She also explains how her birthing experience inspired her to develop various programs and offerings at Birthfit.

Listeners will learn about the seven pillars of optimal birth and the benefits of adhering to them. According to Lindsey, several aspects are non-negotiable before, during, and after pregnancy: hydration, a well-balanced diet, quality sleep, and, of course, mild to moderate exercise. The transition into motherhood is one of the most physically and mentally demanding experiences a person can go through, and approaching it actively and thoughtfully is essential.
