In this episode, Dr. Erica sits down with Dr. Nirali Dubal — board-certified pediatrician, ICF-certified life coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher — to explore how mindfulness and meditation can support high-achieving women on the fertility journey.
What we cover:
- What the research says about meditation and the brain (functional MRI studies, prefrontal cortex changes)
- How meditation reduces stress, improves sleep, and supports immune function
- Why you don't need hours a day — even 2 minutes counts
- Dr. Nirali's personal journey from pediatrician to meditation teacher
- How to reconnect mind and body when you're stuck in "analysis paralysis"
- Emotional regulation on the rollercoaster of fertility
- Practical ways to start (micro-meditations, body scans, Insight Timer)
Resources mentioned:
- Insight Timer app (free guided meditations)
- Dr. Nirali's website: niralidubal.com
