In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sadikah Behbehani, a dual fellowship–trained OB-GYN specializing in reproductive endocrinology and minimally invasive excision surgery.We discuss what endometriosis really is, why it’s frequently missed, and how it impacts fertility and IVF outcomes.What You’ll Learn • Why normal ultrasounds don’t rule out endometriosis • How inflammation from endometriosis affects implantation and egg quality • When excision surgery can improve fertility outcomes • Why the first 6 months after surgery are often the most fertile • The importance of multidisciplinary care (pelvic PT, acupuncture, GI support) • How to advocate for yourself if you feel dismissedKey TakeawaysEndometriosis is an inflammatory, whole-body condition — not just “bad periods.”Many fertility patients labeled with “unexplained infertility” may have undiagnosed endometriosis.

In this episode of the Women's Health & Fertility Podcast, Dr. Yang is joined by Malaika Clelland, a licensed clinical social worker specializing in perinatal trauma. Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Malaika shares how this powerful therapy helps clients heal from fertility challenges, birth trauma, and pregnancy loss. EMDR works by allowing patients to recall traumatic events while following bilateral stimuli (e.g., a therapist's finger), which helps the brain reprocess the experience. This technique releases trauma stored in the body, leading to long-term emotional healing. Malaika explains how unresolved trauma can affect the mind and body, leading to emotional distress and anxiety, particularly for high-achieving women facing fertility setbacks. She also shares strategies for postpartum mental health, including creating a postpartum plan, prioritizing sleep, building a support system, and asking for help when needed.
