It's likely a hectic time for people getting ready for the holidays. And it certainly is for those who are working to help others who may be less fortunate. Feed Nova Scotia says there's never been as much demand on their services. And executive director Nick Jennery has a wish too.
For the last 18 months, I have watched the world as I know it turn upside down. Civil rights and liberties have been stripped from the people, as quickly and effortlessly as this ‘novel coronavirus' appeared on our doorsteps in January 2020. Let me start by giving you a pre-frame here, what I am about to discuss with you today is based on my own research, I encourage you to do the same, research, research and then do some more research. I will provide you with the links from mine, including patent numbers, videos discussing money transactions, research paper articles of both published and those confidential in nature articles. Ultimately at the end of the day, please consider this as information that I would give to my own children, anyone that I love and my clients. With that pre-frame, I invite you to sit back and enjoy the story that I am about to tell you. This represents approximately 0.03% of my research, there is so much more to this world wide event, I encourage you to remain open and stay curious. http://ivfcoachingclinic.com.au/podcast/do-your-own-research/

I had the pleasure of speaking with Lorne Brown who is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine at the Acubalance Wellness Centre in Vancouver Canada. We talked about Laser Acupuncture which is used for fertility clients and also those who are trying to conceive naturally. Older patients, PCOS, Endometriosis and Sperm Motility are just some of the treatments options available at the centre. Laser Acupuncture is officially called low level laser therapy (LLLT). The scientific community now refers to it as photobiomodulation because both lasers and LED lights are used. Technically, Laser Acupuncture is the process of emitting photons of light, usually red or infrared, into acupuncture points.

It was through her work as an Artist that Jasmine suddenly saw her fertility challenge through new eyes and then things began to change for her.

I get asked a great deal, just what is it that you do? Well, when I am not podcasting and interviewing for the show, I help clients who want to have a baby, some are just starting their fertility treatment, others have already had fertility treatment without success. We have all heard of Life Coaching and Wellness programs in the corporate world and coaching when it comes to athletes and sport. Coaching is a method of learning and for having a baby, we are focussed on the much the needed support for the emotional side of this process. Clinics will advise that they have a counsellor or psychologist who talk to their patients, which is fantastic for the patients who want to talk about their problems. Coaching is not that at all, it is a completely different concept. If you would like to work with me, you can also book a free introduction call with me to discuss how I can help you and see if we are a good fit ... the link to book this call is below ... www.ivfcoachingclinic.as.me The study that I mention in this podcast is below ... https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.3594.epdf?sharing_token=GGP1tUEJ4-Y-uOZ0XXcu1tRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0PNRKbL1XKfDUHrLnX87GGppyj-gR9-bCs9xsAkAVaTleWhOvip9wXVZwtAiBRii081MCNbqbV2SVv-KZVa8DBLWiT7hE0kAK4fuLnB8bkUKr861-dpm98iaBcUz3cx71FIC6MpPcQYBfsVbLmnuBXV3VSEP9FgTIkC05BcWxjQGNxH8j84H1wtyLy67BHyZPz1xC_C4YzrZ4tpoFFY-JfRLERQ2tHiDfk9jOoFYHRsjQ%3D%3D&tracking_referrer=www.scientificamerican.com

What do you consider a family? Generally, when you ask someone what is a family, they will typically think of parents with children and extended family members, who are biologically related to them. However, a family can be made up of so much more than this ancient outdated definition. Families share common values, goals, emotional bonds and responsibilities. Mostly family members contribute to the wellbeing of others in the family unit. This topic comes up a great deal with clients, so I thought it would be a great idea to look at the definitions out there currently and highlight what makes a family!
This week I had the pleasure of talking with Dr Kaylen Silverberg. Kaylen is a board certified reproductive endocrinologist, obstetrician and gynaecologist and the Medical Director of Texas Fertility Centre. We talked about male fertility, what has changed, when should you have testing done, what can you do to prepare when ttc and the types of testing that you might expect. Men largely feel marginalised in the process of ttc, so opening up the conversation about male factors is an important one.
This week I wanted to discuss a common pattern that we all use from time to time, projection. I don’t mean the obvious ones, such as getting stuck in traffic and coming home grumpy. Or having a tough meeting and taking your frustration out of your work colleagues … I am talking about the sneakier projections, the ones that build up over time. Once you get to know the clues, you will be able to spot these projections much sooner and take evasive action! So, let’s jump right into the podcast …. Perception is Projection is a common term used today to describe how we interact with others and project onto them, what we are refusing to acknowledge in ourselves. ‘Our outer world is indeed a reflection of our inner world’

During my conversations with clients over the years, it is apparent that Finances are a considerable area of concern for most people when they require fertility treatment. Next to relationship problems and breakdown, finances are a significant reason that prevent people from seeking further treatment. In Australia the average cost of an IVF cycle is approximately $10,000, however in that cost you must also consider the extras and the hidden costs that you may not have budgeted for when embarking on your treatment.

Routine Screening, what is it and when should it be performed for fertility assessment? Currently there is no schedule for such testing, the reality is if routine screening was conducted early, different choices could be made, with potential treatment and/or intervention. Most clients find out they have fertility issues after having tried to conceive naturally for some time, however if given the knowledge earlier, they would have made different plans with their lives and family planning.
