Najiba contacted Mallika Some after finding her gym centre online. She had PCOS, had been trying to conceive for seven years, and doctors had mentioned IVF. Mallika guided diet and exercise and asked her to wait another year to a year and a half. About a year later Najiba called — she was pregnant. Mallika shares the story as a memorable day, not as a medical claim that exercise cures infertility.

Many students have come to Mallika struggling to get pregnant — some after two years, some after four. One name stays with her especially clearly: Najiba. A short video Najiba sent still lives on Mallika's Instagram profile.
Najiba had been trying for seven years. Her doctor had even suggested IVF. She found a post about Mallika's gym centre on Google, called, and explained her PCOS and how long she had been trying. Mallika's reply was steady: you have tried for seven years — stay with guided exercise and a diet plan for another year or a year and a half; then consider IVF if needed.
The day she took the test and found out she was pregnant, she was obviously happy, but I think I was even happier than she was.
About a year later, Najiba called with the news. For Mallika it was one of the most memorable days of her teaching life — a hunger in a student's heart finally eased. She is careful about credit: she does not know exactly how much the exercise helped, but after years when medicine alone had not brought pregnancy, the timing of that call filled her with quiet pride as a teacher.
Questions students actually ask
Does Body Care treat infertility or PCOS?
No. Mallika can coach exercise and food habits as a supportive practice. Diagnosis, medication and IVF decisions belong with a doctor.
