    86: Bridging Science and Spirituality: Understanding Complexity with Dr. Neil Theise

    Join us as we dive into the fascinating mind of Dr. Neil Theise, a pathologist and professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, whose groundbreaking research spans from the discovery of the interstitium to the study of complexity theory and consciousness.  In this episode, Dr. Theise shares with Dr. Lorne Brown his  insights from his book, "Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being," discussing how the interstitium acts as a bridge between different healing paradigms and how complexity theory explains everything from biology to human behavior. We also explore how quantum physics, consciousness, and interconnectedness are deeply woven into our understanding of health and well-being. Key takeaways:  The interstitium is a crucial fluid-filled network throughout the body, linking different healing systems. Complexity theory reveals the interconnected nature of life. Our consciousness may be intrinsic to the structure of the universe. Eastern and Western medicine have more commonalities than differences when viewed through the interstitium. Embracing unpredictability is vital for adaptability in life and health. Dr. Neil Theise Bio: Dr. Neil Theise is a medical doctor. He is a pathologist as well as professor of pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Through his scientific research, he has been a pioneer of adult stem cell plasticity and the anatomy of the human interstitium.

    84: Embryosophy Unveiled: Dr. Jaap van der Wal on Spirituality and the Human Embryo

    In this fascinating episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown is joined by Dr. Jaap van der Wal, Ph.D., a medical doctor and renowned expert in embryology and anatomy. Dr. van der Wal brings a unique perspective to the study of the human embryo, not just as a biological entity but as a spiritual being that develops through a profound process involving both body and consciousness.  Dr. van der Wal introduces us to his philosophy of "Embryosophy," where he applies the Goethean phenomenological approach to human embryology, viewing the embryo as a reflection of spiritual and physical forces working in unison. He delves into the idea that conception is not merely a biological act but a spiritual event where the body and soul unite. We also discuss the powerful symbolism of birth as a process of death and rebirth, the connection between embryology and life’s larger spiritual questions, and the lessons we can learn from our own development in the womb. Key takeaways: The human embryo represents the union of body, spirit, and consciousness. Conception involves not just biology but the connection of spirit. Birth symbolizes a "death" from the placenta, a transition to the next phase of life. Our bodies are continuously shaped by spiritual forces throughout life. Studying embryology reveals profound lessons about balance and purpose in life. Dr. Japp Van Der Wal’s Bio:  Jaap Van Der Wal, Ph.D., is a retired medical doctor and former associate professor of Anatomy and Embryology at Maastricht University. His expertise lies in functional anatomy, connective tissue, fascia, and proprioception. His passion is human embryology, viewing the body as a process developing over time. He applies Goethean phenomenology and dynamic morphology to explore the embryo's role in human existence. Since retirement, he has focused on his project "Embryo in Motion," teaching his approach, "Embryosophy," in Europe and the USA in fields like craniosacral therapy, osteopathy, and prenatal psychology.
