Ep 49: How to care for your mental health while going through IVF with Dr. Sarah Oreck, Founder of Mavida Health

Today, we’re joined by Dr. Sarah Oreck, founder of Mavida Health and a reproductive psychologist specializing in infertility, IVF, pregnancy, and postpartum mental health. We talk about the emotional impact of infertility and fertility treatments, why mental health care is such a critical — and often missing — part of reproductive healthcare, and how therapy and emotional support can improve the fertility journey.

Dr. Oreck shares expert insight from her clinical work, common struggles she sees in patients going through IVF, and practical ways to support mental health during fertility treatments.
