care. They explore recurrent pregnancy loss, male fertility, age-related factors, mind-body medicine, sperm quality, IVF strategy, and nutrition. 

With compassion and clarity, Dr. Shahine offers practical, evidence-informed insights while advocating for a holistic and individualized approach to fertility and wellness. She reminds us that real healing comes from knowledge, support, and letting go of blame.

Key Takeaways:

• Recurrent miscarriage is often linked to embryo genetics—and sperm plays a larger role than many realize.
• Not all IVF protocols are created equal: age, egg quality, and uterine receptivity must be individualized.
• Mind-body tools, stress regulation, and emotional support are essential to whole-person fertility care.
• Nutrition matters—but shame-based, restrictive advice does more harm than good.
• Key supplements like CoQ10, vitamin D, and a good prenatal can support egg and sperm health.

Dr. Lora Shahine’s  Bio:

Dr. Lora Shahine is a reproductive endocrinologist, author, speaker, and educator dedicated to breaking the stigma around infertility and miscarriage. She’s a partner at Pacific NW Fertility, teaches at the University of Washington, and shares evidence-based fertility insights with a global audience through her books, social media, and podcast. With a background in OBGYN and fellowship training at Stanford, she blends cutting-edge science with compassionate care to support patients in building their families.

In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Lorne Brown speaks with Dr. Jeffrey Rutstein, a clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience, about trauma and its deep connection to the nervous system. They explore how trauma impacts our mental, emotional, and physical health, with a focus on the importance of nervous system regulation for healing and fertility. 

Dr. Rutstein shares practical tools and techniques, like breathwork and self-regulation methods, to help individuals manage dysregulated nervous systems and cultivate a sense of peace and resilience in their daily lives. They also discuss generational trauma, the body’s capacity for healing, and how small shifts in awareness can have a profound impact on one’s well-being and fertility journey.

Key takeaways:

• Trauma impacts the nervous system: Even low-level traumas can disrupt emotional and physical health.
• Nervous system dysregulation: Chronic stress affects immune function, emotions, and overall well-being.
• Self-regulation techniques: Practices like deep breathing and self-hugs can help restore balance.
• Co-regulation: Connection with others or pets can aid emotional healing.
