In episode #241 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast, our guest Samantha Lebicz talks about Gut/Hormone Connection.

More about Samantha:

After 30 years of a processed food diet, very little exercise, feeling incredibly insecure & uncomfortable in her body, Samantha knew it was time to take control of her own health & happiness.

But things got worse before she got better! She jumped head first into everything she could in the online wellness space. She tried every diet, workout program, mindset advice and weight loss trick she came across before she came to 2 critical realizations: She wasn't going to fix her gut, her hormones or self-confidence with weight loss and Trying to do everything was actually making her feel worse.

So she went back to school to become a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner to not only heal her own gut & hormones but to bring this knowledge to the millions of other ambitious women out there who are tired of trying everything out there but still feel held back by their life-disrupting gut & hormone struggles.

And recently, after reaching burnout working as a kindergarten teacher while also trying to build and grow her business, she left the classroom so she could put all her precious energy and passion into spreading this message, helping as many women as possible and reclaiming the joy in her own life. And that risky jump has dramatically improved her life and up-leveled her message to women:

In episode #239 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast, our guest Joni Davis talks about Prenatal Vitamins with Beli.

More about Joni:

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.
