one of Mom radio.

22
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.400
Thank you for having me, Dori. It's great to be here.

23
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.400
It is my pleasure and I would love for you

24
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.959
to take us on your journey that led you through

25
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.239
macropathic medicine to becoming a futility alchemist.

26
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.920
Yeah. So I started with really honestly, like the journey

27
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.560
started when I was like four years old and my

28
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.120
parents were convinced that I was going to be a doctor, right,

29
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.640
and that is one of of three things that I

30
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.640
had the option to be. It's doctor, engineer, or lawyer.

31
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.960
And for me they had already pre selected doctor. So

32
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.400
the funny part of that story, though, is that I

33
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.919
never went to the doctor's office because my father thought

34
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.479
he was a doctor. He was not, but he wanted

35
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.919
to be, and he self studied a lot of irtic

36
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.560
medicine homeopathy, so every time we got sick, he would

37
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:39.639
give us home remedies and that was the start. I

38
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.879
went to undergrad I hated all of it. I was like,

39
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.759
I don't understand how we can disconnect the body and

40
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.599
the mind and the spirit. So I like triple majored

41
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:58.479
in religious studies, science, biology, and psychology, and at the

42
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.039
end of that I was like, I can't imagine going

43
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.080
to medical school and all of my professors were like,

44
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.719
you're a hippie, just moved to California. And eventually I

45
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.000
did move to California, but not then. And a month

46
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.319
before graduating from undergrad I got a pamphlet from a

47
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.639
naturopathic medical school and the cover said body Mind Spirit,

48
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.039
and like, I barely even opened the pamphlet because I

49
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.919
was like, body mind Spirit, That's what I've been saying

50
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.199
for so long. I was like, look, it's a medical school.

51
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.800
And instantly I was like, this is it. This is

52
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.199
where I'm doing with my life. And my parents were like, no,

53
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.159
we met to be a real doctor, not this. I

54
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.599
was like, what do you mean? This is what you've

55
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.360
given me as medicine my entire life. Like now you

56
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.639
think this is not real medicine. I'm very confused. So

57
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.800
I had already made the decision. No one was going

58
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:04.520
to me out of it. So I went to medical school, graduated,

59
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.240
was practicing for about five years with kind of a

60
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:13.800
general medicine type of practice, just supporting people with whatever,

61
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:19.959
and found myself married to this man who wanted to

62
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.279
have babies, and literally every time he talked about it,

63
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.959
my uterus was screaming no, and I was like, oh boy,

64
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.199
I might have married the wrong person, or maybe I

65
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.519
don't want children. So I went into this kind of

66
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.240
tailspin of trying to figure out what I was doing,

67
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.959
because if I wanted to have children, what I had

68
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.000
learned in medical school was that our fertility drops off

69
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.319
of a cliff at thirty five. And that was essentially

70
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.720
what was running in the back of my head was

71
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.959
I'm going to run out of time, like if I

72
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.600
don't want if I want a child but not with him,

73
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.000
I'm going to run out of time. I don't see

74
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:08.480
how it's possible. So I was very grateful to my

75
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:14.000
like research oriented brain that was like is this true?

76
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.399
Like I was just asking the question, is this actually true?

77
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.160
Because if it is, then I'm screwed. And what I

78
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.800
found was that the idea that our fertility even drops

79
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.120
off of a cliff comes from eighteen hundreds in France

80
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.839
where women were not bringing their children in to get

81
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.680
baptized in churches, and they have records of that. So

82
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.439
the conclusion that they had made was, oh, fertility drops

83
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.000
off a cliff because women don't bring their children in

84
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.240
to get baptized. So me being who I am, I

85
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.079
was like, something sounds funny about that, Like what was

86
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.959
life expectancy for women in the eighteen hundreds in France?

87
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.959
And the life expectancy is so thy two point eight,

88
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.839
So women were literally dying. So many of them were

89
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:11.360
dying in childbirth in their early thirties, so of course

90
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.800
they weren't bringing their children in to get baptized. So

91
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.800
this idea. As soon as I found that, I was like, okay, well,

92
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.680
so then if that's not true, what is true? And

93
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.199
I just kind of dove into the fertility world decided

94
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.120
I could figure this out and could like preserve my

95
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.720
fertility till I was ready with the right person, had

96
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.680
a divorce, went into like back into the dating world,

97
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.959
and found the person eventually had a child. But all

98
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:54.839
of that was initiated by this like body wisdom is

99
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.360
what I call it now, that was guiding me and

100
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.000
was very clear that it was not a good decision

101
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.519
to have a child with this person. And like every

102
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:10.879
day I look at my kid and I'm like, oh

103
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.040
my god, thank god I didn't have a child with

104
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:19.399
that person. Like I just feel so blessed that I

105
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.399
made the decision that I made and it was a

106
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.000
tough one at the time. It's not culturally acceptable to

107
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.360
have a divorce and go through all of that. But

108
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.560
here we are, like, did it anyway?

109
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.399
It's amazing to me that they would have statistics for

110
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.120
me eighteen hundreds.

111
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.240
Yeah, isn't that crazy?

112
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.199
Yes, it really is, you know what it really is.

113
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.639
And it just goes to show, you know, in my

114
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:57.439
humble opinion, how unaware most doctors are about it goes

115
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:58.480
on in a woman's box.

116
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:05.240
Yeah, it's so true. It's so true, and we are

117
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.360
often not questioning the belief systems that we have right

118
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:14.759
and unfortunately, when those belief systems were created very early

119
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.920
or years and decades ago, I think that it does

120
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.079
us a disservice because things are evolving and things are

121
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:30.600
changing always, so we're basing something on something that wasn't

122
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.679
even research and scientific to begin with. But then to

123
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.399
add to it, we're not questioning it. And there are

124
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:43.440
some small studies that I've seen that has questioned this belief,

125
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:49.039
and what they've actually found is that between the age

126
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.159
groups of twenty five to twenty nine versus thirty five

127
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.840
to thirty nine, there is a three percent drop in

128
00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:07.559
fertility so is very different from a cliff. I mean, yes,

129
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.879
there's a drop, but it's not as severe as we

130
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:18.480
make it sound. And because like the anxiety the stress

131
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:25.120
that comes out of having been told that this is

132
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.720
your reality, your body is going to start feeling you

133
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.960
at thirty five because we're told that again and again,

134
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:38.240
I think that we really go into panic mode. It's

135
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.200
essentially what I felt when I was with this with

136
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.679
my ex husband and going through the questions of what

137
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.240
do I do? And I was panicking. I was like,

138
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.960
what am I going to do? Because when as soon

139
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.120
as I got clear that I do want a child,

140
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.879
I was like, well, crap, if that's a bumber. And

141
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:08.519
it was really like such a relief to realize that

142
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.039
what I had learned was not the actual truth. And

143
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.639
if I could let that belief system go, then the

144
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.480
pressure also went away, right like the pressure of oh

145
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.320
my god, I'm going to run out of time, I'll

146
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.679
never find someone. And so many women are operating with

147
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.240
that because we are we have bought into this belief system.

148
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:36.080
So I really do feel like if we can change,

149
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.840
if we can question the belief systems that are not true,

150
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.360
and if we can say, well, if that not that,

151
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:49.799
then what is truth? And that the truth can vary

152
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:52.600
from person to person. Right, you might have a thirty

153
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:57.000
five year old that is actually going to have problems

154
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:02.120
because of genetics or whatever. She was given less eggs

155
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:06.200
than her counterparts at thirty five. Whatever it is like

156
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.799
from person to person there is a variable. But in general,

157
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.000
we can't say that an entire population is going to

158
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:20.080
have a drop of anything. It's just not true. So

159
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.720
as soon as we start questioning these beliefs that we've

160
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.799
been given, then we can get to like, Okay, what's

161
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.360
true for me? And how do I figure that out?

162
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:37.279
And if this is not true, then what do I

163
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:40.399
need to get the answers that I need to make

164
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:45.320
the decisions that I want to make without the stress,

165
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.159
without the pressure, without the fear of like, oh my god,

166
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.879
if I don't do this, if I don't do this

167
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.960
XYZ thing, I'm going to be not having the life

168
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.399
that I envisioned for myself.

169
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.720
Mentions strength, what kind of roles of that, ploy inputility,

170
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:09.639
how to manage it?

171
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:15.799
Stress plays quite a big role, it is. There's a

172
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.799
lot of research on stress actually, and they've studied all

173
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:25.720
different types of stress and what we have found over

174
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:30.080
and over again is that stress just screws with the

175
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:37.320
entire endocrine system. So it's from top to bottom, every

176
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.759
endocrine gland and the multiples of hormones that these glands

177
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:47.559
make are all impacted by stress. But when you when

178
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.480
you hear that, most people say, well, what do I do?

179
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.840
I can't go live in a bubble. And that's often

180
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:59.240
the response that I've had as well, because I think

181
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:03.360
that a lot of women fall into this like high achieving.

182
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.320
I want to be successful, I have dreams, I want

183
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.320
to do things. Yes, yes I want a family, but

184
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.039
I also want all of these other things. And for me,

185
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:19.200
it was really important to figure out that we are

186
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.279
not going to get rid of stress, right like stress

187
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.279
is always going to be part of our reality, but

188
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:31.679
there are few things that stress really can be shifted

189
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.559
into that is different. So one is being able to

190
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:42.279
understand that our bodies do not run on a twenty

191
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.759
four hour clock. So a lot of what a lot

192
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.440
of that stress and pressure is coming from I'm not

193
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.480
doing enough, I'm not knocking the things off of my

194
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:01.360
to do list. And we treat ourselves as the men

195
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.279
are our male counterparts who do run on a twenty

196
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:10.600
four hour clock. So for women, it is super important

197
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.919
to realize that we have a twenty eight day clock,

198
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.159
not a twenty four hour clock. And when we shift

199
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.279
into a twenty eight day clock, things get very different.

200
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:25.720
The idea of pressure becomes different because for me, I

201
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:30.159
know that while I'm menstorting is the worst time to

202
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.080
have a very long to do list and work fourteen

203
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:38.840
hour days and feel like, oh my god, I'm always behind, right,

204
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.799
And if I put that kind of pressure on myself

205
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.559
during that time period, then I will have a very

206
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.960
horrible experience of life, and that is stressful. But if

207
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.159
I shift my relationship with that and say, hey, this

208
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.960
is actually the time of my cycle where I'm supposed

209
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.279
to be getting more in internal and listening to my

210
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:09.120
intuition and slowing down and rejuvenating, then my relationship becomes

211
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.639
very different because I know that the ten days after

212
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.559
my menstrual cycle, I'm going to be a freaking badass, right, Like,

213
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.600
if I conserve my energy during the time that I'm

214
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.600
mens writing, I am going to be an absolute badass

215
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.879
when when my hormones shift and I go into the

216
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:34.399
estrogenic period. So if we can understand that our bodies

217
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.919
are shifting in every phase of our cycle, and if

218
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:43.240
we actually live in sync with that, the stress goes

219
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.919
away because now you're not putting the type of pressure

220
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.879
that you have all of these things to do. I

221
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.639
have a lot of things to do. I run three businesses,

222
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.759
so I am very much a quote unquote busy person.

223
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.720
But my what's hilarious is my my one of my

224
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.360
co founders in one of my businesses is a man,

225
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.879
and he's like, hey, he just said this last week.

226
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.679
He's like, hey, so when is that time where you

227
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.279
like are going to like knock everything off the list

228
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.799
and magically like send me eight hundred things to review.

229
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.639
And I'm like, oh, it's coming, And like he knows

230
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.000
that there are times of the month where I'm going

231
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.919
to be super productive and then there are gonna be

232
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.080
other times of the month where we're better off like

233
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.840
letting me not do those things but instead focus on

234
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.799
the big picture, the vision, the things that I really

235
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.679
need to be doing during that phase of my cycle.

236
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.519
So he doesn't know exactly what's happening with all the hormones,

237
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.759
but he knows that there's a shift, right and he's like,

238
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.960
just let me know like when we can expect that

239
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.600
and I'm like, yep, I got you. It's on my list.

240
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.279
I won't get to it, but it's it's not the

241
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.519
type of list that is like I have to do

242
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.720
this today. It's the type of list that this is

243
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.480
like over the next month, I will make it happen.

244
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.160
I just need to find the right time to do it.

245
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:17.000
And it's a different mindset. But if we can have

246
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.759
that experience, a lot of the stress goes away. And

247
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.200
people always look at me like, you look so chill.

248
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.640
How do you run three businesses? And I'm like what,

249
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:31.799
It's easy. It's like it's not stressful anymore. But it's

250
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.039
taken a long time to get there. The second is

251
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:45.000
realizing that our our bodies have mechanisms to neutralize stress hormones.

252
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:51.039
So we think about stress as like either it's happening

253
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.720
or it's not. I'm either stressed or I'm not. But

254
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:58.200
the reality is stress is actually a way that our

255
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:01.759
body is giving feedback and saying hey, I need more

256
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.000
of this, I need less of this, I need this

257
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.519
to happen right now. And if we understand that, we

258
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.240
can actually neutralize those hormones in a way that's going

259
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:16.000
to be more supportive. And I call this stress resilience,

260
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:20.920
the ability to have your body shift into a different

261
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:28.559
way of being simply by optimizing what hormones are being released.

262
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.160
And one of my favorites is, especially for women, the

263
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:39.799
absolute essential hormone is oxytocin. And there are several things

264
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:43.960
that oxytocin does. One is it gives us a sense

265
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:49.200
of safety, and that safety is crucial for fertility. Safety

266
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:53.279
is when we're not in survival mode. So if stress

267
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:58.200
is that like survive fight or flight, safety is the

268
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.079
exact opposite, and that's it helps us feel like we

269
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:07.039
can reproduce and reproduction becomes easy in that space. So

270
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:12.160
oxytocin is one of those hormones that neutralizes cortisol and

271
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.160
shifts us into this safe space where it's better, easier,

272
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:25.480
and more beneficial or optimal to reproduce. So the cool

273
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:31.240
thing about our bodies is that we as women release

274
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:36.200
oxytocin in circles of women. So when we think about

275
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.480
back in the day when women use to commune and

276
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:44.759
like have these groups of women, that is when our

277
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:49.160
oxytocin is being released the most. So if we can

278
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:55.319
let's say we have a stressful period, but then plan like, oh,

279
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.319
I'm going to spend time connecting with my circle of women,

280
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.160
then that is going to help to neutralize some of

281
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:11.079
that stress. We can also release oxytocin by I think

282
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.359
the research is like ten minutes of a deep conversation

283
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.359
followed by a few minutes of eye deep eye gazing.

284
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.640
And you could do that with your partner. You can

285
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:25.519
do that with a friend. You could a cuddling will

286
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.440
also release oxytocin. You could do that with a child,

287
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:33.440
or a pet, or your husband, whatever. There are so

288
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.240
many ways to stimulate the production of this on a

289
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:42.839
regular basis that if we could keep that hormone as

290
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:48.200
something that we do, like focus on, then we don't

291
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:50.880
have to focus so much on oh my god, I'm

292
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:55.480
so stressed. But really like you're finding ways to balance

293
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.839
and become more resilient to that stress. So I think

294
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:04.200
that's the other main thing that I think about when

295
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:05.160
it comes to stress.

296
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:11.000
How do you balance for you, the science of fertility

297
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:16.559
and then you have those emotional the psychological aspects well,

298
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.240
the journey that people are going.

299
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:26.079
Yeah, so you For me, I think I don't think

300
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.160
of it as separate. I feel like our emotions are

301
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.480
driving our hormones, and our hormones are driving our emotions,

302
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.880
and that feedback loop is constantly happening. So for me,

303
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:44.519
it's really awareness and knowing what's happening. So that awareness

304
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:50.599
piece is understanding that. For example, let's say someone has

305
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:56.400
a gut inflammation that is I would say for eighty

306
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:01.400
percent of our population, that's a problem. A lot of

307
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:05.920
fertility issues are coming out of gut inflammation. So if

308
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:10.440
we could address gut inflammation, we know that we're going

309
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:16.119
to help support fertility. But the gut inflammation is potentially

310
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:22.160
in place for someone because she had a trauma that

311
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.640
she was dealing with and she was not She was

312
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:28.400
kind of like putting it on the back burner and

313
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:32.119
she would be like, oh, yeah, it's like that was traumatic,

314
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.559
but you know, like it's done. I don't need to

315
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.920
think about it anymore. But her body is still holding

316
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:45.319
that message. So her body is in a trauma traumatized

317
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.839
state even though she is like, oh, I don't need

318
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:54.640
to think about this, this is not a thing anymore. Unfortunately,

319
00:22:55.119 --> 00:23:01.440
her gut inflammation is the response of her trauma that's

320
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:05.960
stored in her gut. So for us, like, when we

321
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:11.160
think about healing, it needs to happen on all the levels,

322
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:17.160
and we want to find the root cause of whatever

323
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.640
it is that's happening. And everyone's going to have a

324
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:24.400
different root cause we don't know what the story is

325
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.480
behind why they have this gut inflammation. Or they might

326
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:32.160
just have microbes. They took a bunch of antibiotics and

327
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:35.279
they have the wrong microbiome and that's what's causing the inflammation.

328
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:38.440
So it could be physical, it could be emotional, it

329
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:43.079
could be spiritual. But if you have a provider that

330
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.880
can only see one way, that's all they're going to see.

331
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:50.400
If you have a provider that is working with you

332
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:54.960
trying to uncover all the levels, then you can say, oh,

333
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.440
I found this trauma that I didn't realize I even had,

334
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.599
and that's going to move them forward on their fertility journey.

335
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.799
So I had There was a thirty six year old

336
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:15.240
woman who came in with her husband and he was

337
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.880
upset that they hadn't had a child yet. They had

338
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.160
been married for ten years and he was like, I

339
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.440
would have had a basketball team by now, Like that's

340
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.039
how many children he wanted to have, And she came

341
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.519
in and she's like, I'm not sure I even want

342
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:35.160
to have one child. I'm just here for one. And

343
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:40.839
they were on completely different pages, and he had so

344
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:46.000
much resentment, so much grief, and she also was like,

345
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:50.799
he doesn't hear me, like what is happening? And that

346
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:54.000
appointment this is a long time ago, and I can't

347
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:56.440
even believe that I used to have the time for this.

348
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.759
But seven hours in my office. We did not leave

349
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.279
the office for seven hours because I was like, well,

350
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.119
you guys need to figure this out, because if you

351
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.200
don't get on the same page. They're like, there's nothing

352
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.039
I'm gonna do that's going to fix this. They eventually

353
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:17.759
like came to okay, let's just start with one and

354
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:21.519
we'll see what happens. And she didn't know it at

355
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:25.599
the time, but several months later I was working with

356
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:29.640
her on the mental emotional side. What I found was

357
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:34.680
her body was literally holding on to a memory from

358
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:41.680
a previous lifetime. Like she's Catholic. So she was like, what,

359
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:44.720
I do not believe in past lives? What are you

360
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.480
talking about? And I was like, no, it doesn't have

361
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.400
to be like an actual life. It can just be

362
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:55.359
like the template that we have throughout women female history, right,

363
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:58.680
so many women have died in childbirth, So she her

364
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:05.519
body had a an awareness of a death during childbirth,

365
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.200
and it was so physiological. She was laying on my

366
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:16.000
table like shaking as we uncovered this, and we released

367
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:19.079
it out of her body and the shaking stopped. She

368
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.640
got up and she was like, oh my god, I

369
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.519
feel so different, and I was like, okay, this is good.

370
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:31.079
A couple of weeks later, they got pregnant, she had

371
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:35.200
that baby. She felt amazing. She was like, I can't

372
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:42.839
believe that it was for her, like a real fear

373
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:48.559
of childbirth that she wasn't necessarily like aware of. Or

374
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:52.720
when I talked to her about it after, she's like, well,

375
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.799
it didn't make sense because I've never been through childbirth,

376
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:58.440
Like I don't know why I would be that afraid

377
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:02.079
of it. And I was like, Okay, it's all good.

378
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:06.759
We released it. That's all that matters. We don't know

379
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:09.319
why you have it. It could be a past life,

380
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.319
it could be the energy of a past life. I

381
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.759
have no idea. I don't know what the truth is.

382
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:20.279
But your body felt it really being able to release

383
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:26.039
things out of our body that are contributing to how

384
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:31.920
how we think about things, or that fear was essentially

385
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.000
the block for her to have children, because she was like,

386
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.920
I'm not sure that I want to ever have a

387
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:42.599
child because I have this fear that I'm going to die.

388
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:45.279
That's a legitimate fear.

389
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:50.000
That's a very legitimate fear. Yeah, and seriously, and you know,

390
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:53.720
it is amazing because the things that I have read

391
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.720
on the energies, like we were saying, I may not

392
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:00.880
even be your past. It's just the jenis of the

393
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:05.720
women before. And you know, let me put out and

394
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.839
I want this conversation to continue, but we have to

395
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:13.640
wrap up as we do. Doctor Madla, what do you

396
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:17.000
want to leave our listeners with and how may they

397
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.839
reach out to you?

398
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.559
I would like to leave people with if you have

399
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.200
been told something by a doctor, a provider, a friend,

400
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.279
a family member, or it does not matter if it

401
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:35.720
has if you are having a belief that doesn't resonate

402
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:38.680
with you that you were like, I don't know, is

403
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:41.559
there something else I could be thinking here? Then go

404
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.960
find an answer for whatever that question is. Do not

405
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:49.480
stop at this is just what I've been told or taught.

406
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.359
It may may or may not be the truth. So

407
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:57.319
go look for an answer and find the one that

408
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:03.680
resonates with you. Like me, put yourself as the first

409
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:09.079
thought rather than the last, right like prioritize yourself and

410
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:13.839
your intuition over everything else, and then find someone that

411
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.279
can support you in that intuition. And for people that

412
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.519
would like to connect, I'm often active on Instagram at
