In this conversation, Nicole Lange, founder of Life Healing Life, discusses her journey into acupuncture and women's healthcare, focusing on the integration of traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical practices. She highlights the emotional and psychological challenges women face during fertility treatments, including the prevalence of PTSD. Lange emphasizes the importance of holistic approaches that consider both physical and emotional health, advocating for trauma-informed care and the need for better education in fertility and reproductive health. The discussion also touches on the financial burdens of fertility treatments and the cultural perceptions surrounding them, as well as the significance of couples therapy in navigating these challenges together.

Bio of our guest:

Nicole Lange is an acupuncturist and thought leader who's pioneered trauma-informed fertility care since 2006—and she’s passionate about addressing what happens to relationships during the fertility journey and the ripples it makes (for better or worse).

Nicole leads the conversation around the shocking reality that nearly 50% of women in fertility treatment develop PTSD regardless of whether they conceive. Research shows couples who undergo failed fertility treatments are more than twice as likely to divorce—not because treatment failed, but because typical fertility care breaks down both individuals AND their relationships.

Nicole's revolutionary approach integrates cutting-edge nervous system science with Traditional Chinese Medicine to prevent treatment-induced trauma while supporting couples through one of the most challenging experiences they'll face together. Her work serves all types of couples and relationships, teaching how to stay connected when you're on completely different pages about next steps, how to maintain intimacy when fertility becomes the third person in your relationship, and how to navigate this journey without sacrificing your partnership.

With nearly 20 years of clinical experience and outcomes that consistently surpass published studies, Nicole pioneers the best of both worlds—classic holistic practice integrated with modern science.
