NEW PODCAST EPISODE

In this episode, I’m joined by Brendan O'Brien, fertility specialist and author of Getting Pregnant When the Body Says No.

This is a grounded, thoughtful conversation about fertility that goes beyond protocols and timelines.

We explore:
• Why the body may resist pregnancy despite “normal” tests
• The role of stress, energy availability, and physiology in fertility
• How unresolved metabolic, immune, and nervous system patterns can block conception
• Why forcing the body rarely works — and what supporting it properly looks like

Fertility is not just about hormones.
It’s about whether the body feels safe, nourished, and resourced enough to conceive.

This episode will resonate with:
• Couples trying to conceive
• Clinicians working in fertility or women’s health
• Anyone interested in a more respectful, root-cause approach to the body

Available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple podcast.

Healing doesn’t happen on just one level.
Sometimes symptoms persist not because the body is broken, but because the issue isn’t purely physical. Emotional load, chronic stress, unresolved experiences, and even inherited biological patterns can shape how the body adapts over time.
When something won’t shift despite doing “all the right things,” it may be a sign that healing needs to happen at a different level, neurological, emotional, psychological, or even epigenetic.
The body remembers what once kept us safe.
Healing begins when safety is restored.

Cold Outside. Deep Healing Inside.
As the days get colder and darker, your body works harder to stay warm, recover, and stay resilient.
That’s where infrared sauna therapy becomes more than a luxury, it becomes supportive medicine.
At The Functional Naturopathic Clinic, our infrared sauna is used not just to warm the body, but to support:
• circulation & cardiovascular health
• detoxification through gentle sweating
• muscle & joint recovery
• nervous system calming
• immune resilience during winter months
• deep relaxation and stress release
Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat warms you from the inside out, making it easier to tolerate, more restorative, and ideal for people who don’t enjoy extreme heat.
It’s one of the simplest ways to:
– warm up on a cold day
– unwind a stressed nervous system
– support recovery without strain
Sometimes the most powerful medicine is simply giving the body the right environment to heal.

In this in-depth episode of The Integrative Continuum Podcast, Dr. Richard Rocker is joined by Dr. Rob Douglas, a GMC-registered medical doctor with over 20 years of experience in hospital medicine, general practice, and functional medicine.
Together, they explore why the current healthcare model struggles with chronic disease, why patients feel unheard, and how a systems-based, integrative approach offers a more complete and humane path forward, for both patients and clinicians.
This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about medicine’s limitations, its future, and how we can bridge conventional and functional approaches without ideology or dogma.

Podcast out tomorrow with Dr Rob Douglas
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Rob Douglas to explore how functional and integrative medicine bridges the gap between conventional diagnostics and root-cause clinical thinking. We discuss testing, interpretation, clinical responsibility, and why more doctors are recognising the need to move beyond symptom management toward systems-based care.
If you’re a clinician, health professional, or someone who wants a deeper understanding of why health breaks down, this one’s for you.
Releasing tomorrow

Functional. Integrative. Natural Medicine.
At The Functional Naturopathic Clinic, we don’t chase symptoms,

Our work combines:
• Advanced blood chemistry analysis
• Root-cause functional medicine
• Osteopathic & soft tissue care
• Metabolic, hormonal, and energy-based optimisation
Every plan is personalised, evidence-informed, and focused on restoring function rather than masking problems.
