Fertility and the Power of the Mind: Dr Alice Domar on the science and emotion of the mind–body connection


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr Alice Domar, Harvard psychologist and pioneer in mind–body fertility, joins us to explore how stress, mindset, and compassion shape reproductive health. We discuss the evidence, the emotions, and the everyday tools that can help you feel more in control, hopeful, and connected on your fertility journey.

Alice D. Domar, PhD is a pioneer in the application of mind-body medicine to various health conditions. Her research focuses on creating innovative programs to help decrease physical and psychological symptoms associated with stress.

She is the Chief Compassion Officer and Director of Research at Inception, the largest network of infertility clinics in North America, a senior psychologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre, and an associate professor in obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, part-time, at Harvard Medical School. She is a practicing psychologist, specializing in cognitive-behaviour therapy with individuals and couples. 

Dr Domar has appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Dateline NBC, CNN, PBS, and the CBS and NBC Evening News, to name a few. She went on tour with Oprah in the spring of 2004 and 2005 with the LLuminari team. She is the best-selling author of eight books, including the recently revised Conquering Infertility, and the author/coauthor of dozens of peer-reviewed scientific publications.
