Award-winning author Larry Bograd opens up about his decades-long journey to make sense of his father's suicide and how writing his memoir, Blood Flow, became a path to healing. This emotional and thought-provoking conversation explores grief, memory, and the power of storytelling. A must-watch for anyone seeking clarity, closure, or creative courage.==========================================
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Larry Bograd, author of the book Blood Flow. Larry s an award-winning, widely translated author whose works have been published by Farrar/Straus, Harper and Macmillan. In addition to a UK edition, his books were translated into Japanese, French, Swedish, Danish and German. His first book, Felix in the Attic, won the Bank Street College Irma Simonton Black “Best Book for Children” award, and his novel Los Alamos Light was selected as a UNESCO Book for Peace. He has an extensive backlist and several anthologized short stories. His success as a children's book and young adult author was cut short by censorship and book banning because he wrote honestly about childhood poverty and adolescent sexuality. When it became clear that no publisher would promote his work, he turned to playwriting, screenwriting and documentary filmmaking. He lives in Denver, Colorado. In my book review, I stated Blood Flow is a look at a son's journey to understand his father's suicide. This memoir is real and sometimes raw, but it always brings us back to the understanding that Larry's father had a mental illness. His death when Larry was just 13 was unexpected for Larry but not for those around his father who understood the truth. Larry spends years writing and rewriting the story as he uncovers facts gleaned from relatives, old friends, and even trips to his father's homeland. We also see some of Larry's own struggles as he deals with heart issues in his mid-40s that threaten to derail the life he has created despite his early trauma. I enjoyed this memoir because it solidified what I've come to understand about people - we simply don't know what is going on with them by looking on the outside. We need to do a better job to get to know and understand those around us. And this can be as easy as sitting down and asking questions.

Plyometrics play a crucial role in athletic adaptation. There needs to be a balance between stiffness and compliance in training. Volume is essential for tendon development. Isometric training can provide unique benefits for athletes. Young athletes often face tendon issues due to overtraining. Biomechanics significantly influence injury risks in athletes. Extreme isometrics can lead to remarkable performance improvements. Understanding foot contact is vital for effective training. Coaches must consider the long-term effects of training on athletes. Embracing failure is crucial for growth in training. Pulling harder can help overcome feelings of impending failure. Muscle coordination is key to effective training. Energy systems play a significant role in performance. Tendons require specific loading techniques for rehabilitation. Long-duration holds can benefit tendon health. Blood flow restriction may aid in tendon recovery. Integrating different training modalities enhances performance. Foot mechanics are essential for injury prevention. Understanding individual biomechanics can improve training outcomes.

In this episode prompted by a listener question, Doctor Motley breaks down the healing power of vibrational plates and their potential to improve blood flow and help improve the body's energy. The podcast covers how vibration plates work to enhance blood flow, support the body's organs, and improve muscular strength and balance. Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast? Subscribe to the YouTube channel. Follow Dr. Chris Motley Instagram Twitter Facebook Tik-Tok Website ------ Show Notes: Meridian_Points.pdf How Vibration Plates Work Vibration plates are devices that produce rapid movements, causing your muscles to contract and relax multiple times per second. This technology, known as Whole Body Vibration (WBV), is used in fitness and rehabilitation to enhance muscle strength, improve balance, and boost circulation. Impact on the Lymphatic System: The lymphatic system is crucial for removing waste and toxins from the body. Unlike the circulatory system, it doesn't have a central pump like the heart and relies on muscle movements to transport lymph fluid. Using a vibration plate can stimulate muscle contractions, promoting lymphatic drainage and enhancing circulation. This process helps in detoxification and supports the immune system. In TCM, health is maintained by the harmonious flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood throughout the body. Practices that enhance circulation and energy flow support overall health. Vibration therapy aligns with these principles by stimulating muscle activity and improving blood and lymph circulation, promoting the smooth flow of Qi and blood.

If you've been trying to conceive and feel like you've explored every option without success, it's time to focus on a commonly overlooked factor: blood flow and circulation. Proper circulation is the lifeline of your reproductive system, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your ovaries, uterus, testes, and sperm. When blood flow is restricted, it can impact egg quality, uterine lining, hormone transport, and even sperm health—creating hidden barriers to conception.In this video, I will dive deep into:
LaNua Medical, an Irish medtech device startup, today announced it has raised $6.3 million in seed funding. The company is developing a groundbreaking technology that makes it easy, safe, and cheaper for doctors to treat internal bleeding, vascular malformations and many benign and malignant tumours. The funding round was co-led by Elkstone and Atlantic Bridge, with participation from Enterprise Ireland and Furthr VC. The funding will be used to accelerate product development and market access. A spin-out from University College Dublin (UCD), La Nua was founded in 2024 by interventional radiologist Dr Cormac Farrelly, Tom Fitzmaurice (ex-Medtronic VP) and UCD biomedical engineers Dr Eoin O'Cearbhaill and Dr Sajjad Amiri. The new Ecore device aims to help improve patient outcomes, lower hospital costs, minimize duration of hospital stays, and reduce stress and procedure times for practitioners. LaNua's pioneering Ecore device will help to modernise embolisation procedures - a technique used by surgeons and radiologists to control the flow of blood in certain areas of the body. Designed to enhance the safe and targeted delivery of tools used to block blood flow, the umbrella-shaped device will enter blood vessels deep within the body and form an occlusive barrier. In a major step for embolisation procedures, the Ecore device allows doctors to restrict blood flow in a targeted segment of veins or arteries while still allowing ancillary medical tools (guidewires and catheters) to pass through it. The innovative device design will safely complement liquid and microparticle embolization including localised intravascular radiation procedures performed by Interventional Radiologists worldwide. Exposure to X-ray radiation is also reduced for both patient and practitioner, and lowers the risk of human errors like inadvertently blocking blood flow to healthy adjacent organs. Speaking on the announcement CEO and Co-founder of LaNua Medical Tom Fitzmaurice said "We are delighted to complete this $6.3M seed round bringing on board sophisticated and experienced Medical Technology investors in Ireland and the United States. It will enable our team to hire additional skilled resources, develop a range of devices to meet the growing demands of embolisation in the Interventional Radiology medical community and gain entry into our first market in the United States." Currently, the global embolisation market is worth $2.2bn and is expected to reach $3.88bn in 2031, driven by increased incidences of vascular diseases, cancer and growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Consultant Interventional Radiologist, CMO and Co-founder Dr Cormac Farrelly said "Having performed thousands of embolisation procedures, I strongly believe this next-generation embolisation device is a transformative platform technology. It will not just make existing procedures safer and more effective, but will also enable new clinical applications for minimally invasive embolisation procedures worldwide." The device can be used in oncology, and in the treatment of benign tumours, malformations and haemorrhage. LaNua is initially targeting treatments used to enable liver cancer patients to safely receive potentially curative surgery. For example, a combination of embolisation and surgery has increased 5-year survival rates by 45% for colorectal cancer, which spreads to the liver in 60% of patients. By improving the efficacy and safety of targeted therapeutic delivery in embolisation, LaNua's Ecore device can potentially push survival rates above 80%. "LaNua Medical exemplifies Ireland's continued excellence and innovation in the MedTech sector," said Niall McEvoy, Head of Venture at Elkstone. "As an early investor in pioneering companies like LetsGetChecked, Luminate Medical and Croi Valve, we at Elkstone have seen firsthand how Irish Health Tech and MedTech start-ups can revolutionise patient care on a global scale. LaNua, led by an experienced founder team, has the po...

BUFFALO, NY- October 8, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 18 on September 18, 2024, entitled, “Determinants of cerebral blood flow and arterial transit time in healthy older adults.” This research paper highlights that brain health deteriorates with age, particularly in terms of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and arterial transit time (ATT), key markers of brain vascular health. This decline can impair cognitive function and limit independence in later life—an issue that will affect many as the global population continues to age rapidly. In their paper, researchers Jack Feron, Katrien Segaert, Foyzul Rahman, Sindre H. Fosstveit, Kelsey E. Joyce, Ahmed Gilani, Hilde Lohne-Seiler, Sveinung Berntsen, Karen J Mullinger, and Samuel J. E. Lucas from the University of Birmingham, University of Agder, and University of Nottingham aimed to identify modifiable determinants of CBF and ATT in healthy older adults (n = 78, aged 60–81 years). They also investigated the relationship between CBF, ATT, and cognitive function in older adults. The researchers hypothesized that markers of superior general health—such as higher cardiorespiratory fitness, handgrip strength, and grey matter volume, or lower age, BMI, and blood pressure—would be associated with greater CBF and shorter ATT. Results from multiple linear regressions revealed that a higher BMI was associated with lower global cerebral blood flow (CBF) (β = −0.35, P = 0.008) and longer global arterial transit time (ATT) (β = 0.30, P = 0.017). Additionally, global ATT increased with age (β = 0.43, P = 0.004), while higher cardiorespiratory fitness was linked to longer ATT in the parietal (β = 0.44, P = 0.004) and occipital (β = 0.45, P = 0.003) regions. However, neither global nor regional CBF or ATT were associated with processing speed, working memory, or attention. “In conclusion, preventing excessive weight gain may help attenuate age-related declines in brain vascular health.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206112 Corresponding author - Jack Feron - j.feron@bham.ac.uk Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpS4kK273os Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.206112 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts About Aging-US The mission of the journal is to understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population.

Dr. Stephen Storage, a child psychiatrist, discusses the key stages of child psychological development and the impact of family dynamics and early childhood experiences on a child's mental health. He explains that there are four stages of development: infancy (0-2 years), early childhood (2-6 years), middle childhood (6-12 years), and adolescence (12-18 years). Each stage has a developmental task that the child must master, and if they don't, it can lead to issues later in life. Factors such as attachment, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences can shape a child's psyche and impact their relationships and mental health as adults. Trauma shapes the biology of the developing brain, leading to changes in brain activity and blood flow. The impact of trauma on the brain can be addressed through various therapies, supplements, and lifestyle changes. Genetics play a significant role in mental health conditions, with conditions like ADHD and autism having a high heritability. The three pillars of brain health are sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Social media can have negative effects on the developing brain, leading to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. However, social media can also be a platform for connection and spreading awareness about mental health. It is important to set limits on social media use and ensure that the content is interactive and educational. Play is crucial for the psychological development of children, promoting problem-solving, creativity, social skills, emotional regulation, and confidence. Parents should be aware of the signs of mental health struggles in their children and foster open communication.Amen Clinic@drstevenstorage@therunningwinemom_

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, thank you so much for all the information you provide. You've already helped me immensely! I saw a tiny tiny white worm in my stool and confirmed this with a stool test by my PCP. I tested positive for parasite or ova. I just ordered your para cleanse but I'm wondering if taking that 1 time will be enough. Should I be doing more? I heard a keto diet is helpful? Anything extra I should do? When should I retest? So surprised I saw this worm because I don't feel I have any symptoms at the moment, no real bloating, constipation ( as long as I take Mg before bed), diarrhea, some sleep disturbance with waking in the night but since resolving my thyroid that's improved, also haven't had food poisoning in 13 yrs. I also eat very well and take garlic tablets.thanks! Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral, my question is about blood flow. It seems it always happens in the warmer and hot months (in the cold too) but, when I keep my arms down by my side or, at least somewhat lower than my upper body, they get REALLY red. When I push into my skin the color turns natural skin color, than instantly turns red again. I can hold my arms above my head and the color ends up going back to normal. Blood pressure has always been good, I do get flushed in the face at times, but, my hands are always red. Also, the back of my arms (triceps) get red when my arms get warm like when I work out, or, the sun hits it. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for all you do, you are a mentor sir!!! Lynn: Hi Dr. Cabral - for the past 5 or 6 months, it feels like when I breath there are toxins in the air, but it doesn't matter where I am - home, work, outside. It's hard to explain, but it's almost like the air is heavy, or I'm breathing in dust spores. At first, I was thinking it was the furnace (like not filtering dust, etc.), but it's not on now, and again, it's not just at my house. Plus, I have a high quality air filter at home and work. When I go to bed, it almost feels somewhat difficult to breathe because of this sensation. I'm at a loss, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all that you do! Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all that you and your team do you have me greatly. I have run Big 5 --> 21 FMD --> Heavy metal + Estrogen dom --> and now in CBO. Everything has gotten much better with my PMS and general health. The one lingering symptom I have is for 3 days before my menstural cycle my percieved caloric and carb needs go up drastically - I am a bottomless pit :) For context I eat 120-150g of carbs from fruit and veggies + 18ish% bf. I am trying to figure out what my body actually needs because I can't believe that it actually needs double. My blood sugar is usually between 4.7-5.2 in the morning. Pete: Hi Dr C Thanks for everything you do I really appreciate you and all you have created. My question is about the bicuspid heart valve and the leakage. I have been ‘diagnosed' as having severe leakage and a valve replacement is needed asap. I have no symptoms what so ever, I'm an in shape active 40yr old, surf and eat really well I listened to a previous house call and you said to follow a Mediterranean diet and foundational protocol level 2 or 3 Is there anything else you could recommend you would do ?

In today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Mike Berkley shares his personal journey with acupuncture and herbal medicine in fertility treatment. He highlights the value of integrative medicine in fertility enhancement. Mike explains how acupuncture and herbal medicine improve fertility by increasing blood flow to the ovaries and testes, enhancing egg and sperm quality. He also discusses the importance of preparing for IVF and the timing of treatment. Mike Berkley, LAc, FABORM, is a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist and a board-certified herbalist. He is a fertility specialist at The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. Infertility can be a daunting journey for couples longing to start a family, which is a reality Mike faced with his wife. Luckily, she sought the guidance of an acupuncturist and herbalist who possessed some knowledge of reproductive issues. Despite initial disappointments, after undergoing acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments for seven months, the couple became pregnant and carried the child to term without any complications. Their once seemingly elusive dream had become a beautiful reality thanks to the remarkable effects of acupuncture and herbal medicine. This experience led Mike to obtain his degree in acupuncture from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine's New York campus and his National Board Certification in herbal medicine. Equipped with the necessary license and fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Mike studied Western medical approaches and the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine about infertility treatment. Through rigorous study and invaluable clinical experience, he developed unique acupuncture protocols and proprietary herbal formulas, tailoring them to each individual or couple seeking his assistance. Mike is also a member of several organizations, including the Acupuncture Society of New York and the American Infertility Association. He is writing a book on reproductive disorders and Chinese medicine and hosts his groundbreaking seminars nationwide. Mike has witnessed firsthand the life-changing potential these ancient practices hold for couples struggling with infertility. Together, he can help transform your dreams into reality and create a world where the joy of parenthood knows no bounds.

Yeah, I'm actually really happy to have you. And mike berkley (00:02) I'm thrilled to be here. Thank you for having me. Michelle (00:07) read about your story and I find it fascinating that you guys started out as patients, kind of like how I was. I was working in New York, really close to you, for doing architecture. So completely different life, completely different world. So I went in for my menstrual irregularities and then everything started getting resolved. for the first time with acupuncture. And I know you guys were also moved by it with your own journey. So I'd love for you to share your story and how you got into this type of work. Mike berkley (00:39) Sure, I'd be happy to. So, while I was in acupuncture school, my wife and I were trying to have a baby. And we couldn't. And I had, she had anti -sperm antibodies and I had, I don't remember, motility issues or morphology issues or something. And she went to a... She didn't go to a reproductive endocrinologist. She went to a gynecologist and he wanted to do some IUIs. And then she met or heard about an acupuncturist and herbalist in New York. And she went to this one. And the woman gave her herbs and acupuncture and gave me some then two months later, I was I think I was working and going to school. I can't remember so long ago, but she called me. My wife called me and said that she was pregnant and I didn't know anything about medicine in any way, shape or form. And I said, how do you know? And she said, well, I peed on the stick. And I said, well, that's all well and good, but I don't believe in that. You better go to the doctor and get a blood test. And she did. And now I have a 29 year old son. Yeah. So I got very inspired at that time to pursue knowledge in the realm of reproductive medicine. Michelle (02:03) amazing. Mike berkley (02:17) And so I spent many years studying Western reproductive medicine. I don't mean officially, I didn't go to medical school, but on my own, I studied a lot of Western reproductive medicine and a lot of acupuncture and a lot of herbs. And I've been treating fertility cases exclusively. Like I won't treat a neck or a back or a headache. I've been treating fertility cases exclusively for 27 years. Michelle (02:29) Yeah. Amazing. So that's awesome. I mean, I personally love working with fertility. I first started, it was more general, but I just love it. And the rewards are like insane. You know, when you get the positive pregnancy pictures sent to you and it's really incredible and people are shocked. Oftentimes, because they're like, there's no way. I mean, sometimes five years of nothing like Western medicine. And I think one of the common things is that people think that IVF is a guarantee. Do you find that? Mike berkley (03:17) Of course, of course. I mean, it's, you know, our lives as acupuncturists and herbalists are very interesting, gratifying and ungratifying. I'll give you an example. This has happened to you. It's happened to any acupuncturist listening. Patient does four failed IUIs and three failed IVFs. Michelle (03:18) Yeah. Right. Right, or it helped me relax through the process. Mike berkley (03:43) And then you work with the patient for three months and she does an IVF and she gets pregnant and has a baby. And then I've had patients more than one say, well, you know, it's possible that that what you did helped me. And I'm like, yeah, it's possible, you know. Exactly, exactly. I love that one. You know, it helped me relax. So I think that I'm I think more and more individuals more more couples more women more men are becoming aware of the the efficacy and the value of You know complementary medicine or integrated medicine acupuncture herbs You know diet In the context of fertility enhancement Michelle (04:16) Mm -hmm. Mike berkley (04:34) And I often say to patients, I say, listen, you can go to the best reproductive endocrinologist in the world. I don't care who it is, but that person cannot improve your egg quality. They cannot improve your lining quality and they cannot rectify your husband's sperm DNA fragmentation. I can. So therefore, Michelle (04:37) Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Right. Mike berkley (05:03) We should work as a team. And I'm saying this to the patient, but I'm also saying it to society. And I'm saying it to reproductive endocrinologist. The best type of medicine is integrative medicine. You can do something I can't. I can do something you can't. Let's do this. Let's try again. Michelle (05:05) Right, 100%. Everybody has their blind spots, you know, and their strengths. I mean, we don't have the technology, we can't go in there and extract eggs. Right. Mike berkley (05:32) That's right, but who cares? You know, a good car mechanic can fix an engine, but it doesn't mean he can make an engine. So it doesn't matter that we don't have the technology. It doesn't matter that we're not reproductive endocrinologists. What matters is, is that for an IVF to work, you need four things. You need a good egg, a good sperm. Michelle (05:36) Right. Mm -hmm. Right. Mike berkley (06:00) And so the reproductive endocrinologist cannot offer a patient good eggs and good sperm and good line. In fact, there are patients that come to me and they say they have a five millimeter lining and the doctor will give them either transvaginal Viagra or something called Trentol and Neupogen. And these medications will thicken the lining and they still have implantation failure. Why? because a thick lining or within normal limits lining, a 10 millimeter lining doesn't convey that it's a good lining. Michelle (06:31) Definitely. And of course I've asked this question a lot. I love asking questions that I can answer them too, but obviously every acupuncturist says it in a different way. So, Mike berkley (06:38) So I think that as acupuncturists and herbalists, we have a lot to offer a patient suffering with infertility for sure. Michelle (07:00) I'd love for you to talk about how acupuncture and herbals can help somebody who's trying to conceive. Mike berkley (07:08) Sure. So I'm gonna kinda speak around a little bit, but it'll all make sense in the end. So blood is nothing other than a taxicab. Blood is nothing other than a messenger service. When we inhale, the oxygen gets into the blood and the body is oxygenated through blood flow. When we eat food, our nutrient products get into the bloodstream and nutrients are disseminated through the blood. FSH and LH coming from the pituitary get to the ovaries via the blood. And so I'm gonna step back for a second and say what I say to patients. You have a heart that's beating. It's disseminating blood throughout your body. But there are two things that are happening. Number one, that dissemination of blood is generalized. And number two, you're 40 years old. And your blood flow is not as good as it was when you were 20. And if you're not 40, you're 37 or you're 36. Same case. Your blood flow is not as good generally as it was when you were running around in the playground at nine years old. You exercise less, you do less in general, I'm speaking. And so now to acupuncture, what acupuncture does is it improves and elevates hemodynamics, which means blood flow. And when a patient says, well, my heart is doing that, though that's true, with the utilization of acupuncture, you're improving hemodynamics to a specific area, which is the ovaries. Michelle (08:57) Mm -hmm. Mike berkley (08:58) Blood, therefore, is you're increasing the delivery of oxygen, electrolytes, nutrients, and hormones to the ovarian milieu. Not only that, but you know when a taxi cab takes a passenger to the airport and the passenger gets out, the taxi cab doesn't want to drive back to the city empty. They want to take a passenger back to the city. It's a 45 minute trip from JFK to New York City to Manhattan. So they don't want to go back without a passenger. Well, blood is the same thing. So when you're increasing blood flow to the ovaries, you're delivering these essential products, but the blood is also picking up debris. What is debris? Debris are dead cells. Now, of course, during this conversation, both of us have lost a billion cells. They've died and they've regenerated. But what happens to the cells that die? Well, they get emitted through the sweating, exhalation, urination, defecation. This is how we get rid of toxins in the body. But again, because our digestive functions are not necessarily great, because our hemodynamics are not necessarily what they could be, by stimulating blood flow to the ovaries, you're delivering the good and helping to take back the bad which is the dead cells. So you're actually taking this garden that's not getting a lot of rain and it's not getting a lot of sunshine because the trees are like this over the garden. So when you're doing acupuncture herbs, you're cutting down the tops of these trees and you're going like this. So the garden is now getting all this sunshine and the rain is able to hit the flowers. And in a month, the flowers are joyous, beautiful, smiling, looking at everybody and winking at them and saying, hey, I'm a beautiful rose, look at me. And so that's kind of, I think that the analogy or the metaphor is to how acupuncture improves egg quality. And the same is true with sperm quality. You're causing improved and increased hemodynamics to the testes and the same thing happens as with the ovaries. So it's the testes and the ovaries are really homologues. They both do the same thing. One creates eggs, one creates sperm and... Michelle (11:09) Mm -hmm. Mike berkley (11:23) …stimulating blood there, we're improving the quality of the contents. Now let's talk about herbal medicine. So herbal medicine is much more sophisticated, in my humble opinion, than acupuncture. Acupuncture is very sophisticated and very effective in all areas, whether you have pain or infertility. But the thing about herbal medicine is that you can construct an herbal formula that specifically deals...with the overall presentation of the patient, in my opinion, in a more powerful, efficacious manner. So for example, if you have a patient with polycystic ovarian syndrome who's five foot five and weighs 250 pounds and she's 40 years old, and then you have a PCOS patient who's five foot five and she's 29 years old and she's 110 pounds, they're both suffering with... Michelle (11:56) you Mike berkley (12:23) lack of proper menstruation, they're both suffering with infertility. So when you use herbal medicine on those patients, you're not just treating PCOS, treating this woman who's 250 pounds, this woman who's 120 pounds, this woman who's 40 years old, this woman who's 29 years old. So the herbs are very pinpoint accurate in what they do and how they work. And... The beauty of herbal medicine is that one can create a very specific formula for this patient. So this patient is suffering with infertility, but she also has constipation and chronic headaches and... Michelle (12:56) you Mike berkley (13:05) She's got low back pain. So you can give her herbs to deal with all of that stuff. And so acupuncture is efficacious in the same manner. So really, what's the difference? So there's a couple of differences. As I said earlier, in the perspective of herbal medicine, you're taking it orally. It's internal medicine. It's having an effect on the organs, on the follicles. Michelle (13:16) you Mike berkley (13:34) the ovaries, on the testes, et cetera, et cetera. But I'm going to say something that's even more interesting. Let's say that you or I had a really bad headache. And we said to our partners, honey, I have a splitting headache. Could you please massage my shoulders and massage my head? It would really make me feel better. And our partners say, of course, of course. And they stand. I'm sitting in this chair and my wife comes. Michelle (13:46) you Mike berkley (14:03) me and starts to massage me and she's massaging my head and maybe in a half an hour I feel better. Let's retell that story. The same exact scenario except before my wife starts to work on me I take three Advil. Now what happens is instead of my headache dissipating in 30 minutes it dissipates in 15 minutes. Why? Michelle (14:22) you Mike berkley (14:32) because I'm being treated from the outside in, which is the massage, and I'm also being treated from the inside out, which is a three Advil. And so when you use these together, you're increasing the efficacy of the treatment. And so I think using acupuncture nerves together, they do similar things, but they also do different things, and they certainly potentiate each other's efficacy and power. Michelle (15:00) Yeah, for it's very complimentary. Now, typically somebody comes to you and says, I'm starting IVF in a month. Sometimes I'm like, okay, I kind of wish you came here a couple of months before. So for people who are listening, if they want to prepare for IVF or really just prepare their body and their egg quality, how early... should they come to you? Like how long does it take really for everything to take effect? Mike berkley (15:30) So it's a great question. So again, I'm going to talk about sperm and egg. Again, the similarity is quite fascinating. It takes three months for a spermatogonia, an immature sperm, to reach a mature sperm. And it takes three months for a primordial follicle, which is...speck of dust to turn into a 20 millimeter follicle. It is the 20 millimeter follicle that the egg is retrieved from. So three months before a transfer is the, you know, is the gold standard. It's the best thing to do. But what I will say to patients, because I get this kind of situation all the time, is listen, you're having a cycle, you're having a transfer next month. That's okay. Let's start tomorrow. Yeah, but you just told me it takes three months. No, no, no, no, I understand. But let's start tomorrow. I'm going to tell you why. If you do the transfer and it works, you've thrown out a couple of hundred dollars on some sessions. So what? I'm going to continue to treat you twice a week for 13 weeks to help prevent miscarriage. Why for 13 weeks? Because 90 % of miscarriages occur viable for the 12th week. In the event, in the most unfortunate event, Michelle (16:29) you Mike berkley (16:52) that the cycle fails. We've already started treating you now. So then in the subsequent cycle or the cycle subsequent to that, you'll have much better egg quality. You know, I don't know if you know Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors in the history of America. And somebody said to him one time, Mr. Buffett, when is the best time to invest in the stock market? And he said, today. And the point of the story is you can't really time the market. Invest if it's high, invest if it's low, dollar cost average. Invest 100 bucks every month for the rest of your life and you'll be okay. And so that's kind of like this. Invest in the treatment even though your transfer isn't a month. Doesn't work out? Okay, we've still improved follicular quality. Does work out? It's all good. I'm gonna continue to treat you twice a week for 13 weeks. You're gonna have a baby. Michelle (17:47) Yeah. That's a good perspective for sure. yeah, I mean, what are some of the things that you see? Cause cause I feel like the way we're living right now is impacting our bodies in so many ways. And Chinese medicine, really the heart of it is living in accordance with nature, living in accordance with our own nature. And what happens is when we live outside of that and against our normal flow, that's when we start to get patterns and symptoms. So living in New York, I remember having a lot of really kind of like climbing an uphill battle because it is go, go, go. And so some of the things that I tell people who are not close to here, wanted to get coaching calls is even getting a grounding matter somehow finding ways to living in more flow. And what are some of the things that you see? Mike berkley (18:43) So I think everything that you just said is true, real and valid. However, I'd like to say that unfortunately, and remember, this is to the listening audience. This is my opinion only. I do feel it's next to impossible to get to one's nature. I do think it's next to impossible to be really settled, really like, able to exhale. Why do I say this? I say this because the world is at war, because there is intense poverty, there's joblessness, there's crime, there's all kinds of negative things. Of course there's many beautiful things, but there's many negative things. And so how can people possibly exhale? So it's very difficult to become kind of, you know, one with nature and one with yourself and this kind of thing. I do think, however, that even though it's difficult to achieve, that the achieving is not the goal. The trying is the goal. The journey is the goal. One will probably never reach the destination, but it's okay because through the journey one's psychic and mental and emotional and physical health can improve. So even though I don't see a path to ultimate improvement, I don't see a path to ultimate health, I do think that there is a mind -body connection for sure. It's completely unassailable. And I think that people, I don't really get involved with this kind of thing too much in my own practice. I'm very, very clinical, but that doesn't mean that I don't totally embrace what you're saying. I think people should do yoga. I think they should meditate. Listen, I'll tell you an example of exactly, I'll put a patient in the room and I'll come to take the patient out and she's laying on the table with the cell phone. You know, this is terribly destructive to the patient and he or she doesn't understand that. And I'll say to them, listen, you have 30 minutes of your entire life that you cannot be bothered by anybody. You can just be free. You're in this room on this table with beautiful music and it's a lovely room and you're taken care of here. Michelle (20:53) yeah. Mike berkley (21:22) put the phone down, man, and B, and it's really hard because people need that constant stimulation. I need it. The first thing I do when I wake up is I check my phone at 6 .15 in the morning. You know, it's mental illness. It's mental illness. It's craziness. But I do think that trying to be at peace is very important, not only for fertility, Michelle (21:26) Yeah. It's an addiction for sure. Yeah. Mike berkley (21:49) but for life, for happiness, for joy. And so, as I say, I don't have meditation classes here or yoga classes here, but I strongly recommend that patients do engage in those activities. And I also think people should go to the gym. I think people should work out three days a week. Michelle (22:09) yeah. Mike berkley (22:10) and work out pretty hard. I don't mean hard like a professional athlete, but you know, don't get on the treadmill for five minutes. Like work. You know, listen, we have this thing called liver -chi stagnation, right? It means that, you know, the chi is stuck and people are stuck. And as a result of being stuck, inflammation occurs and they're angry and they get headaches and they're bitter. Guess what happens to the stuck chi when you move, when you exercise, the chi becomes unstuck and the Michelle (22:37) Right, yeah. Mike berkley (22:39) Exercise makes you feel better psycho -emotionally and when you feel better psycho -emotionally, you'll be better off physically Michelle (22:47) 100%. I remember, so when I was in New York in the craziness just over firm, you know, that's the only way you can really survive there. You have to like show that you're a good quality employee. And I remember I found Acupuncture and what I found that it gave me is this flow. in my life where I was able to still withstand and have that pressure, but I felt more resilient. It like, it increased my ability to adapt more than anything else has. And that was one of the things that I was so amazed by. But then it really made me realize whole beings that have so many different aspects to ourselves and how one... part, if we work on our own energetic frequency and chi, it impacts our life and it impacts our how we can think and how we feel. Mike berkley (23:47) I agree with you. You know, another problem that I see quite frequently is, you know, there were two kinds of patients. There are patients that are very self -aware, and they exercise and they meditate and they do yoga and they eat properly. And then there are patients that they may not be overweight, but they don't eat well. You know, they drink Coca -Cola and they eat French fries and listen, guess what? There's nothing wrong with drinking a Coca -Cola and having French fries, you know, once every two months, once a month. It's all good. Chinese medicine is about yin and yang. What does yin and yang mean? Balance. It's all good. But when you have French fries and burger and ice cream tonight, you smoke a joint tomorrow and you, you know, you don't go to the gym for three days. You know, this just... Michelle (24:07) Mm -hmm. Mike berkley (24:36) it's just going to have negative attributes. It's going to create negative outcomes, certainly physically. So I try to encourage patients to eat properly and I try to give them some type of helpful diet plan if I think they need it. But I think nutrition and diet are very important for health in general. And certainly in the world of infertility, many of the Many of the causative factors can really be, I don't want to get too technical, but they can kind of originate with what's called free radicals, reactive oxidative species, and these things cause inflammation in the body. And if you have inflammation in the uterus or inflammation in the testes, inflammation in the testes kills sperm. Inflammation in the uterus is going to kill an embryo. So we need to be careful about what we're eating from the inflammatory point of view. You know, the inflammation point. Michelle (25:37) Right. Yeah. Gut health is everything. interesting how the spleen and stomach are center. That's their location. The direction is center because, and it really is, it's such a symbol of how important it is in creating blood. And actually speaking of blood flow that you were talking about before, did you ever see, there was something on Instagram, somebody took a sample of blood before and after acupuncture. it was shocking. Like you could see it literally move everything that you learn in textbook about how it improves chi and flow. You could see the blood cells being a little bit more stuck together from the before. They're a little more stuck together and very slow moving. The after the blood cells not only are not stuck together, but they're more round. Mike berkley (26:30) Interesting. Michelle (26:30) They're more round and they're moving fast and flowing. They're not right next to each other. It's crazy. And that was mind boggling. And I actually, so I shared it on my Instagram. I'll forward you the link. And I shared it on my Instagram. And interestingly enough, I had a lot of acupunctures, because we all learn this in theory. That's the theory. We don't really often see this with our own eyes. So I think that a lot of Mike berkley (26:45) Please. Michelle (27:00) acupuncturists that saw this were like blown away. They're like, my God, this is exactly what it says in the textbook. And to actually see it with your own eyes is amazing. Mike berkley (27:09) So I'm going to share a little story with you that's completely apropos of the story that you just told I'm going to tell you a story that's a little bit different than what you told me, but it's the exact same outcome. So about 10 years ago or 12 years ago, there was a study done. First of all, let me talk about the uterine artery impedance index. The uterine artery impedance index is an index that determines the flow through of blood through the uterine artery. Uterine artery at its end point has branches that come out and enervate the ovaries. So the ovaries are getting their blood through the uterine artery. And so the more patent and effective the uterine artery is, the more blood will get to the ovaries. And so there was this little study done. where they did a transvaginal ultrasound with a color doppler. And for the listeners who don't understand that, you know, when you have an ultrasound and the doctor looks at the monitor, it's all black and white and gray. But with a color doppler, the monitor is color. You can see all color. It's not just gray. And so they did these transvaginal ultrasounds with a color doppler to determine the uterine artery impedance index. The higher the index, the lower the amount of flow through of blood through the uterine artery. So they took a bunch of women, they did this and they wrote down the uterine artery impedance index numbers. and by the way, when they did the transvaginal ultrasound, you could either see no blood or just a little blood in the uterus, in the uterine lining. Then acupuncture was given to the patient and... Michelle (28:37) Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mike berkley (29:00) 25 minutes after acupuncture was done, they repeated the transvaginal ultrasound with a color Doppler and two things happened. The uterine artery impedance index dropped like three or four points and you could actually see a red line right across the uterus. So you could actually perfectly well see evidence of enhanced blood flow into the uterine environment which you know, really I'm talking about the ovarian environment, but you don't see it on the ovaries, you see it on the uterus. And it was fantastic. So it's exactly what you're saying, a little bit of a different study, but the same outcome. Michelle (29:43) more specific to fertility. Yeah, that's amazing. Wow, incredible. So fascinating. I mean, it is really fascinating when we get to see with our own eyes, something that has been, you know, taught for thousands of years, and to actually see science and you know, I look also housing the mind Mike berkley (29:45) Absolutely. Yeah. Pardon. Michelle (30:04) that also reflect that in modern science, but the heart math and the heart -brain coherence that they're finding is pretty much proving the whole idea of the heart housing the mind. Mike berkley (30:04) you So I don't even, I don't know anything about this. This is all brand new news to me, but it sounds really fascinating. I love. Michelle (30:22) Yeah. It is. And this is why I love talking to acupuncturists. Cause you just told me something that I did not, I thought I heard about it, but I didn't hear it in that detail. And I'm learning so much talking you. So this is why I love coming together with fellow acupuncturists because I always, always learn something new. Mike berkley (30:44) as do I from you, thank Michelle (30:46) of course I could talk to you for But I would love for you to can people find you or find more about you? Mike berkley (30:53) Yeah, thank you so course, I'm Mike Berkeley and my website is berkeleycenter .com, which is B -E -R -K -L -E -Ycenter .com. And I'm happy to speak to anybody, answer anybody's questions. There's no charge for that. And I'm a plain, simple, down to earth guy. And I'm just here to help people. Michelle (30:55) Yeah. Yeah. You got the New Yorker mentality that I miss that I'll be honest, the culture of New York, I really miss since I've moved. So it kind of brings me back home to like, you know, the accent and all that. So Mike, it was great meeting you. I really enjoyed our conversation and thank you so much for coming on today. Mike berkley (31:35) Well, I want to say it was an absolute pleasure and an honor to meet you. I enjoyed our conversation so much and thank you so much again for having me as a guest. I'm grateful.
