On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Lorne Brown (@lorne_brown_official), a leading expert in integrative reproductive health and the founder of Acubalance Wellness Centre. We explore the groundbreaking potential of low-level laser therapy (LLLT),  also known as photobiomodulation, and how it can support fertility, egg and sperm quality, and overall reproductive health.

Dr. Brown breaks down the science behind this innovative, non-invasive therapy, revealing how light can stimulate mitochondrial function, regulate inflammation, improve blood flow, and even support the nervous system. We also dive into the fascinating history of how this therapy was discovered for fertility by accident, the results of clinical research, and why dosage, wavelength, and placement matter when using this technology. Whether you're navigating IVF, struggling with unexplained infertility, or looking for additional support on your path to conception, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

Key Takeaways:

• Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation enhances mitochondrial function, which is key to egg and embryo quality.

• The therapy can improve blood flow, regulate inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and support nutrient absorption at the cellular level.

• It also helps balance the autonomic nervous system, shifting the body into parasympathetic mode to support reproductive health.

• Dr. Brown shares clinical data showing improved blastocyst rates and live births using LLLT before IVF transfers.

• Not all laser systems are created equal—dosage, wavelength, and delivery matter for therapeutic benefit.
