THE WHOLESOME FERTILITY PODCAST
EP 262 Aligning the Energetics of Your Fertility | Lindsay Goodwin
On today’s episode, I interview an amazing acupuncturist and graduate of my online fertility coaching program Lindsay Goodwin!
Lindsay Goodwin has over a decade of fertility and women's health expertise. She is a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist, Chinese Medicine herbalist, and certified fellow on ABORM: The Acupuncture & TCM Board for Reproductive Medicine. In addition, Lindsay is a certified soul-mastery coach, hypnotherapist, EFT practitioner, meditation instructor, intuitive medium, and spirit baby channel. Lindsay's approach combines scientific knowledge with spiritual energy healing, allowing her to provide highly effective treatments. She has successfully assisted numerous women with their fertility and hormonal issues, and many clients have credited her programs and healing style for completely transforming their lives.
Lindsay's mission is to integrate science and energy to support women and couples struggling with infertility, offering them the best possible results. She was inspired to pursue this integration after realizing that some of her patients on a fertility journey needed more support they were not receiving. By providing spiritual support alongside traditional evidence-based treatment methods, Lindsay witnessed quicker and more profound manifestations of miracles in her patients' lives.
One of Lindsay's most significant accomplishments is her ability to help even the most challenging cases, often leading to healthy pregnancies. In addition to supporting women on their fertility journey, Lindsay offers programs focused on intuitive development, gaining clarity from universal wisdom, and healing from past traumas using neuroscience and mindset techniques. Currently, Lindsay is working on two books: one about the energy of fertility manifesting and another about healing from past traumas and overcoming self-limiting beliefs.
Lindsay resides in Denver, Colorado, where she runs a local women's health natural medicine and acupuncture clinic. She also has a product line, Garnet Moon, which features organic skin and beauty care, all-natural healing products, and crystal healing stones.

EP 259 What to Consider When Choosing a Prenatal | Joni Davis
Joni Hanson Davis is the female founder of Kirkland, Washington Femtech company Beli, modernizing reproductive, prenatal, and fertility health based on the latest nutritional science with one small, yet significant act of a daily prenatal vitamin for both men and women. After a long successful career leading Fortune 500 companies and technology startups to IPO, Davis founded Beli in 2018 with a personal mission to address the growing crisis of infertility and modernize the stagnant prenatal vitamin market. The fertility market is a $24B market, and yet prenatal vitamins still haven’t caught up with modern nutritional science. 50% of all infertility can be traced to male infertility and nutrition plays a major role in successful pregnancy outcomes and science led Beli to look deeper at how nutrition plays a vital role in sperm health, launching the first modern male prenatal in 2019. Today, thousands of men across the country are using Beli and the company has built a following of loyal customers including heavy-hitter celebrity customers. The success of the men’s prenatal vitamin led Beli to launch an exclusive women’s prenatal in 2021 based on the latest folate and choline research to address both male and female fertility nutrition together. Beli has grown organically to become a profitable company with a multi-million dollar run rate with a small investment from strategic angel investors in the direct to consumer space in less than two years. Beli will be raising a Series A round this summer to further accelerate its strong growth. Prior to Beli, Davis held executive positions with Microsoft, InfoSpace, and Tableau Software.

EP 253 Surrendering to the Big O & Why it Matters for Baby Making | Willow Brown
DR. WILLOW BROWN holds a doctorate in Chinese Medicine. She blends ancient Taoist philosophy with sexual and spiritual practices that ignite the soul's true calling. She is devoted to the sexual healing of humanity and works to promote and open receptive pleasure pathways in each person she works with.
As these pleasure pathways open, your cellular body begins to open with sensuality and love, and your body shifts somatically. Clearing away all previous pretenses about who you think you should be so that you may become who you are meant to be. According to modern neurological studies, being in peace, happiness, and bliss is better for a long and happy life than any diet fad, exercise regime, or supplement.
These avenues to health and vitality can augment the inner peace and happiness that you will arrive at when you work with Dr. Willow. She works with her clients and patients on every level, physical, spiritual, emotional, and psychological. You will not find a more holistic approach to a long, happy, healthy life.
