— The Chinese pattern theory says we must keep the body's subtle channels clear in order for qi— vital energy—to flow freely and unencumbered. We must take care to nourish the energy, cultivate it by not going over or under. This means not overdoing things: stressing, worrying, spending, eating, or exercising. It also means not underdoing things either: not giving enough attention to sleep, rest, play, meditation, or connecting with the people we love. The middle path, which is the Tao, keeps us balanced—not too tight, not too loose. Valeria Teles interviews Dr. Denise Wiesner — the author of “Conceiving with Love: A Whole-Body Approach to Creating Intimacy, Reigniting Passion, and Increasing Fertility.” Dr. Denise Wiesner DACM, L.

Using a combination of acupuncture, diet and lifestyle counseling, nutritional supplements, and Chinese herbs, Denise has helped thousands of couples navigate the tricky, and often stressful, journey toward fertility, without losing their loving connection. She has a Bachelor's of Science in Exercise Kinesiology (UCLA), a Master of Arts in traditional Chinese medicine (Emperor's College), a Doctorate from Pacific College of Health and Science. She is also a certified sex coach and board-certified by the State of California and the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM). Denise teaches professional seminars to medical doctors, OB/GYNs, and nurse midwives on the application of Chinese medicine in obstetrics and gynecology and has published articles on acupuncture and infertility. In addition to a thriving private practice, Denise lectures at conferences, works closely with reproductive endocrinologists.  In her spare time, she relishes practicing yoga, dancing, and playing guitar.  She loves to travel and hang out with her two sons, Noah and Ethan and Peetie her cockatoo.  To learn more about Dr. Denise Wiesner and her work, please visit: denisewiesner.com and naturalhealingacupuncture.com       — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Denise Wiesner, fertility and intimacy expert, gets real with us about how struggles with fertility can cause shame and dissolve intimacy. Sex can become associated with failure or loss after infertility. Making a baby can take center stage and we can lose the intimacy behind it all. She shares with us what to do when you feel like your body isn't yours anymore. Let's be honest, we all want to learn more about how to keep things alive in the bedroom with your partner. Especially after we start having children. I am usually a bit shy about this topic - but I felt so comfortable with Denise and was fascinated with the information she shared!

As founder of The Fertility Effect™ and The Fertile Collective™, De’Nicea inspires women seeking holistic methods to support their quest not only for period relief or positive pregnancy test, but for a more aligned and empowered whole Self.While women have been searching all over for the answers to her questions about her period and fertility health, De’Nicea helps her see that the answers have been within her the whole time. She just needs to know how to access and interpret it.From this new perspective, she begins to create a life FOR her instead of allowing things to happen TO her, taking a more active role in her healthcare and well-being.De’Nicea leads women to shift their relationship with their cycle to one of Self-Guided Direction – detecting cues and listening to messages of what her Mind, Body and Spirit are saying she needs.There are common misconceptions about menstrual cycles where girls and women are taught to accept certain symptoms as "normal" when really they're messages of health - holistically. Providers quickly prescribe birth control which can have major side effects on a growing girl's body and some stay on it for decades after. Or, parents/guardians are unfamiliar with how to help young ladies who begin menstruating, especially if they're nervous to talk about the possibility of pregnancy. Today our listeners will learn what are some of these common misconceptions about the menstrual cycle and what can be done to encourage girls to have a healthy relationship with her cycle. They'll also learn how to begin key steps to beginning to interpret the messages her cycle is telling her about her health and well-being.It's important that girls become cycle aware and develop a relationship with their cycles. The relationship she develops begins with how she is taught. Girls who know more cycle awareness, grows more confident and her esteem increases. Also, this positions her to set different standards for herself and those she allows in her life.For more information on De’Nicea you can find her at http://www.deniceahilton.com

Interview with Katherine Alexander Anderson Katherine (MBA, DACM, LAc, FABORM) entered into the study and practice of TCM for infertility through her own personal experience with reproductive challenges. She has an extensive background in the medical field and has operated reproductive health clinics in both New Hampshire and Maine for the last decade. In this interview she highlights her clinical knowledge of treating couples with unexplained infertility with 'Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine'. As the president of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) she is a strong advocate for patients utilizing properly certified TCM reproductive health specialists when choosing this avenue of care.   ~ Spence Email katherine@rhythmsforwomen.com Websites http://www.rhythmsforwomen.com http://www.thefertiletruth.com Professional Profile Bachelor of Science, Health Management & Policy, University of New Hampshire Master of Business Administration, University of New Hampshire Masters of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, New England School of Acupuncture Doctorate of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, Pacific College of Oriental Medicine PhD Candidate, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Licensed to practice Chinese medicine in Maine and New Hampshire Professional Achievements Founded almost 10 years ago, and still operating today, a very busy fertility and women's health TCM clinic. I founded this at a time when many said you couldn't just specialize in fertility and women's health and you had to treat everything to survive. I said "if you don't specialize, you won't specialize:". If I you want to know a lot about something then you have to put your heart and soul into learning everything you can. So I did.  Taking over ABORM after the death of the founder was a huge challenge. I was honored that Ray knew I could do it based on my business degree/experience and success running my own clinic, but to do and do it well during a time of grieving by a membership that respected him was uniquely challenging . There were a lot of sleepless nights and stressful days feeling the pressure to ensure the organization survived. My leadership skills just instinctively took over and I developed a foundational structure for the organization that hadn't existed before so that it could withstand the current team and time.  I am honored that at this point in my career I have been asked to share some of my knowledge and wisdom with others. I have been asked to speak again at TCM Kongress for the 3rd time next year, recently spoke at the Evidence Based Acupuncture Symposium to help spread awareness of the research surrounding our profession and just completed writing an article in the Journal of Chinese Medicine on Unexplained Infertility that was a rewarding experience. I am passionate about our medicine and its ability to help fertility patients and love being a conduit, spreading the word in any way possible whether speaking to groups of patients or practitioners.

I am super excited to be here today to talk about ...are you ready for this …..our Periods!  For this, we have the pleasure of speaking with De-Nicea Hilton. Saving uteruses and making babies is the life of De’Nicea Hilton, Period & Fertility Strategist and Doctor of Oriental Medicine. She works with women who are calling out of work or canceling plans to only be stuck in bed all day curled up with a heating pad taking medication after medication to alleviate her pain from her period. Or, she has been trying so hard to have a baby getting test after test and spending thousands on fertility treatments to no avail and to only be left confused when she’s been told everything looks normal. Through her endeavors, De’Nicea is providing other options to help women preserve their uterus and optimize fertility holistically. De’Nicea Hilton is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and NCCAOM Board Certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine certified in Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) and serves women online as well as in her Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine practice in Temple Terrace, FL.

Interview with Lee Hullender Rubin, DAOM, LAc, FABORM Lee is clearly a decorated mover and shaker (see CV below). She is playing such a huge role in furthering the understanding of how Chinese medicine as a whole (which includes but is not limited to acupuncture) can help improve IVF success rates.  Her research is pioneering and is the first to attempt to capture the true holistic essence and power of Chinese medicine, so that healthcare providers and women struggling to get pregnant can more deeply trust and embrace this wonderful resource.  If you haven't done so already, it's time to find yourself a Chinese medicine doctor with experience in reproductive health.  ~ Spence Email drlhrubin@me.com Website http://www.pdxacustudio.com Professional Profile Began practice in Washington state in 2002, and currently has an active license in Oregon since 2011.  Awaiting news of California License.
