In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown welcomes back world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Newberg to explore the fascinating link between sexuality, spirituality, and brain function. Dr. Newberg shares insights from his latest book, Sex, God, and the Brain, revealing how rituals, intimacy, and even orgasmic meditation can profoundly impact our consciousness, emotional well-being, and even fertility. 

Discover how the brain processes spiritual and sexual experiences in strikingly similar ways and how this knowledge can enhance your overall health and relationships. 

Key takeaways:

• Sexuality and spirituality share deep neurological and evolutionary roots. Many spiritual rituals evolved from ancient mating rituals.
• Orgasmic meditation offers unique brain benefits. Studies show it can enhance connection, lower stress, and even mimic deep meditative states.
• Oxytocin plays a crucial role in bonding and monogamy. This ‘love hormone’ strengthens relationships and emotional connection.
• Spiritual and sexual experiences influence the immune system. Both reduce stress hormones like cortisol and promote overall well-being.

Dr. Andrew Newberg is the Director of Research at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health and a physician at Jefferson University Hospital, specializing in internal and nuclear medicine. He studies the relationship between brain function and spirituality, focusing on how mental states such as prayer and meditation impact health.

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.

In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown sits down with Craig Goldberg, certified Vibroacoustic Therapy practitioner and co-founder of InHarmony, to explore the science and soul of sound healing.

Craig shares how sound and vibration can shift the nervous system from a state of stress to one of deep relaxation, helping to regulate brainwaves, reduce anxiety, and promote overall well-being. He explains how his vibroacoustic technology works as an “adaptogenic” tool, supporting each user’s unique needs—whether it’s for stress relief, better sleep, or enhanced mental clarity.

At Acubalance Wellness Centre, we love Craig’s technology so much that we’ve integrated InHarmony sound tables into our clinical practice. Dr. Lorne Brown personally stays late or comes in early to treat himself to a session—these sound tables have become an essential part of how he, the Acubalance team, and our patients care for the nervous system.

Tune in to learn how vibroacoustic therapy is not just relaxing—it’s a powerful, science-backed tool for healing and transformation.

Key takeaways:

• Vibrational therapy helps regulate the nervous system, moving individuals from stress to relaxation.
• Sound and vibration can provide deep relaxation, resetting the body’s priorities from survival mode to maintenance mode.
• Craig's technology uses frequencies that are adaptogenic.
• Sound healing through Vibro Acoustic Therapy is proven to help with sleep, stress, and anxiety, while supporting the body’s healing processes.
• The experience is immersive, engaging multiple senses and creating a calming environment for both the mind and body.

Craig Goldberg Bio: 

Craig Goldberg is a Technologist and Relaxation Expert dedicated to enhancing well-being through sound and vibration therapy. With a background in Business Communication and Psychology from Baruch College, Craig combines his education and passion for wellness to make a significant impact. As a Certified Vibroacoustic Therapy Practitioner, he studies the effects of sound, music, and vibration on the body to reduce stress, improve health, and transform lives. Originally from New York and now based in Las Vegas, Craig travels globally to teach The Science of Mindfulness and Vibroacoustic Therapy, helping individuals shift from stress to relaxation.

In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Lorne Brown welcomes Rosanne Austin, a former California state prosecutor turned fertility mindset coach. Rosanne shares her incredible journey of overcoming a seven-year fertility struggle and naturally conceiving at 44. She reveals how shifting her mindset transformed not only her fertility but her entire life. 

Rosanne dives deep into the importance of belief, the power of surrender, and how breaking free from fear and self-doubt can open the door to unexpected miracles. This conversation will inspire you to take control of your fertility journey, trust in your body's wisdom, and manifest success in ways you never imagined.

Key takeaways:

• Mindset is the game-changer: You can’t out-supplement, out-diet, or out-yoga a limiting belief system.
• Statistics are not a verdict: Many women have conceived despite "less than 1% chances."
• Stress matters: Your thoughts and emotions impact your fertility more than you realize.
• Live fully now: Stop putting life on hold—joy and presence create the best conditions for conception.
• Believe you are worthy: Self-doubt sabotages success; confidence and trust in yourself are essential.

She is the coach of physicians struggling with their own fertility trust and women around the world turn to when they want to be 100% sure they’ve got their bases covered— mind and body. Rosanne overcame her own 7 year struggle with fertility and had her son naturally at almost 44, when traditional medicine had given up on her. She helps women get and stay pregnant by teaching them to think, believe, and take action like a fertility success. Supported by her books, podcast, online courses, and retreats, Rosanne’s clients become the Mom they were meant to be.
