Topic: New & Emerging Research
Guest Presenter: Dr. Anna Pollack, PhD, MPH
Register here: https://bit.ly/3o2al0y
What you’ll learn during this webinar presentation
Anna Pollack’s research focuses on the relationship between environmental chemical exposures and fertility, pregnancy, and gynecologic health. Critical to understanding these endpoints, she investigates biological mechanisms underlying these processes, such as biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and endocrine disruption. Dr. Pollack’s research is based in the theory of critical windows of exposure, which emphasizes that the timing of exposures can result in permanent changes. Dr. Pollack’s research also addresses disparities in exposure, which stem from environmental and occupational sources.
Prior to joining George Mason University in 2013, Dr. Pollack was trained in reproductive and environmental epidemiology, and epidemiologic methods. She received her PhD in epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University, MPH in environmental and occupational health from George Washington University, and BA in biology from Smith College. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

The first half of Know Your Endo dives deep into the ins and outs of endo and how it can impact all aspects of peoples’ lives. The second half shares a progressive five-week plan – with help from the top endometriosis doctors and experts in the field – and is focused on learning a new management tool each week. Tools that can be adapted and customized for every body, so people can create a plan and make lifestyle choices that work best for them.
The book also includes inspiring stories, worksheets, writing prompts, and plans to help guide people through each week.
Jessica, who suffers from endo herself, is on a mission to help those suffering from endo to have more good days than bad and never feel alone in their condition again.

Know Your Endo comes out April 27th, and you can order here.
Speaker Bio: Jessica Murnane is an accomplished author, speaker, and creative consultant. She has spoken and held events for Apple, SXSW, and Charleston Food + Wine just to name a few. She has also been a featured contributor for Goop, Bon Appétite, The Cut, Shape Magazine, and more.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Bingham is an advocate of endometriosis. Her journey with symptoms began at age 17 yrs. Unlike a large portion of persons with endometriosis, she did not experience regularly painful and heavy menses. While her symptoms generally occurred around the menstrual cycle, Her symptoms were always associated with the intestinal tract, urinary and respiratory systems. Fast forward nearly 30 years without a diagnosis. Following a history of recurrent lung collapses, multiple misdiagnoses, and dismissal of her concerns, a rapid decline in health led her to the Center for Endometriosis Care in Atlanta, Georgia in 2016. Her own struggle for diagnosis, recognition of the many barriers to diagnosis and treatment for ‘atypical’ endometriosis, in 2018 Dr. Bingham established ‘Extrapelvic Not Rare’, a 501c 3 charity organization to promote awareness, education and facilitate research into and recognition of presentations of endometriosis that lies outside the female reproductive system and local areas. In addition to an established website for information, she is dedicated to the development of projects and partnering with educational and medical institutes, professional organizations, other non-profits, and government agencies to improve awareness and ability to identify presentations suspicious for extrapelvic endometriosis by healthcare professionals and bridge the gap between medicine and the patient experience. She has a Bachelor of Science from Oregon State University, a Master’s of Physical Therapy from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and a transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy from Temple University. Her clinical experience includes in/outpatient rehab settings treating neurological disorders: Traumatic Brain Injury, Stroke, Brain Tumour, Spinal Cord, Neurodegenerative conditions to include Multiple Sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and lesser know conditions). She has also spent time as an in/outpatient clinician for orthopedic conditions. While she loves every niche of physical therapy, her passion is treating persons with complex balance and vestibular (inner ear) conditions that are primary or a consequence of other conditions.

Take30 Webinar: Stepping out of Character (and into ourselves)
2021-05-05 12:00 - 12:30
Topic: Stepping out of Character (and into ourselves)
Presenter: Jericho Bulaun, Transformational Coach & Speaker (IG: @jerichobulaun)
About this Take 30 Webinar:
“The world we have been shown, the one that we’ve been brought up in has always been shaped by the people we keep around us. In our early years, this is our family and as we get older maybe friends, TV, music etc. also have an influence of the characters we build ourselves to be.
Have you ever found yourself questioning why you are the way you are? Have you ever questioned a part of your character, culture, or society?
If the answer to any of those things was yes, then let me help you explore that line of questioning by showing you how we’ve all been living for our whole lives – for other people, through the eyes of what we feel like will be liked and accepted.
How would it feel if we could tap into who we are on the inside…behind all the external things we identify with? In this presentation, we will address this and give you a different perspective on authenticity and confidence.”

Atypical Locations of Endometriosis - Endometriosis Support Group
2021-02-24 15:00 - 16:00
Endometriosis Online Support Group (FREE and open to the public)
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 @ 3 PM, PST
Topic: Atypical Locations of Endometriosis
Guest Presenter: Sadikah Behbehani, MD, University of California Riverside School of Medicine. Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Assistant Professor.
What you’ll learn during this webinar presentation
Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain and infertility. Unfortunately, symptoms may often be dismissed or misdiagnosed especially by physicians who may be unfamiliar with the complexity of the disease. While endometriosis typically grows in the pelvic area, it may also travel to locations outside the pelvis.
Understanding the atypical locations of endometriosis is key in the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of women with pelvic pain. While a multidisciplinary approach is often necessary to target all aspects of the disease, the initial evaluation should be performed by a gynecologist trained in detecting the disease wherever it may be located. Full excision of endometriotic implants, inside and outside the pelvis, is necessary to alleviate symptoms. This talk will focus on atypical locations of endometriosis, and the symptoms associated with disease found in those locations.
Speaker Bio:
Sadikah Behbehani, MD specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility as well as Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. She completed a Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada fellowship at McGill University which allows her to skillfully treat all aspects of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. In addition, Dr. Behbehani has completed a second fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Mayo Clinic and can perform complex pelvic surgeries with both laparoscopy and robotics. Being double fellowship trained, Dr. Behbehani can appropriately treat all surgical conditions, especially those that affect fertility such as endometriosis and fibroids.
