Episode 33: Is Your Gut Blocking Pregnancy? Microbiome, Inflammation + Intuition

Lindsay Goodwin, Natural Reproductive Medicine Expert and Fertility Medium Season 1 Episode 33

Episode Summary:

What if the real key to getting pregnant isn't your hormones but your microbiome?

In this eye-opening episode, Lindsay exposes a critical fertility factor that most clinics don’t test for — the Gut–Womb Axis.

Your gut and womb are in constant communication through:

  • your immune system,
  • your hormones, and
  • your intuition.

And when inflammation is high or the microbiome is out of balance, the body doesn’t say “no.”

It says: “Not yet — it’s not safe.”

You’ll learn how gut + vaginal microbiome health influences:

  • egg quality
  • embryo implantation
  • IVF/IUI success
  • inflammation + estrogen dominance
  • intuition and nervous system regulation

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut — and how that affects hormones.
  • How microbiome imbalance can cause failed IVF cycles, recurrent loss, or unexplained infertility.
  • The overlooked role of Lactobacillus in the vaginal microbiome and implantation success.
  • How male factor infertility connects to gut inflammation and sperm DNA fragmentation.
  • How your gut influences your solar plexus intuition and your womb influences your energetic receptivity.
  • The exact labs and tests to request from your provider (what most clinics don’t offer unless you ask).
