In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Tia Ukpe-Wallace, a pelvic health physical therapist based in Oakland, California who shares her personal journey from experiencing chronic UTIs, fibroids, and pregnancy loss to becoming a specialist in women's pelvic health.

Dr. Tia reveals the often-overlooked connection between pelvic health, fibroids, and fertility, explaining how:

• Fibroids can compete for blood supply and lead to pregnancy complications
• Scar tissue from fibroid surgeries and other procedures can impact conception
• The six ligaments supporting your uterus play a crucial role in fertility
• Dark or irregular periods might signal fibroid presence or other pelvic health issues

Whether you're dealing with fibroids while trying to conceive, recovering from pregnancy loss, experiencing painful intercourse, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation demystifies pelvic health therapy and provides actionable insights for your reproductive journey.

Dr. Tia emphasizes that pelvic health isn't just about internal examinations—it encompasses everything from how you walk and breathe to jaw tension and posture. Discover why addressing these issues could be the missing piece in your fertility puzzle, especially when fibroids are involved.

Welcome to The WOVA Circle—real talk on fertility, wellness, and trying to conceive (TTC). I'm Gabie Peytchev, founder of WOVA Health and your fertility educator and guide. In this first episode, I’m sharing my personal story and the journey that led to creating WOVA.

After facing unexpected challenges on the path to parenthood, I began questioning the conventional approach to fertility care. Why was no one talking about gut health, sleep, stress, environment—or the connection between overall health and reproductive wellness? I realized we need more than prescriptions and procedures—we need whole-person, holistic support.

This episode is about the “why” behind WOVA, the gaps I saw in the system, and the vision I have for this community. Whether you're TTC, healing, or simply curious about your health, you're not alone—and you're in the right place.

🎧 Coming up next: Dr. Tia joins us to unpack how pelvic physical therapy supports fertility and hormonal health.
