From Khloe's OB-GYN to Podcast Star: Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi's Surprising New Chapter

Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, an OB-GYN to some of Hollywood's most elite stars like Khloe Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, has established her new calling in life - and it may take you by surprise

Celebrity Doctor Turns Podcaster: Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi's Shocking New Venture

In a stunning move, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, the go-to OB-GYN for Hollywood's elite, has traded in her stethoscope for a mic and is now co-hosting the popular podcast "She MD." The show has catapulted to the top 20 podcasts in the health and fitness category in the U.S., and we can't get enough of it!

As an OB-GYN to A-listers like Khloe Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Sofia Richie, Kim Kardashian, and Molly Sims, Aliabadi has seen her fair share of high-profile patients. But now, she's taking on a new challenge: educating women about their health issues.

The celebrity doctor has now become the co-host of a popular weekly podcast called She MD. She previously appeared on episodes of The Kardashians as Khloe's (seen) OB-GYN

"We're not just talking about uterine problems; we're discussing depression, anxiety, PCOS, endometriosis – the whole spectrum," Aliabadi told The Los Angeles Times in an exclusive profile. "These are women who have access to top-notch medical care, but still, their symptoms are dismissed."

Aliabadi's new calling is a far cry from her high-profile patients' glamorous lives. As she navigates the world of podcasting, she's tackling tough topics and shedding light on often-overlooked health issues.

"We're not just talking about uterine problems; we're discussing depression, anxiety, PCOS, endometriosis – the whole spectrum," Aliabadi explained. "These are women who have access to top-notch medical care, but still, their symptoms are dismissed."

Her care has now taken over the airwaves, as she's featured high-profile celebrities like Sofia Richie (seen), Kim Kardashian, and Molly Sims on her show

The podcast's dynamic duo includes Dr. Aliabadi and her co-host Mary Alice Haney, a former fashion designer who encouraged Aliabadi to take on the new venture.

"She's a doctor first, and she's a podcast host second," Haney said of Aliabadi in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. "She's got a passion for educating women about their health."

Aliabadi's expertise is no stranger to the public eye. With over 442,000 followers on Instagram, she's made waves as Khloe Kardashian's OB-GYN and has shared her insights with various news outlets.

Dr. Aliabadi was also the one who diagnosed Olivia Munn with breast cancer ; the actress recentyl shared her story during an episode of She MD

But what sets Dr. Aliabadi apart from other medical professionals? Her unwavering commitment to empowering women through education. "I don't just look at your uterus, tubes, ovaries, breasts, and say, 'You're done.' I talk about depression," she explained.

In a stunning revelation, it turns out that one of Aliabadi's patients is Mayan Lopez, daughter of comedian George Lopez. The young woman visited Aliabadi after experiencing symptoms like weight gain and facial hair since age 10. Aliabadi diagnosed her with insulin-resistant PCOS.

Aliabadi's dedication to her patients' well-being has earned her the respect and admiration of Hollywood's elite. Her podcast has become a go-to resource for women seeking medical expertise, particularly in an era plagued by misinformation on social media platforms like TikTok.

Aliabadi (seen with co-host Mary Alice Haney) shared with the outlet that oftentimes, women will come to her after having years of feeling 'dismissed' by other doctors

"I'm trying to create a reliable medical source for women," Aliabadi stated in The Los Angeles Times profile. "We're going to have a chatbot that will be able to talk with our followers and provide educational information – not prescription advice, but just general knowledge about their health."

The podcast has already made waves with high-profile guests like Sofia Richie, who detailed her harrowing birth story while on the show. Aliabadi was Richie's doctor when she gave birth to her one-year-old daughter Eloise.

In a jaw-dropping revelation, it turns out that Richie suffered complications during pregnancy, including a 32-week premature labor scare and postpartum preeclampsia. Thankfully, Aliabadi's quick thinking saved the day – or rather, saved both mother and child!

During the interview, Aliabadi expressed her frustrations with the medical field, especially as it relates to how expense tests and mammograms are. She's seen with Kris Jenner

Richie recalled waking up feeling "really tired and cramp-y" and experiencing back pains. "I didn't think much of it; I figured it was a normal part of pregnancy," she said.

But Aliabadi wasn't having it. The doctor's swift action led to Richie being hooked up to a monitor, where they discovered she was in active labor at 32 weeks.

"I went home, and I blew up like a balloon – quite literally, just swelled," Richie revealed about her postpartum experience. "My blood pressure was 165/103; it was really scary."

Aliabadi wants women to have more access to information about their health, and is even in the process of training a chatbot to share with her followers

Aliabadi's quick thinking saved the day once again when she sent over her nurse to take care of Richie after she texted the doctor.

In the end, Richie and her daughter Eloise are both healthy and happy – all thanks to Dr. Aliabadi's expertise.

As for Aliabadi, it seems like she's finally found a new calling that brings her true passion to life: educating women about their health. With "She MD" on the rise, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented and dedicated doctor!
