Functional Medicine for Women

Hey friend, You're halfway through your day… and suddenly, you're spiraling. Craving something sweet or salty Snapping at your people Feeling wired, tired, and maybe a little foggy Sound familiar?

We'll cover: The science behind blood sugar crashes (in simple terms!) How your breakfast and morning rhythm set up your entire day 5 easy things you can do right now to feel steady again What your nervous system has to do with your cravings, emotions, and energy And how this all ties back to God's design for rhythm and rest If you've been running on caffeine, shame, and survival mode, this episode will feel like a deep breath.

Hey Friend, Let's play a quick game of true or false: – Blood sugar is only something diabetics need to worry about.– Healthy foods like oatmeal and fruit can't hurt your hormones.– Skipping breakfast helps your metabolism. If you said “true” to any of those… this week's podcast episode is going to be a total eye-opener (in the best way). In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest myths I see Christian women believing about blood sugar—and how those myths are quietly sabotaging their energy, sleep, metabolism, and hormone balance. You'll learn: Why blood sugar is the foundation of hormone healing (even if you're not diabetic) What's really happening in your body when you crash at 10AM or crave chocolate at 3PM The simple formula I use to build blood sugar–balancing meals (no tracking required) How the way you eat reflects God's design for rhythm, peace, and nourishment If you've been tired, foggy, frustrated, and feeling like nothing works… this episode is your next right step. You don't have to overhaul your life. But you do need to understand this foundation.

Hey Friend, If you've been googling symptoms, switching supplements, and still asking yourself, “Why do I feel like this?”—I want to let you in on something that changes everything. 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. It's blood sugar balance. Here's why that matters: when your blood sugar swings all day, your cortisol, estrogen, progesterone—even your thyroid—start to go haywire. In this episode, I break down: What's actually happening in your body when your blood sugar is off How it creates hormone chaos (even if your cycle is "regular") The exact formula I teach inside FHR to balance your meals + stabilize your energy Why this ONE shift creates the environment your body needs to heal from the root You'll also learn how your sleep, stress, and caffeine habits are either helping or hurting your hormones—and how to start making real progress without more guessing.

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, Have you been feeling exhausted even after a full night of sleep? Are you craving sugar or salt constantly… or depending on caffeine just to function? If so—your adrenals might be waving a white flag. This week on the podcast, I'm walking you through something so many women deal with (but rarely get answers for): adrenal fatigue. You'll learn: What adrenal fatigue really is (in simple terms) How chronic stress impacts your hormones, energy, and mood How to stay out of burnout once you begin to heal And 3 key red flags that signal you're headed for exhaustion again Whether you're in the middle of a high-stress season or just feel like something's “off” in your body, this episode is going to give you clarity, hope, and real tools.

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. In health, Lacy Lain, FMCHC, LEHP P.S. If you've ever felt dismissed by conventional doctors, I made this episode with you in mind. Let's start finding the answers your body is trying to tell you.

Does this sound familiar? "I'll start on Monday.""Once this project is done, then I'll focus on myself.""When "fill in the blank" season is over, I'll have more time." If you've ever caught yourself saying these things, you're not alone. I've been there too. But here's the hard truth: those “some days” often turn into never. This week on the Functional Medicine for Exhausted Career Women podcast, I'm sharing an episode that hits close to home. It's all about why we put our health on the back burner and how to reframe our mindset for a God-centered, sustainable approach to wellness. In this episode, I share: A deeply personal story about how neglecting health impacted my family. The three biggest reasons we delay prioritizing our health. Scriptural truths, like Proverbs 4:23, reminding us why our health matters to God's purpose for us. Practical strategies for small, impactful changes you can make today. You'll walk away feeling empowered, not guilty, and with tools to start honoring God with your health—even in the busiest seasons of life. Here's what I want you to know:Taking care of your health isn't about perfection. It's about making intentional choices and trusting God to guide you through them. If this message resonates with you, take a moment to reflect on one small change you can make today to prioritize your health. And don't forget to pray and ask God for wisdom and strength to walk this path. I also created a free resource to help you start taking action today.
