    Quantum Biology and Fertility: How Mitochondria & Light Affect Your Journey

    Egg Meets Sperm, the best podcast to guide you through your fertility journey holistically because fertility takes two! In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Catherine Clinton, a quantum biology expert, to dive into how quantum principles like energy, light, and mitochondrial health play a crucial role in fertility. Dr. Catherine Clinton, licensed naturopathic physician, spent over 15 years helping people overcome their health issues. Diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease while in medical school, she began the long and difficult journey of healing- a path that led to the commitment to help others to not only heal physically but to return to the relationships we evolved over millennia with for a deeper sense of health and belonging. By healing herself and patients like her, she discovered that true health comes from our relationships. Dr. Catherine has learned how our quantum biological system is intimately and inseparably connected to the world around us. Our relationship with the dirt beneath our feet, the sun, the wind, the water, the plants, the seasons, each other- that is the real medicine. Her mission is to empower as many people as she can with this knowledge to encourage the paradigm shift, we so desperately need. Key topics covered: What is quantum biology and how does it affect fertility?The role of mitochondria in fertility and hormone productionHow natural and artificial light impacts your reproductive healthThe importance of circadian rhythms and melatonin in fertilityThe connection between microbiomes, mitochondria, and fertilityTools and therapies for enhancing mitochondrial function and fertility Follow Dr Clinton on Instagram @dr.catherineclinton Let’s chat!
