MEET TODAY’S GUEST:
From the gritty streets of Detroit to the transformative world of holistic healing, my journey has been anything but linear. As a chiropractor, healer, and guide, I’ve embraced the fluidity of being what my clients need—whether that’s a structural realignment, functional medicine insights, or a connection to something deeper.
My path was shaped by resilience—a childhood of survival, a serendipitous fall that introduced me to chiropractic care, and a career that evolved from working in mental health wards to unlocking the body’s innate potential through neurofeedback, genetics, and hands-on healing.
Guided by spirit, science, and an unshakable commitment to well-being, I stand as both student and teacher, continuously expanding my toolkit to serve those seeking balance, relief, and transformation. Your body tells a story—I’ve learned its language, and I’m here to help you listen.

Individualized care is essential for effective treatment of chronic fertility issues.
Hi guys, thank you so much for being here to another episode of Natural Fertility with Dr. Jane. Today I'm joined by a very special guest, Dr. Stephanie Remka. Thank you so much for being here. I loved, loved, loved, loved your self. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. And I think that's the presentation where I had to walk away and get outside for a walk because it was so touching and so moving. So thank you for being here. Tell everybody who you are. For those of you, they don't know who you are.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:My pleasure.
Yeah, and a lot of people probably wouldn't because I'm not known for fertility. I joked with a friend when I sent a text and I've been on quite a few fertility podcasts in the last few years and I'm like, I'm not real sure why they think I can do this. mean, do I just ooze fertility or something? I'm not, know, like it's not my specialty even though I have helped many, many couples get pregnant that couldn't. And it's not that I'm so magical. It's just that maybe can hear things.
that maybe there are other clinicians are not attuned to. So it does make sense. the speech you saw.
to functional doctors was a little bit off to the side because it was a very emotional, although I'm a trauma specialist, ultimately have diverse background, started in a mental hospital with schizophrenics. I became a chiropractor. I'm board certified in neurofeedback. I specialize in electromagnetic medicines and peptide therapy for people with autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, things like that, dissociative identity, alcoholics, drug addicts. I like the people that society
has thrown away and given up on.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Did you know you were going to end up in that space?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Everybody expected me to go into sports medicine because I was a good athlete, I was college athlete. It seemed like it would make sense. I should work with a pro team or something.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Sure. It's funny, I thought that was for myself as well, that I was going to be a physiotherapist and I was going to work with athletes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, orthopedic surgeon was where the track seemed to have make sense. But I just kept taking all these psychology courses every single semester. ultimately, my college was a small private liberal arts school, pushed out the most positions in the state of Michigan, where I'm from, best biology in the state. And we didn't do minors. But if I had been at a state school, I would have been a psychology minor. I would have been a triple major.
I just kept taking them. And so my psychology, one of my professors pulled me aside. He's like, so you know the only thing that's keeping you from being a major is the statistics class. I'm like, well, I don't want to take a math class. He's like, but if you did and did that, you could act. I'm like, I don't need to add another. I don't need this. don't need another diploma. I just love it. And so he's like, well, why do you keep doing it? I just think the nature of my family, my father, my...
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:My mom and dad were married. My father robbed a bank. My mom was pregnant with me. So it is very significant that my father went to prison when I was in the womb. And I'm the youngest of four children. And so obviously I'm feeling everything that she went through at that time. She's a very strong woman, but I can only imagine the fear. She had three children under seven and then pregnant with her fourth. And her husband makes a very bad decision.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:I know.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:to rob a bank with his brother. My uncles had already robbed multiple banks. They were a bank robbing gang. And my dad was kind of jealous of that. And so he wanted to get in on the game. Not real bright. So life was very disheveled. So I grew up going to prisons my whole life, visiting my father. And you just kind of.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Different things happened because of that. I grew up in a very poor, rough neighborhood. My mother had to bartend. I had to watch. just sit in bars my whole life, playing pool, watching how she was being treated. Led to some just poor decisions by my brothers that it was very hard to have your father in prison. No joke. It was not the easiest thing for other kids and families to accept about you. We were kind of the untouchables in many ways.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:black, white, and Indian. That's again, very untouchable. You're the other for every category. So I was kind of always that. And my brothers ended up, one became a drug addict on crack cocaine, spent 15 years in prison, another one an alcoholic, multiple DUIs, a year in jail for that.
So life was very rough. had drug dealers coming in the house at me at 12 years old. had guns pointed in my face multiple times as a child. I had to carry a gun to go play baseball by the time I was 12 years old. So this was just the nature of Detroit and how I grew up. It made total sense then. I kind of was on a mission. I wanted to save my family, get my father out of prison. So I was thought I was going to be an attorney, but he hates them so much. Then you can't become an attorney because daddy won't love you anymore, right?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:So it was, think, ultimately, I was trying to do this to help people in prison, to help my father. But then that became very hard to figure out, so I realized I could help the kids. If I could get to the kids that were like my brother, who were dyslexic.
nobody knew what this was in: Dr. Jane Levesque (:Turn on.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:So that's how I ended up here.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:That's, yeah, it all makes sense. Like I always just try, like how did this person get here and how did they get so good at connecting to a certain type of person? And it's really, I think comes down to understanding that person really, really well. And so if you grew up seeing that, then it's, you know, it just fits.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, the first time I had a gun put on me, actually, I was nine months old and it was by my own grandmother. So she was going to kill my mother and all of us because she thought my mother very religious. She was drunk with a gun. So my grandmother was definitely mentally ill as well. And I just grew up with this as like somewhat of the normal. You know, I didn't really, so I understand that a therapist.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Totally normal.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, she was like, so who in the family had a personality disorder? I said, what? goes, you had to grow up with it because you would never be this good with it. Like, you are extraordinary at this. Like, you just know. I'm like.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And so most likely my grandmother who it was rough, but she just was convinced my mother must have been a whore or a prostitute. Like she thought she must be running. Oh, this is a whore house and these children, this is Satan, the devil has come into this home. And somehow my mother talked all of us getting out of that house and talked her down and got that gun.
and was able to eventually maintain a relationship and took care of her mother when she died. Like, that's my mother too. Like she can handle it despite that. So, be very strong.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Thanks.
Mm-hmm. That's a strong woman. Yeah. When did you turn, because I love what you said. think it's, for me, the addiction stuff didn't, I always looked down on it. As, you know, it's like, there's something wrong, or like they're lazy, or they're, the mental disease, or even just like, when I moved to Vancouver, BC for my schooling, and I saw so much homelessness, this is the first time where I'm like, I need to understand this. And then I started to stumble more.
on Gabor Mate's work. And this is when it was like, this is so much deeper than just judging this person who essentially took one wrong step or, you know what I mean? Like they fell into the bad crowd. When did your perception change? Or maybe it was always that like, hey, this person is actually struggling and that's why they have the addiction as opposed to they're bad is how most of society sees it.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I think I was, whether I was born with it, I don't know, but certainly my mother cultivated it and cultured it because she never spoke ill of our father. He's a good man, he made a mistake. And I went to prison, I literally visited federal prisons my whole life and we visited and it was just, that's how it was. And then many times my father would have a friend.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Hmm. Yeah. Ugh, that's huge.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I'm gonna say Duke was a very common one. And so you're allowed so many visitors, we would split our visits. So she would be her and four kids. And we would, one of us would visit Duke. So Duke could come out of the cell and he could get a break and he could have a visitor. So we even visited my dad's friends at the same time. So she was even taking care of his friends. And even after my mother divorced him, he was out for nine months, he got parole and he broke it.
Nine short months in the fourth grade. And then she divorced him. She finally was, to move on with her life. But every time she still took, she had to still take us back all the time. You can't go to prison to visit your dad at 10. You know, like you can't go alone. You have to have your mother. She would put her wedding ring back on every single time. In that visiting room, the sign was his wife is here. To make sure he still looked good.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:and
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:So she understood this very well and we were just raised with, you don't look down on anybody. Like everybody could make a mistake and that doesn't mean they're a bad person. You don't throw people away. It's just not the nature of how I was raised.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:God, the value. That's amazing. Your mom sounds like an incredible woman. Yeah. So now that you're... How many years have you been in practice?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:very much so.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:25.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:25, my, you look 25. So how does that? I mean, honestly though, so many, like your skin is radiant. And when you're like, I don't even, how old did you say you, I remember on stage? 52. How is it just the peptides? Is it just the natural medicine and all of the things?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:52.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Well, I think it's...
several things. So one, think it's nutrient density and I consider everything nutrients. know, sunlight is a nutrient, grounding is a nutrient, music is a nutrient, orgasms are the greatest nutrient for a woman that ever, ever been created. So I eat a lot of steak, I eat a lot of oysters, it's about it. And I sleep well, sleep is a nutrient, but love and touch and pleasure.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:movement. are nutrients. So I work really hard to fill my cup up with nutrition and I work really hard to let my soul be the voice that is speaking. So authenticity to me is an alignment with soul's purpose and that's where I've chosen to like claim my stake since I was probably three years old. So every time I feel I'm off center I try to come back and authenticity I think is what people
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Thank
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Being inauthentic is very energy draining and losing energy. Life is a game of energy. The only difference between a living body and a cadaver is the flow of energy. You've got the same organs, the same DNA, the same metabolites even. It's exactly the same. What's missing?
One, this flows energy, this does not. And as you watch someone's life force go down, you're watching the flow of energy get slower and the amount gets lower. So lower. And I think living a very inauthentic life and not letting the soul lead is very energy costly, basically. And so I'm not trying to lose that energy.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:It's I mean it shows obviously and I love that you brought the energy concept because in the fertility space that's a lot of the times when I see my women or even my men and they're so depleted they're so tired and you think about everything that's involved in making a baby and how much energy and you're literally giving part of your essence. That's part of the work that I have to do is to help people bring that energy up. When did you get into the soul? Like I love the results when I was able to get better results for my patients if you will it's not when I just
looked at the physical, but it's the mental, emotional, spiritual. When, did you say you were like three years old when you realized? Did I hear that right? Like when did you start looking at the soul as a main component of this is a person sitting in front of me and I need to help them get in touch with their soul? Because most people don't even know what it means to be inauthentic because they've never had the experience, you know? Or as an example.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah. Yeah.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Well, okay. I mean, I knew it probably too. Two is my first memory is when we got our cat. And I remember the whole experience of the man. I remember everything about it. And I remember I actually had a lot of rage because he had the cats in the trunk. And I was like, why would you do that? And I was very angry at the whole situation, how that was cruel and it's unfair and the cats can't see. And I was like, my mom was like, it down. Yeah, I'm ready to kill this guy.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Dr. Jane Levesque (13:10.148)
You're two years old. I'm tired of when you're young.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I was very, I'm gonna kill everybody. So, very young, I was like protecting and defending and just rescuing and doing that. It was just kind of how it was. And at three, I taught myself to read at three. I could read at three, and so when I was reading the newspaper, and I saw what the word philanthropist was, and I asked my mom, what does that mean? And she described it, and I said, that's what I'm gonna be when I grow up. And my brothers laughed at me and said, they're really rich. And I said, well then I'll go get some money.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:telling me this, because I know around welfare. I don't really know what you're telling me. I don't really care. But it was so that concept of knowing what I felt for that cat who I had for 20 years and how angry I was at him. And you didn't treat them right. you need I thought I had to educate him on what he was doing. Like, this is so cruel. Cats in a trunk, you know, 1975.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:figure it out.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And philanthropists, so like, just, was the natural thing of that kind of, I don't know, that way and everything else just made sense. I didn't necessarily know it was soul speaking. You know what I mean? It wasn't until I got older and I could put words, so I'm like, that's what this means. And there's just a lot of things that I would see or know. I thought everybody knew, but it turns out they didn't. I just thought we were talking about it.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm. No. Mm-mm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:you know and I was like so there's some things I knew but at 20
Three year, 24, when I was in grad school, was seeing a therapist and getting training. She was teaching me. I was going through a personal development course, kind like a Tony Robbins kind of thing. I was becoming an instructor and she was teaching me this, how to do this very Ed Larian, Gestalt, Jungian, and we would do rebirthing and breath work and stuff. So was going to Austin every month and it was a two year training program. So she was coaching me and teaching me. Well, she was...
She's like the greatest therapist in Atlanta, but she got rid of her license. So she really was just an intuitive empath. She didn't call herself that, but it was like, she's just magic. You need to go see her, right? So she's the one who pointed out to me what I was doing. She's you don't know what you're, she's like, you're like me. I said, no, I'm not. And she's like, yeah, you are. You just don't know it yet. And she goes, you can't tell self from other. And that's why you're always sick and hurting. So I was getting very physically sick all the time.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:and always in pain and always suffering and broken back and bone discs and be all like, it's just always a mess. And she finally was the one to say, because you're feeling everybody else's pain and energy and you can't tell the difference because you don't know yourself yet.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And I was like, what? She's like, the most important thing for you, she says, I will make it my, because she ended up with cancer. And she said, I will not let this happen to you. Because she was already like 50, she was my age. So I'm looking back, I'm like, wow, she was teaching me at this age. And she goes, you have to learn to know yourself. And you're afraid to know who you are.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:She took me through learning to know thyself. And so that was the greatest gift of understanding that. So that's really what I teach people. If you can't tell self from other, you're really going to struggle. And it goes into parenting and developing children. It's the beauty of making a baby and how that baby is one with you. And it's not supposed to know. like, it is the same as you, right? This whole time. And they can't tell. So like, there's no difference from you and that little, so three, four, five, seven years old. So I tell mom, like, listen, if mama ain't right, ain't nobody.
right and we got to keep you regulated. We got to keep that nervous system right. You must take care of yourself or you are abandoning that child because he or she feels everything before you're even aware of it. So oftentimes people bring me this kid and they say something's wrong. I'm like, ain't nothing wrong with him. The problem is right there. You're the one I need to help. And they're like, really? I'm like, the dogs, the pets and the babies in the house are going to tell you everything that's going on. Everything that's going on. I'm going to know.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
She's like, I have a histamine tumor. He has parasites. And I'm like, that's because you have all these.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:No, it's got to you, mama. We got to deal with you. And usually, many times, I'll stop and say, I'm not going to see the kid because I need to see you. And all of that will actually go. Not that mama's causing it, but it's like your energy and frequency is being absorbed by them. They're just little walking sponges, empathic beings. And especially those first few years, there really is no difference that a two, three-year-old like.
It is connected to mother and their cells are inside our bodies and brains. They exchanged them with us and we are them, we made them. So I'm like, it's just how it is. So, you my son felt everything I was feeling and he was developed that way.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Just like you felt everything that you were feeling with your mom in the womb. Do you, microchironism, is that the right term where the baby cells stay inside?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Right, exactly.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I yes, but yeah, when I found that out, it just made such sense and it was such a beautiful permission point because once I became a mother, there were things I could not tolerate anymore. Like I used to make fun of my sister, she's eight years older than me, that we would watch a movie and I can't see that and she could literally stop. It was a story about a child being kidnapped or something. She was like not having it, turn it off. I was like, dude, you're just too.
I'm the same way. And it really does change the system because that level of seeing or recognizing understanding, it's when you say like your child, it's like your own heart is walking around exposed. You're like, God, this is my own organs right there for people to touch and don't touch it. What is happening? And now it makes total sense because you are so connected to not only that, those children. I think it just really changes the way you see all children. Like it's just such a different level of sensitivity.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:It's so hard.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:and and connectedness. And there's a big powerful healing component when I understood what that was and how my son, you know, it was, I was on bed rest for eight and a half months. It was a super high risk pregnancy. I had to three high risk OBs and a neurologist on site for the birth. was not expect, I was hemorrhaging for weeks. It was awful. So.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:When I look at that, happened though, and how he healed me, it was extraordinary. tell him like, some of those problems I ever had, go, it was his stem cells, him coming into me, coming, offering that gift of life back to me. What an incredible exchange, you know, how we fueled each other. So, yeah.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Yeah. I mean, it explains the concept of like, you know, you just know when something is wrong with your kid, even though they're not anywhere close to you. It just explains.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yes. It's why the mother can walk in. It's why I would tell the husband, I'm like, stop being mad at your husband. He is not supposed to know. I would come home and Peter would, and I would see Bennett from across, I'm like, oh my God, what's wrong with him? He's like, what do you mean? I'm like, he has a fever. What's wrong with you? He is not, I could literally see, and I'm like, oh my, do you not touch him? Does he not go crazy? Like he's so weird.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:I have no idea.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:And the husband is just reading a book and scrolling the phone next to him.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And he's literally like been throwing them around the couch or whatever. Yeah, but you can see it. The men can't see that. Daddies aren't built for that. They don't have the cells inside. It is different. They were never one being, you know? They have a supportive role until a certain time, really. You know, it's like, you're not that necessary. I'm like, you better carry my stuff, protect me, get me some food and go away. You know I mean? Like,
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Support me in my crazy things and dreams and that I want to do and just be my rock, but you're not going to have that connection.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, that's not how it actually works in nature and you can think it's different all you want, but I have to make milk and feed the baby and do all the things. Like, I don't know what you're talking about. You know what I mean? Your job is to get me food.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Hmm.
Yeah. You're promised to get me food. I love that. Yeah.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Keep me warm and get me food. Make a fire, get me food. I don't know what else, you know.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:But, well, I mean, the brain changes so much for the women during the pregnancy. The brain will change for the men if they let. And that's something that I remember reading in the study. It's like, if the man allows it, he has to lean into the change because there's for sure men that don't get changed by the pregnancy or the, and they kind of resist it. And I remember with my first, I really resisted the change into motherhood. I was like, nothing is going to change. I'm going to be the same. And I'm going to have, it's like, what are you talking about? Literally everything changes. Literally everything changes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Everything changes. Everything changes. No, you have to grieve the old. What women don't do, and I realize like many of them, they try to cling to the old identity. like, hey, you are not the same person. She is gone. If you need to grieve her, grieve her. Yeah, like, well.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Nothing that mattered before matters at all.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes, yeah. That's the postpartum depression, right? For some.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:there's some real camellia issues with that, that's copper and stuff like that, it's just people trying to act like they're like this, like it's just a thing. I'm like, no, like the childless Stephanie, she done. She can't just go to Whole Foods when she feels like it. She can't hang out in Barnes Noble for four hours. She just can't, you know, like there's a lot of things you can't do anymore. She done, let it go.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:huh.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep. Like make dinner if we've disrupted.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, like that's not happening. Good luck sleeping. You're not doing that for a few years. Like, just accept it. So I found out people, like I just surrendered to all of it and was very happy with it. You know, like I had two practices and I was renovating two. I lost it all. I had to close everything. I couldn't work. You know, like, okay, well put it in store. Sell it. I just sold, get rid of the convertible. It's all gone. And if I could have, would have been all sad about it, would have been all depressed. I'm like, well, it's just changing. And I just, like, she's done. Now the mother, Stephanie, is being birthed.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:hehe
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:So this is a new identity and it's a new time. Like the teenager is gone too. Like let it go, you know? So, right?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Why do you think we hang on to the identities? Why do you think it's hard? Because sometimes I'll meet people where they are genuinely still stuck in the teenage years or in the early 20s or whatever, you know. Why do you think we hang on?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, well, often it's nervous system dysregulation. And if there's ever been a psychiatric drug put into place at those times, you will be emotional. You will be stunted and held at that place as soon as the psychiatric drug was put on. So I have many people who started like an SSRI at 17 and they're 30. I don't care if they've been through seven or eight. We are still going to be stunted.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Hmm
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:So a big part of what I do is getting people off of those things and then I have to grow them up. And you are neurologically blunted at that point. You will not have normal development.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:And birth control, like not to mention even birth control, huge.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Control is complete alteration, right? So you have the synthetic hormone derangement that's going on, absolutely changing who you're attracted to, who you find. It just ruins everything. You're gonna make bad choices, most likely, and that's an unfortunate thing because you literally will pick the wrong person for you because your senses, your sensation, your sense of sight and smell in particular will let you know who you're supposed to be with. And many women, another thing, you deal with this, I'm always shocked how women will
have like deal with all these you know vaginal problems infections and problems and inflammation and they'll just keep trying to move on and with like I'm like that's a sign you're not supposed to be with him what part of this do you not understand like the chemistry your body's repelling this guy like your body's trying to tell you please keep him away
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Thanks.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah. Every time I have sex, I get an yeast infection.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, like, well then, that's, I've never had yeast infection in my life. You know what I mean? So I'm like, hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm. Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:These are signals, women are so conditioned for so many reasons to override their soul speaking to them, their intuition, which is an absolute travesty because the masculine and the feminine are not the same. And we all have both of them in us, of course, but obviously I'm a woman, so I'm more feminine. And what is the greatest attribute? If have one word that would define the feminine power.
It is intuition. If I have one word that's going to describe the masculine power, I'm going to say intellect. you know, intuition is listening and receiving, and intellect is action and doing, right? And many women have completely screwed this up.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And this is part of why think a big part of why the infertility epidemic. We can talk about hormones, mitochondrial health, deuterium, microplastics, makeup, Botox. I mean, we can go into all of this stuff, but it comes down to I think so many women have forgotten her greatest superpower is receiving. And you are not supposed to be the giver and the doer. You are not that person. That is the masculine's job. And we've gotten it all screwed up.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah, I'm just thinking of one of my patients where she's like, I think I stepped into the feminism thing a little bit too hard because we went from this, like women used to stay at home and just have families and that was.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:First of all, see right there, not just. Women used to have families and take care that in and of itself is fantastic. That's enough, yes.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:That's it. And then now, you know, it's like, you have to have the career, you have to have, you know, the two incomes to support because of the inflation and all this other stuff. And then it's just the pressure of like, well, if I'm just staying at home, then I'm not worthy or I'm not contributing enough. And, you know, it's like, when did we, when did that start? You know?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, they step into too much masculine roles. It's the masculinization of the feminine. You have too many masculinized women wondering why. My mom once joked, she's like, what is going on with you guys? She's like, a man would walk in the room and somebody would get pregnant. Y'all have to spend 50 grand going to clinics now? What is the deal?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:What is...
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I was like, a lot of things, mommy, but you know, overall, think the overall emotional arc is the masculinization of the feminine. I was very masculinized. get it. I had to decondition myself over the last several years to be comfortable with being feminine. We are taught that is weak.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:It is not enough. It is not good. Everybody wants, and then I had to finally, was, it's like a compliment to be called a baller and a badass and a boss bitch. Now I'm telling them like, stop calling me that. I reject all of it. Please, you are not complimenting me. I don't want to be seen that way. Yeah, I built that image, but I needed to. grew up in a very, I don't regret what I needed to do to survive.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
Dr. Jane Levesque (:I'm offended.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You know, I took on what I needed to do. If I didn't do that, I would have had to stay at my house. So I had to fight, I had to do things, I had to be very masculine to survive some tough situations. And I'm good with that. But I took it really extreme as if that's my value. And I didn't know how to let someone give to me. I didn't know how to receive. I had to teach myself by giving to myself first.
And then so therefore I could teach the world this is how I deserve to be treated. Right? And so that then, you know, and I'm still learning, you know, it's been a thing, you know, but overall that's what the, I think most women and men are getting wrong. Like he is the giver. is the, he gives, you know, and every pack, right? So all mammals.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:every day.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Is it?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Like, so we're part of the mammal, right? So let's look at a wolf pack. We're the same. So people, mate for life. Every pack has two alphas, a male and a female. And I didn't really understand this. It was something I learned the last few years. I always think it's one. It's like, a pack will never survive. If there's an alpha male.
The beta males will rise up to kill him. Like that's the whole point. It's the alpha female that is keeping everything in check actually. She is controlling everything. And let's say he does die in a fight, doing something or off a cliff. How the next alpha male is chosen, the alpha female subdues, physically takes down a beta. She picks him.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And by her taking him down, there's an alteration of his chemistry. The United States military has completely tracked this. They know exactly what happens with dopamine. They know the alpha, beta, omega. They know every rank and every composition of serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine. They understand it all because the exact same thing happens in an elite team, in the Navy SEALs and the Ranger. The same thing happens.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:That's amazing.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:They have the exact same chemistry. So they studied the packs to see what happened. And in that pack, is always, well, pick any species, any mammal. The alpha female is making all the decisions of do we stay, do we go, do we hunt, do we eat, do we, whatever it is, he looks to her and says, what should we do? She says, we're gonna go left.
He takes the lead, got it. He is obedient to the intuition and connectedness of the females, connection to source, her soul connection to spirit. He enforces all of it. He is the leader, but he looks to her to go what to do. He executes all of it, right? She has his back, you know? And you know, she's controlling all of them. Like you better watch them.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:He executes.
Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You know what I mean? Like that. And it's the same in any incredible marriage. When you think about it, how it was back in the day, I remember, like you would see it, it's like this. It's like, mom is here. Let's say dad walks in the door and she's had her day with the three kids and she just goes, says, listen, that guy next door talked to Billy the wrong way. That man, goes, and he doesn't need to hear a story. knew, like all she has to say is, I don't like that guy.
He just gets up and kicks his ass. Like he doesn't need to ask her for 47 questions. She just goes, get him. He does it. When you see it like they're like, I don't care what it is. She said to do it. Like she mad at him. I'm at him too. Like, you know what mean? That's what it's like. The women usually in the greatest marriages are making all the money decisions. They deciding kind of where the money's going to go, where we're going to move, where the kids go to school, where the appointments are. She's in charge of everything. And he's just kind of executing.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
huh.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:in harmony and community, you know what mean? Like, yeah, because she's connected. Now, if she's off and she's not connected to her intuition, she's not connected to the source, that's very unstable for him. And if she doesn't let him give to her, he is impotent and powerless. He must give.
And women have very hard time receiving now. So their men feel unwanted and undesired and useless. So they're going off on porn and having affairs and everything else because she doesn't let him give. That's all he's got. His whole thing is to like, I'm here to serve you. So.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah, I mean, how do you see this dynamic shifting?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I do. I really am fascinated by, it seems like the younger generation, well, there's people like me. There's a lot of us, these feminists, these working, we've had to be independent because we watched our mothers do it. So that was a generation where the true income suddenly became required, right? Or whatever. And then all the propaganda came in to where it's like women have to work and you can't trust the man and you don't need him and all that stuff, right?
And so you have my generation that's like, I think this is bullshit. I think this is, I'm tired. Like, this is a lot. this is, I just.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Alley-Wong has a really good bit about it. She's like, I want to lay down.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:because the world also is designed on a masculine 24 hour testosterone cycle. It's like this baseline same old testosterone cycle. We are not like that. I am a different woman every week of the month. I am radically different. I'm four people. I'm good with that.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:No.
Every day.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I am, you are with four people, get used to it. This week I'm gonna be tired, this week I'm horny, this week I'm energetic, you know what mean? I don't wanna work out, I do wanna work out, like that's how it is. I'm not trying to be basic, like you wanna be, I would say this to Chip all the time, he's like, you wanna be basic? Go date a man, you wanna date a man? Nope, well then shut up. Be happy about all of it. I am the wild storm, your job is to contain me, so I don't kill people.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
But yeah.
Yep. Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:That's all you're, you just gotta contain it and direct it in a way, but I'm gonna be wild. That's just how it is. But our work schedules, business, appointments, calendars, that's so masculine. We are forcing ourselves to be in some ridiculous container that makes no sense for the feminine energy. I have so many women come to me, they think they have ADHD. I'm like, how do you even got ADHD? You're a woman.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes, that's it.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You are not supposed to be, you're supposed to do that because you're supposed to be driven by creativity, beauty and intuition. And that is supposed to be all over the place. And you were very holistic. We can see 47 things at once. He can do one. That's all he can do. That's his job. Point an arrow, punch and kill somebody. That's not my job. I got to watch 47 kids while I'm grabbing potatoes and I'm, you know, like, I got to see everything.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah, totally.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You know what I mean? So we just have totally different brains and totally different systems to the hormonal system. So I see women now are like, this is ridiculous. This goes against my own biology. Yes, it does. And I see the younger generation, like my son, he'll be 20 next month. And these kids are like either.
extremely digital, anime, fake, like they want to be cartoon characters and, I don't know, put ears on and have weird surgeries. Or they're like, we want no makeup, we want homesteading, we want farms, and we want 87 children. Like, it's just like fascinating to watch. Like, it's two world. I feel like we're just in, like we've had a split and I just get people like, huh. I mean,
Dr. Jane Levesque (:No.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I have chickens in my yard now, like people are getting chickens and they're wanting to buy land. Yeah, we just want to get away from it. Yeah, I see it changing. Yeah, I do see it and I just think it's, we have to relearn.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Have a cow. I want to two cows because cows are great. have friends. They have best friends. So like, why would I get one? I need two.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:We have to relearn some of the dynamics and bring some balance. It's like how, like I still, I have to work. I don't have a partner to pay my, you know, support me. so like, how can I still do my role? You have to be masculine at times and I get great value from service and contributing and helping people. And how can I still be wildly embracing my feminine and not have shame for her anymore?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I think it's the shame around some of the feminine things that many of us had. So it's this interesting mix. think we're all, I'm watching a lot of women my age go through and I really enjoy watching a lot of the younger. And I see a lot of young men stepping up, like 20s and 30s who are like no alcohol, no porn, they're like very strict, like that stuff is not what I wanna be. And they wanna get married and they wanna have children. And it's really stunning to watch.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah, I have, sometimes I'm amazed by the, I'll have a couple of people who are in their 20s, not a lot, and they're struggling to conceive. Obviously that's alarming, but it's always inspiring to be like, you're 22 and you want to get pregnant and you've been trying for the last year, like good for you versus, you know, the 35, the 37 or the 40 year old that's been even just a patient recently. It's like, she's literally spent all her time and energy building her career and taking care of her parents.
And then it's like, I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom. And I'm like, you're 43 years old or you're 45 years old. Like, why haven't we been able to make that happen? You know, it just seems so, and I say that not to shame her, but it's crazy how we get ingrained with this. I need to build a career. I need to do this. And then you get put on birth control for 20 years or 10 years or 15 years. And that essentially shuts your whole intuition. Your brain changes completely. You go from wanting to be a
caretaker and build a family to just hormones are like this all the time, or maybe they cycle it a little bit for you just to make it seem like a real thing. And I'm glad you brought it up because I'm one of those people, it's like, I love my job, I love my career, but it's definitely, and I also love my children. And it's this constant struggle of like, how do I bring feminine energy into my career and follow my intuition and have some business mentors?
but also recognize that if it's a male giving me feedback, I'm gonna take that with a grain of salt because I'm not gonna run my business the way that you run your business, which is, you know, working 12 hour days or popping nicotine or Adderall or whatever, just so you can keep staying focused and productivity stays up. Yeah, it's like it's a new space, you know, to figure it out and...
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:It is. We're learning, we're figuring it out, and I think the more conversations we have and we keep talking and sharing with each other, and it's why I do group courses and subscriptions with women and talk about it. I remember, I think it was about eight years ago, I think we just had the eight year anniversary of my first course that I ever taught, and I have a whole arsenal of them now.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:showcase and learning center, but that first one I would let it be men and women and I learned really quickly and it was a carnivore course. So it was like a three pronged and carniv- eating carnivore way and I realized it was supposed to be rest, restore, renew. Those were the three acronyms and I got really clear really quickly. So it's about 150 women and like 25 guys and I was really quick like, this isn't for the men because you don't need to rest. Like y'all need to get off your ass.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Like, these ladies need to learn to sit down. Like, y'all are ridiculous. So like, it started teaching me the radical difference. I'm like, the problem with all these dysregulated women is they're waking up at 4.30 going to Orange Fitness Theory and crossfit. I'm like, bruh, stop.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:like this is why you're fit. And I'm like, what? I'm like, I don't work out. Like, what is wrong with you? You know, like, you know, like, no, like you need to rest. So I had to deal with, I'm like, and the guys, so I had to coach different, it's like, I need to change this. So the next time I did it, I really, it really helped me see the difference. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you, don't need to do that. She needs this because women, it is about, they need to be still and they need to learn to listen and connect with their, get their bodies. They need to stop dissociating. They need to get, be embodied.
again, I need to use sensation and pleasure, I need to regulate the nervous system, we need safety. All women are walking around feeling unsafe all the time, whether they want to admit it or not, right? It's why they need the masculine to feel safe, you know, and it doesn't kind of care if you're in a same-sex relationship, you're still looking for the masculine to make you feel safe, right? It's your own masculine comes on board to do that, right?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I saw the difference very clearly. I'm like, well, you don't, need a different thing. These guys, I have to get them to move their energy. I need to get them to get into action again. I need them to feel that they have purpose in doing, like they're the doers. Like, but they need to be more laser focused. And so it was very radically different. That's kind of what started the journey of me having to understand I'm the same overworking, aggressive, blah, blah. And, you know, my patients were reflecting that all back to me and I'm like,
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, okay, let's, but I've been meditating for 30 years, know, longer actually. So in visualizing since the sixth grade and I didn't realize like so many people didn't know to do these things. They didn't know how to regulate. So I was, had started to teach them that. And I didn't know that some of these things I was doing were actually feminine superpowers. just thought.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You know, I didn't get, so I had to learn and teach it differently. And it's not that to say that men don't have intuition, you know, cause they have a feminine as well, but it's okay, you know, it seems so radical today to have to say, I'm a woman, I'm not a man, and we are not the same. I would never in a thousand years thought that would be a controversial thing to say, but here we are.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And I'm very clear on that and I say it repeatedly. so trying to explain that to women who come to me for anything weight loss. like, why are you taking advice from a 27 year old guy on Instagram trying to do what he's doing? What?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:as a 45 or as a 50 or any woman really, but.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:unbelievable. Well, I'm in fasting and I eat one meal a day, but you're 60. What are you doing? Stop. And so it's always shocking. I don't know what you have to do with yours. I have to make all my women eat more. I make them stop fasting. I have to make them sleep more. I have to make them stop working out. Like they just they get really scared. And then we could be like, I lost five pounds. No kidding. Because you're starving.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You're starving for food, nutrients, touch, love, attention, affection, time, rest. You know what I mean? Like, no wonder you have to dissociate and scroll so much. You have to dissociate with wine. You have to dissociate with shopping. have to dissociate, right, with all these things, you know, or you know what I really hate? I don't know if you deal with this, like motorized mechanical sex devices.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Let us
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:shopping.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:@dr_rimka Stephanie Rimka (42:58.988)
I'm like, you're ruining yourself. You're numbing yourself out from real receiving and real pleasure. I'm like, your vibrator now is like his porn. How is any man gonna compete with what you, what? What?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:I don't see a lot, I see mechanical sex a lot, meaning that it's time we have to do it. I'm ovulating, let's go. And a lot of women don't experience any pleasure with sex or the men for that matter because it's been so, yeah, exactly, yeah.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:No, know infertility is a whole problem.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:job now. Now it's a job. That is not how this works. All life comes from an orgasm. It is the ultimate. And like that, that for a woman, she has to
Dr. Jane Levesque (:I mean, there's studies showing when the woman has an orgasm, only, I mean, if the orgasm happens at the same time, the cervix will actually open and like kind of suck the sperm up into the uterus, but then the chemicals that are released around the oxytocin, the dopamine and the euphoria, and even prolactin, that helps to support the drive of the sperm up into the fallopian tubes and the attraction chemicals. So then fertilization is much more likely to happen.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And you can make it, I can make it simpler. Yeah, because the only way a woman can orgasm is her prefrontal cortex has to completely go, this is not for men, this is how a woman's body is. It must go offline, she must be able to completely lose control, surrender. She only can do that in a case of total surrender, vulnerability and safety. That is it. And you can only get pregnant if you're that damn safe.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:It was intended this way, you know, it was built.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You can't get pregnant in famine or war. The body's gonna say this is not good to do. We might die. Yeah, but you know, it's tough and it may take care of that.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:It can, but it's not great.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah. And I mean, we've seen it and we've studied it. You know, how many studies of children that were born during Holocaust and I mean, all the wars and everything else and the impact that it has generationally. think that's an argument that I get all the time was like, well, this person is really unhealthy, or this person is so and so and they were able to get pregnant. And it's a gap. And now they're sitting in front of me or their kids are sitting in front of me, you know, 20 years later, 30 years later. I think if we're looking at it from a generational...
health standpoint and just like the quality of life. Something I said to one of my patients is like, I don't think we're going to come to a time where we can't have children unintentionally. And I mean that from a place of, have to learn how this thing works because I love what you're saying about safety. Like pregnancy is such a vulnerable state for a woman. And you know, if you study some of the indigenous cultures and how they, like if you are mad, you're not allowed to go next to a pregnant woman.
If you are angry, because that's bad juju. They don't want that around. They want to protect, you know, that baby because it's so influential on her chemistry. so, you know, if we we want to be more intentional with having our babies, so then it's a much deeper experience for us.
And with my kids, I watched them, it's like, didn't do anything for my first one. And I can see all the things that I passed down, you know? And the experience that I had with my second, it's like, don't get me wrong, there's still lots of things that I passed down. And it's not about being perfect, but like, ugh, I wish I would have known that, you know? And now I have to help my daughter work through some of those things that I didn't work through before I got pregnant with her. And you know, maybe that's why she's here.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:What a gift for her, what a gift for her, right? I mean, there's no great story if everything was born perfect. mean, think of it, nobody has inspired anybody was born into a perfect life. That's no inspirational story there. Nobody cares. everything's perfect, they were born perfect, everything's perfectly healthy, they're perfectly rich, perfectly pretty, that yippee. I'm just saying, you know?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:That's how, yeah, lot of forgiveness on my part.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah. There's nothing there. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. And so it is this. I mean, even for the woman, I know I want to be conscious of time, but like I love your concept about the soul. And one of the things that I'll talk to my patients and some of my patients who've been the most successful when they've been told they'll never have a kid and it's been eight years or five years or whatever. And it's just been nuts is they actually connected to the soul of the baby and they started writing to their babies and they started to like, because they could feel it.
and they would be sad every time they got their period because they knew that they were now further away from meeting this baby. And it's the, I don't know if that's really a question, but like I just love your perspective of like, what do you think about calling the soul in, knowing who you are? Because when a woman doesn't know who she is at all, it's so hard to bring another soul into it because when you are pregnant.
you do feel like there's an alien inside of you and you're like, I don't know what, you know, one thing you want this and another day you want that. And then you want to divorce your husband between week 17 and 24, because all your methylation markers are, or the copper is going through and so you're going crazy, right? Like there's just so much that's going on. But if you have this really strong sense of self and authenticity, then you can hold the space for this other soul to come in or to actually be part of you. And then like you said, it's seven years.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, it's long time before they're like, I'm separate. And that also becomes kind of a grieving moment for that child, because it's a weird thing, right? Because we really are all one in coming into this avatar physical manifestation experience. So I kind of look at it as like there's a pool of souls that are waiting, you know, and choosing. Like they're up there doing their thing. And like my son chose me. I did not choose him.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's how I look at it too.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:And I was also told I couldn't get pregnant. So, you know, it is what it is. You're like, oh, okay, well, guess he's like, I'm all right. Things are happening, right? So, you know, no, I really can't like, think spirit's always gonna override. So, so I do.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:They can't tell you what to do.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:kind of believe in that, that whole concept. it does, I've had many experiences that give me information that seems like this is how it is. At least the information that's been given to me, been shown to me of what I'm supposed to believe in this lifetime. And sometimes those souls are supposed to be here for a very short time.
And that miscarriage, that is part of the journey of what is supposed to be in the teaching and the healing and what has to happen. So yes, I love that you have them do that because being just knowing, just saying, I just hope these women don't get attached as if what they're doing is going to determine it because you're not in control of any of this. That was the greatest lesson I learned from pregnancy and being on eight and a half months bed rest and hemorrhaging for 10 weeks and like, I don't know.
I'm clearly not in charge of anything. I just... Yeah, like I'm not really, it's a joke that I think I'm in charge of things. this is hilarious. It was so freeing, I'm like, ha
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You're the vessel that gets to bring this.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:or I'm just gonna keep co-creating with spirit and like, this is what I want or something better, like, you don't want that. But I thought I did, no you don't. I'm gonna make you go this way. Okay, I just learned to be okay with what is, like, this is what is. So I love that, I love that they, just the concept of let me be clear, let me be open and I'm just trying to become, you know.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
No.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Because you are receiving, you have to, and you're receiving the gift of a soul saying, I want you, I wanna go through you, I wanna be in this world through you. And that's how I learned myself, like he's here through me, but he's not really mine. Even though I made you, you chose me, and listen, you chose me. So I didn't, he was like, didn't, like yes you did. So like it or not, this is what you got. So I don't feel bad about any of it. Like.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:You
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:that I know he had some developmental, maybe PTSD, anxiety and sensory vestibular, we didn't move. He didn't move enough for eight and a half months. So I just corrected it. I'm like, well, I know he's gonna need sound therapy. I know I'll get him on the violin. I'll fix all that sensory stuff because he didn't get movement like he should have. I had like 30 ultrasounds. Not good, not good. But I was almost dead. I fell down two flights of stairs with him inside of me. Not good. But we ain't dead, so it worked out.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:So knowing that, like, having them do that, incredible. And I would love it if they could consider, though, maybe, you know, not always feeling that grief because it's, the soul was deciding and it's not about you. So it's not necessarily anything to me to be sad about per se, like, okay. And like,
Like if I needed to be a vessel to have that happen, so be it. I'm pretty sure I had a twin. I had 10 weeks of hemorrhaging vaginally the whole time. And I thought there were twins. And so when they said one heartbeat, what were you talking about? I said, is that two? I said, no. And so, and I always thought he was a girl. And I didn't know anything. The sex I had, I'm like, they go, boy, I'm like, what?
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Good.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Well, that's not who I saw. I saw the girl, right? So I know he has like a vestigial twin energy and he's a Libra. And so it just became like people would always call him a girl. I'm like, well, he's a boy. I'm sorry. mean, he's pretty, but he is a boy. But he has girl energy because I think he had a twin sister. Yeah, so I think it's lovely. And I think if you're open to it, but please, understanding, some cultures don't think, I don't.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Interesting. Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:The soul doesn't stick, to me, from my understanding of what I've learned and studied with different shamanic practices and pranic healing that I'm trained in and certified in, the soul doesn't really stake claim strong until the end. It's near the end. And then like in Bali, they won't put the baby down on the ground. In many cultures, that baby doesn't touch the, till a year. They don't consider the soul making permanent claim to that body for a while.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Like it's still deciding, you know, like, do I want to be here or not? Is this, you know, so I think it's really an interesting way and it just takes pressure off the Western logical, got to figure it out mine. Like, what if you weren't in control of any of that? Nothing you're doing is going to be the deciding factor. This is another being's journey. It's an energy flow source that needs to come in and do whatever it needs to do.
and you're just getting to be a part of the, you know, built into the quilts of that. And I do think, though, however, it's easier if a woman is very embodied and knows her own soul is letting her, is it easier? Like, you talk about, like, kids and women getting pregnant in the Holocaust. Not everybody in the Holocaust was as stressed out as everybody. Some people lived in gratitude in that situation.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep. Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You know, I mean, there's not everybody had the same response. People can go to prison and have a very different response. People can be, you know what I mean? Like how they actually feel about the situation is very, very different. So they, you know what I mean? So there's different ways that the chemistry will be, is completely overwritten by the mind. So there's that. I do think it's a fascinating thing. So somebody who knows who they are.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:sure.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:lets their soul lead forward, has gratitude, feels safety in the nervous system. And so let's say they, okay, there's been some hormone dysregulation from bad choices with the birth control pill and there's a bunch of microplastics, they need to be cleaned out and they need you to clean out their mitochondria and you need a little bit. That woman is gonna get pregnant a whole, she's got the right partner that she really feels safe with. And this isn't an obligation to get pregnant because she's checking something off her list.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Sure.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Right? There's a lot of that. think a lot of people want to get, I'm like, do you really want to be a mother? Maybe you're not.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Or with him? I always, I had that question with one of my patients. I'm like, do you want to have a baby or do you want to have a baby with him? Cause those are two different things. You know, cause sometimes the woman has this really big drive. I want to have a baby and it's like, but is it with him? And then when the question goes, and when she does that, you know, then it's like, okay, Yes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yes!
Yes. Right.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, I see that all the time. They don't like their husbands. Like, do you not like sex? You just not like him. They're like, right. I'm like, it sounds like you hate him, actually. I mean, did you ever like him? I mean, that's a real thing.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Right. Yeah. I did, but then I got off birth control and then ever since then I didn't. Ha ha! Makes sense, makes sense. I have one last question, if you don't mind, about how do you see the physical body as a reflection of what's going on? Because, you know, I hear it, the connection in the soul and all of that, but in the same breath, like you said, well,
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:you have to learn how to take care of this vessel. And if you're full of microplastics or mold or heavy metals or whatever it is, then it's gonna be really hard for you to connect to the soul. I'm curious what your perspective is and even like your approach on how you treat, looking at it, not just the physical, obviously, or just the spiritual, mental, emotional, putting it all together.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:I think it's 100%. The physical manifestation is 100 % connected to a combination. think for me, the soul comes in with a personality and it doesn't actually forget everything. There's a definite personality to the soul. It's not a blank canvas. It comes in with things that makes that. But you do have the unconscious mind and unconscious scripts that are given to you from your family that's just imprinted in you by the time you're two years old, how you think about men, women,
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:place in it. Those are gifts from your family. Okay? How you think about money? That's all. Well, it's always a gift. It's an opportunity for you to do something with it or not. You know, I'm
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Gifts or burdens? Both.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:You play the cards, you're dealt. And I can win with any hand I'm dealt. A good poker player can win with anything. Okay? That's a choice, right? So those are definitely a combination and it's your responsibility to still cultivate the soul's personality, the soul's journey, uncover those unconscious grips. As a child, you're at the mercy of everything around you. By the time you're an adult, you have to own that and move on with it.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep. Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:So, and it's, there are opportunities for you to uncover that, you know, the magnificence of who you are. So I do think the physical body is just an absolute culmination of those unconscious scripts and what the soul's journey is. Now there's a very unique, interesting group that, you know, it's been a...
really fascinating for me. I specialize in autism, right, vaccine injury. And it's a very, very interesting thing that I've been questioning, you know, for almost 30 years. Like, what does it take for that soul to come in here and agree to that? You know, to choose an avatar that's going to be so severely damaged that the hardware and the software
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm-hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:is altered and damaged and poisoned and yet the soul is trying to express itself through kind of a broken avatar in many ways and my job is to do the best I can to get this back so that soul can express itself in a full way. I don't know why we have that. I don't know. I wish I understood. Now I do have quite a few.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Thank
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Nonverbal kids that I helped talk lots of those and then they tell you things and I have some that only communicate through writing and they're like savants and they'll tell you lots of things so we get insight as to all this and how they are feeling it, but I just I you cannot convince me Anybody is supposed to be in that amount of physical Pain that many of them are going to and that's why they have the behaviors and why they do what they do I don't feel any child is supposed to be banging their head against a wall to try and
combat the severe gastrointestinal pain they're experiencing. So there's a little bit like I do I think it's the unconscious scripts called that causing that other souls. No, I don't. But there's no I mean, like a thing happened to the child. Now we're dealing with this. But there's still an incredible journey, not only for that soul and is that soul here as such an angel to force the people around them to up up.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yep.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:uplevel themselves because that really is what I end up seeing is that this family can either take it on and become the most incredible family you've ever seen or they can wallow in misery and complain and become an alcoholic and get divorced and you can really see something happen or you can watch love pour out like you've never seen in human beings before. So you know there's that general thing yes you're all responsible for it's all of that.
And there's this other group that Down syndrome, like, you know, like, and is there any more gentle, loving, happy being than somebody with Down syndrome? You've literally never, like, you just go, do they get upset? Like.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:We don't know about yet.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:No. Yeah.
Yeah.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:happy. It's the most fascinating, you know what mean? I don't know those answers. I am not the person in charge of those things and I don't pretend to be, but I do ask a lot of questions and I do wonder about it.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Mm.
Totally.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Do you have the homeopathic perspective? Young Shulton, when he talks about like the minerals and how he looks at the first, periodic table, do you know what I'm talking about? Have you dug into that at all?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:No, I'm more I'm mostly the only things I really care about our hydrogen because I think that's the god molecule So I think that's such a divine the power
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah, but he talks about the soul coming in and that in that first period, like where the hydrogen that's usually the soul hasn't come in versus at the end when it's left already. And then there's a lot of stuff in the middle. that's yeah, I that's been very fascinating because then I can see where the person is stuck, especially if they're a mineral versus an animal or plant.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:don't know about that,
Dr. Jane Levesque (:where they're stuck so you can help move them along the mineral. And then usually you can see a toxicity that's associated with it. So when someone is lead and they're in the decay and it makes sense, but there's something else that brought them there. Thank you for sharing that insight though. It's beautiful. Do you want to tell people where to find, do you want to tell them quickly about your book so when they're listening to this podcast, they know where to go?
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Yeah, so, well, thank you for having me. First of all, it's great. It's so nice to not talk about like peptides and like most people, know, they, was like ready for like, oh man, we were talking about peptides or bioregulators or deuterium. Like I didn't have to, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:My pleasure.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:We could, but it's a three hour thing. I see why Joe Rogan does three hour podcasts because it's like, I'm just thinking like, what do I think my audience will want to know? But also like what I'm really curious to hear about from you.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:and I, yeah, it's a pleasure. So clinical stuff that I do, which they probably maybe don't need since they have you, imdrrmca.com, I have a new website that is launching and that's gonna launch my book and it's gonna be more the place where I get to house.
the more feminine aspect of me, let's say. So it's called yoursoulbeautiful.com, and I'll make sure you have it, but yes, S-O-U-L, your soul, your soul, Y-O.
You are your soul. Beautiful. And that's where the book is going to be. It's called Receive the Dance of Feminine Power. It'll be out in a couple of months. I mean, it'll be very, very, very soon. So if anybody wants to get in the pre-launch list or the wait list, I don't know when the show will be airing. But I'll have the book, and there's a soul course there. So it kind of lets me finally have a playground for the softer side. And Dr. Rimka.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yes.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Hmm.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:can still be clinical and do neurofeedback and peptides. If you need that type of stuff, I'm available. The other areas where I would love you to go there.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:Yeah, thank you. actually just, one of my practitioners took on a patient and he has bipolar. And so we always are looking for other, because it's like, I know that that's impacting it and I'm going to clean up X, Y, and Z, but I need someone that I know who can handle that and be able to help, whether it's manage the condition, get off the medication, whatever it is to really understand it. yeah, well, good.
rimka Stephanie Rimka (:Color is easier than you think, actually.
Dr. Jane Levesque (:That's good to know. Thank you so much for being here. Dr. Stephanie Remco, always a pleasure. We'll see you guys all next week.
