Wellness podcast partner program
The clinical-herbalist sponsor that won't cost you the audience.
Built for wellness podcasters whose listeners can tell the difference between a real plant medicine brand and a contract- manufactured supplement read. Recommend Gaia's Garden in the host-read window, earn 20% on every order your code drives, and book Gaia (Clinical Herbalist + Clinical Yoga Therapist) as a guest for episodes that fit the show.
Why the supplement reads are killing your trust score.
You've heard the math: most wellness podcasts sign 4 to 8 host-read sponsors per quarter, half of which are private-label adaptogen brands or generic CBD reads that listeners Google in 30 seconds, decide they don't respect, and quietly stop trusting your taste over. Trust score is a slow burn but it's your most valuable asset. A clinical-grade product made by a credentialed practitioner doesn't cost you that trust; it adds to it.
Gaia Devi Stillwagon is the maker. Chestnut School Clinical Herbalist, Soul of Yoga Clinical Yoga Therapist. She wrote a book (Harmony Within, 30 Yoga Nidra scripts from her private practice). She grows the herbs in her Arkansas medicine garden, hand-bottles the flower essences in brandy + mountain water using Dr. Bach's 1930s method, and calibrates the tinctures per herb. There is no co-packer. There is no white label. There is no broker chain. Your listener can come visit the farm.
This is the brand you can recommend on a yoga therapy episode, a postpartum nervous-system episode, or a grief-and-bereavement episode without breaking the show's editorial voice.
What podcast economics actually look like
A mid-tier wellness podcast's Year 1, projected honestly.
5,000 downloads per episode, weekly cadence, ~52 episodes in the year. You read a 60-second mid-roll for Gaia's Garden in every episode plus a longer host-read in 8 dedicated episodes (essences, sleep, postpartum, grief archetypes).
~250K listener-impressions for the year. Industry-honest click-through for podcast affiliate reads runs 0.5 to 2%. At 1% click-through and a 6% conversion on /lp/anxiety-quiz or /free-guides, that's 150 first orders for the year. 60 of those enroll in S&S. 8 listeners (the power-user cohort) claim the Founder's Apothecary Kit.
First-order commission: 150 × $7.20 = $1,080
Recurring S&S: 60 retained × 6 mo avg × $3.60 = $1,296
8 Founder's Kits: 8 × $119.70 = $958
Year 1 cumulative: ~$3,334
Larger podcasts (50K+ downloads/episode) typically land $8-20K Year 1 and graduate to Ambassador status by month 4, which unlocks 35% first-order commission and the co-branded /with/your-show LP.
What works as a podcast read.
The free PDF anchor
Don't ask listeners to buy a bottle in a host-read. Send them to a free protocol PDF first (Calm, Sleep, Heart Rhythm, Boundary, Spark Renewal, Clarity Reset, Nervous System, Tension Release). The PDF download earns their email and starts a 5-email nurture sequence that does the bottle sell for you. Your code attribution tracks all the way through.
The 7-question quiz hook
For episodes that don't map to a specific archetype, send listeners to /free-guides. The quiz handles the matching work; the matched LP then carries them to the right bottle.
Gaia as a guest
Episodes on Yoga Nidra, the Bach method, the koshas as a treatment-planning framework, or the evidence base for traditional herbal use all fit her wheelhouse. Reply to your welcome email with your show + sample episode and we'll send a press kit and availability.
