In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Marcus Anthony speaks about his research on integrated intelligence, which is the idea that human consciousness is embedded within layers of intelligence that transcend the local mind. He explains that this form of intelligence involves the synchronization of the mind through mirror neurons, connecting us to each other, the environment, and spiritual realms. Dr. Anthony describes how this connection can be accessed through non-ordinary states of consciousness, such as dreams and meditative states, and can potentially change the way we think about intelligence. Dr. Anthony explains the concept of psychoneuroimmunology, which is the idea that one's thoughts and feelings can impact their nervous, hormonal and immune systems. He shares examples of how this can manifest in fertility and pregnancy, and how integrated intelligence can be used to positively impact these areas. The discussion explores the idea of knowledge, intuition, and synchronicity as part of an integrated intelligence, and the potential power and limitations of these concepts in understanding oneself and the world. Dr. Anthony shares a personal experience of how synchronicity had helped him to understand a difficult relationship with his mother, and suggests that it can be a powerful tool, though it should not be relied upon as the primary source of understanding. The conversation delves into the idea of integrated intelligence as a form of enhanced intelligence that connects us to realms of understanding that are difficult to access through traditional means. It explores the practical applications of this concept in areas like fertility and pregnancy, as well as its potential to change the way we think about intelligence and our relationship with the world around us.

In this episode, Dr. Lorne Brown welcomes Sandro Graca, a lecturer and researcher in reproductive health. They discuss polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which is a common condition affecting women's reproductive health. Sandro explains that PCOS is a metabolic disorder, which can cause long or absent menstrual cycles and the presence of multifollicular or cysts in one or multiple ovaries. It is characterized by hyperandrogenism or excess androgens in the body. One of the main misconceptions about PCOS is the presence of cysts on the ovaries. Sandro clarifies that although cysts can be present, the diagnosis of PCOS is made based on other criteria such as hormonal imbalance and clinical symptoms. The diagnosis of PCOS usually requires a physical exam and blood tests that can help provide a better understanding of the condition. The conversation also touches on the emotional and psychological aspects of PCOS. Treatment for this disease usually involves lifestyle changes such as exercise, diet, and stress management. Medications, supplements and acupuncture are sometimes used to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of developing other health conditions. Sandro emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for PCOS, and it is essential to work with a healthcare provider who can customize a treatment plan based on individual needs. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of PCOS, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Dr. Brown and Sandro Graca offer valuable insights into this common condition, which affects millions of women worldwide. Their conversation is informative and accessible, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to learn more about PCOS. Key Topics ● What is PCOS and how is it diagnosed? ● Symptoms of PCOS and their impact on emotional and mental health. ● Health risks associated with PCOS and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. ● Lifestyle changes that can help manage PCOS, including diet, exercise, and stress management. ● Medical treatments for PCOS, including medications and supplements to manage symptoms and reduce risk of developing other health conditions. ● The controversy around insulin resistance and its contribution to the metabolic aspect of PCOS. ● The role of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture in managing PCOS symptoms.

Dr. Berceli shares his insights on how stress can impact the body, and how this is especially relevant for those struggling with infertility.

This loss of safety and connection is particularly relevant for individuals trying to grow their families, as the stress of infertility can be comparable to that experienced by those with a terminal illness or cancer. Dr. Berceli emphasizes the importance of releasing stress stored in our bodies to mitigate the effects on our well-being and fertility. He also discusses the science behind how chronic stress gets trapped in the body and impacts health, including the hypothalamus pituitary ovarian axis.
