About Dr. Amina Goodwin, MD

Dr. Amina Goodwin, MD is double board certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease, with over 25 years of experience treating some of the sickest patients in the hospital, then following many of those same patients afterward in clinic to see what actually helped them get well long term. That experience became the BEAM Blueprint, her framework for treating metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes and prediabetes naturally, helping patients significantly reduce their medication doses and, when caught early enough, come off them altogether.

Her infectious disease training means that when infections like UTIs, yeast infections or skin infections keep coming back, she looks for the reason, not just the next antibiotic.

Today she runs a virtual metabolic and functional health practice, Whole Health Solutions, seeing patients for prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, weight loss, PCOS/PMOS, advanced peptide therapy, recurring infections, and second opinions. She is licensed in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Idaho, Oregon, and Antigua & Barbuda.

Dr. Goodwin's philosophy is simple: the smallest effective dose of medication for the shortest time needed, food and lifestyle first. She is the author of Beaming Health and lives in Meridian, Mississippi.

My Story

I grew up in Antigua and trained as a doctor at the University of the West Indies. Medicine was never just a job for me. It is a calling to actually help people get well and stay well, not just manage their symptoms.

Over years of practicing hospital medicine, I kept seeing the same pattern. Patients came in with high blood sugar, high blood pressure, extra weight, and all the complications that come with these conditions. The answer was almost always another prescription, at the highest tolerated dose. Rarely did anyone in the hospital ask what they were eating, how they were sleeping, or how much stress they were carrying.

I wanted to practice medicine differently. That is why I started Whole Health Solutions, a place where we treat the whole patient, not just the lab value, and where food and lifestyle changes come before more medication, not after.

Why I Do This Work

I still work part time in hospital medicine, and it reminds me every single shift why Whole Health Solutions is needed. I see people who are sicker than they need to be, simply because nobody sat down with them and asked about their daily habits.

You deserve a doctor who has time for that conversation, someone who will look at your whole life, not just your latest lab result, and help you build a plan that actually fits how you live.

That is what I want for you. Real answers. Real care. A path forward that does not start and end with a new prescription.
