Hey Friend, If you've ever said: “I'm doing everything right—but the scale won't budge…” You're not alone—and you're definitely not crazy. In this week's episode of Functional Medicine for Exhausted Career Women, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most common frustrations I hear from high-achieving women:
Hey Friend, How many times have you heard: “Your labs look normal.” But deep down, you know something isn't right. Maybe you're exhausted. Your hair is thinning. Your periods are unpredictable. And yet… every doctor says your bloodwork is fine. In this week's podcast episode, I'm sharing what most women aren't being told:
Hey Friend, Let me ask you a hard question... What if the reason you can't seem to balance your hormones isn't because you're doing it wrong… But because you're starting in the wrong place? I get messages every week from Christian women who are trying all the things—seed cycling, progesterone cream, hormone-balancing supplements, adaptogens, you name it. But they're still exhausted, moody, inflamed, and frustrated. Sound familiar? In this week's podcast episode, I'm sharing the truth most practitioners overlook:
Hey friend, Let's talk about bloating—that frustrating, painful feeling that shows up out of nowhere and makes you feel like a balloon by 3pm. You've tried cutting dairy. Then gluten. You've taken the probiotics, the magnesium, the “gut cleanse” everyone on Instagram is doing... But you still feel miserable. If that's you, I recorded a new podcast episode you need to hear. It's a simple, step-by-step breakdown of what gut healing actually looks like—done in the right order, and in a way that honors how God designed your body to function. ✨ We're not talking about bandaids or fads. We're talking about real healing that starts from the inside out. Whether you've been dealing with daily bloating or just feel like your digestion is off, this episode will help you understand what your body is trying to say—and how to finally get relief.

Hey friend, Let's be honest—trying to figure out which lab tests you actually need can feel confusing (and expensive). I get it. You've probably wondered: Do I really need a full hormone panel? What if my doctor says everything is “normal”? Can I get answers without spending a fortune? This week on the podcast, I'm breaking it all down and sharing the 4 functional labs I recommend to every woman who's just getting started on her healing journey. These labs are clear, affordable, and actually useful. They help us stop chasing symptoms and start getting answers—especially when fatigue, bloating, hormone imbalance, or burnout have become your "normal." I'll walk you through: The lab I always start with (even if budget is tight) The at-home gut test with the funny name—and powerful results How to uncover hidden mineral imbalances and stress patterns And why your genetics can offer clues without becoming a crutch In health, Lacy Lain Before you go… ✨ Join The Functional Hormone Reset Today!If your hormones feel out of control and you don't know where to start, this is for you!

Hey friend, Are you feeling confused by your lab results—even though your doctor said “everything looks normal”? If you're exhausted, struggling with hormone imbalance, or dealing with chronic symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or brain fog… but still not getting answers… this week's episode is for you. On the Functional Medicine for Christian Women podcast, I'm breaking down:
Hey Friend, Can I share something I wish someone had told me a long time ago? You can eat clean, take the supplements, track your hormones, and still feel stuck if your gut isn't working the way God designed it to. I learned this the hard way. I was exhausted, moody, and constantly bloated… and nothing “worked.” Until I shifted my focus to the gut. That's when things finally started to change. → My energy came back. → My cycles leveled out. → My brain fog lifted. So this week on the podcast, I'm sharing 6 reasons why gut health is the foundation for whole-body healing. If you've been feeling dismissed by doctors or discouraged by dead ends, I think this episode is going to give you some serious clarity—and a few simple steps to get started today.

Hey Friend, Ever been told “everything looks normal” while feeling anything but? You're tired. Moody. Gaining weight without explanation. And every time you finally get the courage to ask for help, you're handed a generic answer—or worse, nothing at all. In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing 3 critical things the medical system isn't telling you about your hormones—and what to do instead when you know something is wrong. We'll talk about: Why your symptoms aren't random (and what they're really telling you) The truth about “normal” lab ranges What to do when you feel dismissed by your provider How to find real answers with the labs you already have You are not broken. You are not crazy. And you deserve to be heard.

You're tired, bloated, moody, gaining weight for no reason—and you're starting to wonder if it's time to go deeper with functional lab work.

In today's podcast episode, I'm breaking down why that happens—and what your body might actually be trying to tell you.

This week on the podcast, we're talking about the very first step I take with every single woman I work with inside the Functional Hormone Reset—and it's likely the one you've been skipping (even if you're doing “all the things”). ✨ Spoiler: It's not a fancy supplement or a detox.

Hey Friend, Let's talk about that bone-deep exhaustion that doesn't go away no matter how many early bedtimes, supplements, or protein shakes you try. If you're waking up groggy, crashing at 3PM, and living on caffeine but still feel like you're dragging... that's not just being “tired.” That's chronic fatigue—and it's not fixed by pushing through. This week on the podcast, I'm walking you through the 3 root causes of chronic fatigue I see most often in the women I work with—and the exact shifts you can make today to start feeling better. Here's a peek at what we cover: Why your cortisol rhythm matters more than your bedtime How blood sugar swings are secretly wrecking your energy The missing link between sleep quality and your stress hormones What to do instead of pushing through and blaming yourself Plus, I'm sharing the things that helped me move from surviving to actually living—and how we address these same issues inside the Functional Hormone Reset.

Hey Friend, Let's talk about hormones—because if you've ever felt like yours are “just off,” but no one can explain why, you're not alone. So many women I work with are told their hormone problems are the issue… when really, those symptoms are just messengers pointing to something deeper. In this week's episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, we're going back to the basics—and breaking down what female sex hormones really are, how your body actually produces them, and why cholesterol isn't the villain you've been warned about. Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
Hey Friend, Have you ever been told, “Everything looks normal,” but deep down, you know something isn't right?

In today's episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I'm breaking down: ✅ Why “normal” bloodwork doesn't always mean healthy ✅ The key markers that can reveal hidden imbalances in your body ✅ How functional blood test analysis can finally give you answers to your chronic symptoms If you're tired of feeling dismissed and ready to understand what's really going on in your body, this episode is for you.
Hey Friend, Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating healthy, working out, and yet the scale still won't budge? It's frustrating.

In my latest podcast episode, I'm breaking down: ✅ The real reason your body holds onto weight (hint: it's not because you're not trying hard enough) ✅ The #1 place I start when helping women finally see progress ✅ How balancing blood sugar can make weight loss feel effortless If you're tired of restrictive diets that don't work, this episode is for you!

Hey Friend, Have you ever felt like you've tried every diet, every workout, and every so-called quick fix, yet the weight refuses to budge—or comes right back when it does? You're not alone, and more importantly, it's not your fault. In my latest podcast episode, “Weight Loss: The Basics and How to Lose Weight, Even When You've Tried Everything Under the Sun”, I share why so many weight loss efforts fail and what's really going on beneath the surface. Hint: it's not just about calories or willpower—it's about addressing the root causes through a functional medicine lens. For many Christian women, hormonal imbalances (beyond just estrogen and progesterone) play a key role in stubborn weight gain, low energy, and even bloating. In this episode, I dive into how your body's communication system—including cortisol, thyroid health, and blood sugar balance—impacts your ability to lose weight and feel your best. I also share practical steps to start rebalancing your body naturally, along with encouragement rooted in Biblical wisdom. Because when we approach health the way God designed, amazing things happen.

Hello Friend, Have you ever been told, “Your blood tests are normal,” but deep down you know something isn't right? It's one of the most frustrating things to hear, especially when you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or other unexplained symptoms. Here's the truth: those “normal” lab results might still hold valuable clues about your health—if you know where to look. Your CBC panel, a test you've probably already had done, includes five key markers that can reveal so much about what's really going on inside your body. In this week's episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I break down the CBC differential and explain how Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils, and Monocytes can provide insight into your immune function, inflammation, and even chronic stress. I'll show you why this simple test is often the best starting place for uncovering the root cause of your symptoms—and how you can use it to take the first step toward feeling better.
