Natural conception should be a given for every species, yet one in six couples in the USA experience infertility. Learn from Dr. Koopersmith how toxins in our environment, the food we eat, the medications we take, and our lifestyle affects fertility and women’s health.

Let this Valentine’s Day be the day YOU PRIORITIZE YOU. It is not selfish to practice self-care. When you take care of yourself completely, you will have more energy and more love and be around longer for your loved ones. So, in practicing self-love, you are really loving your family, friends, partners and community.

I like to explain that the human body is not much different from your favorite tree. To flourish, a tree needs sunlight, water and nutrients. We humans are NO different than trees.

As a human, we have four bodies, not just one body. We have a mind body, a physical body, an emotional body and an energetic body. For every experience, we have a thought, image (or smell, touch, taste, sound), an emotion and a body sensation. The thought is but one part of the experience.

Why do we persist in seeing dualities if oneness is a universal truth? The mind’s job is to think and to divide. In fact, the mind demands internal order, untangling a bowl of spaghetti. The mind organizes and deciphers patterns and codes. But the mind-body is just one part of us. The mind incorrectly hijacks our thoughts and tells us falsely that “we” are “the mind”. But we are so much more than the mind.

My belief is that all dualities, while appearing to be complementary and opposites, are all really just ONE. Two seemingly opposing forces are really the two halves of a coin. Oneness exists in all things; duality is an artificial construct created by our minds. We humans desperately try to ignore this instinct — we spend so much energy on distraction and trying to avoid the darkness. We invented fire and light to avoid listening to our body rhythms.
