Nervous System, Intuition, and the Seven Pillars of BIRTHFIT 🤰🧠✨

Welcome to a deeply empowering episode of Compromised to Alchemized! Today, I speak with Dr. Lindsey, founder of BIRTHFIT—a global movement built on the belief that movement is the bridge to cultivating intuition and trust in the body.

Dr. Lindsey is a force in women's health: a Nervous System-Based Chiropractor, Mercier Therapist, Birth Doula, and NLP Practitioner. She created BIRTHFIT to fill the massive gap in sustainable, nervous system-focused movement and training for women in every life cycle—preconception, pregnant, and postpartum.

At the core of her work is the Polyvagal Theory and the concept that a baby is a hitchhiker on the mother’s nervous system. We dive into how safety, regulation, and core values (LOVE, FREEDOM, CONNECTION) dictate the entire journey of birth and healing.

We talk about how BIRTHFIT was founded, how the seven pillars of BIRTHFIT evolved and we also discuss the wave that is coming to nurture community and rebuild support systems.
