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.

• Emotions can affect our physical health [3:03] 
• Calming the sympathetic nervous system to reduce inflammation and stress [8:34]

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.

Key takeaways:

• Trauma impacts the nervous system: Even low-level traumas can disrupt emotional and physical health.

• 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.

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 Bio:

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.

With over 250 peer-reviewed publications and 14 books translated into 17 languages, Dr. Newberg is recognized as one of the 30 Most Influential Neuroscientists Alive Today. He has appeared on platforms like Dr. Oz and CNN, and his work has been featured in major publications such as Newsweek and National Geographic.
