 *** Top 3% GLOBAL PODCAST*** Do you wake up feeling tired? Struggle to stay focused all day? Are you frustrated that nothing seems to help you lose weight?

This podcast is your go-to resource to finally take control of your health, feel normal again—energized, clear-headed, and bloat-free—so you can achieve lasting weight loss and confidently show up for the life and people you love. Hey, I’m Lacy Lain, wife, mom, international best-selling author, and Functional Health Practitioner. For years, I searched for answers to my chronic health and hormone struggles within the conventional medical system. I was desperate for a natural solution to address what my body truly needed. But all I found were dismissals like “everything looks normal,” prescriptions I didn’t want, endless referrals, and even “maybe it’s all in your head.” I finally realized that to feel like myself again, I had to take my health into my own hands and uncover the root causes of the imbalances holding me back. Through functional medicine, I created a personalized health plan tailored to MY body, and now I’m here to help YOU do the same. If you’re ready to: - Find a solution uniquely tailored to YOUR body. - Discover natural, holistic strategies for lasting health. - Reclaim your energy, lose weight, balance hormones, and feel clear-headed again… Pull up a chair, grab your notebook, and let’s dive in!

    130. Stumped on Fixing the Hormone Puzzle? This Episode Will Help (Part 1)
    Nov 27 2025
    Hey Friend, f you’ve ever felt stumped by your hormones, like no matter what you try nothing seems to make sense, this new two-part podcast series is going to help you breathe again. This week on Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I’m breaking down the hormone puzzle in a way that’s simple, Biblical, and actually makes sense. And spoiler: 👉 It’s not about finding the perfect supplement. 👉 It’s not about pushing harder. 👉 It’s not about guessing what’s wrong. It’s about lifestyle medicine and the God-designed rhythms that your hormones depend on to function. In this two-part mini-series, I walk you through: ✨ Why hormone protocols feel overwhelming and rarely solve the root issue ✨ The five lifestyle pillars that carry most of your hormone balance ✨ Which supplements can help and why they will never fix lifestyle gaps ✨ How stress, sleep, nourishment, and rest create hormonal stability ✨ Why perimenopause chaos is a communication issue, not a failure of your body If you’ve been trying to do this on your own and feel stuck, confused, or discouraged, friend, you don’t have to keep guessing.

    129. The SEX Episode: A Needed and Open Conversation for Christian Women w/ Brittany Braswell & Shaela Daugherty
    Nov 20 2025
    Hey Friend, Today’s episode is one so many Christian women have quietly asked for, and I finally decided it was time to bring it into the light. I just released a brand-new podcast episode The Sex Episode! It’s honest, gentle, and based on truth. If you’ve ever struggled with shame around your body, your story, or intimacy within marriage… this conversation will give you language, compassion, and hope. Inside the episode, we talk about: Why shame shows up in our bodies How our past experiences shape our view of intimacy The difference between cultural narratives and biblical truth What healing can actually look like for Christian women This is one of those episodes that many women will listen to in the car or on a walk with headphones in, just to have a safe space to think and breathe.

    128. Why you keep “doing everything right” and still not seeing results with guests Shaela Daugherty and Brittany Braswell
    Nov 13 2025
    Hey Friend, Have you ever cut out your favorite foods, tried the “next best diet,” and still ended up right back where you started… or worse? In this week’s episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I sat down with two of my favorite people to talk about the real reason so many Christian women feel like they are doing everything “right” in their health and still not seeing lasting results. You will hear from: Shaela Daugherty, host of the Simple Fitness Habits podcast Brittany Braswell, host of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast Together, we talk honestly about: Why fad diets like keto, “no carbs,” or extreme clean eating can backfire on your hormones, metabolism, and stress levels How chronic dieting can push your body into “starvation mode,” raise cortisol, and make weight loss harder over time Why “I just need to be more disciplined” is not the real problem How diet culture feeds comparison, obsession, and shame instead of true freedom in Christ The difference between quick-fix results and long-term, sustainable health habits What it actually looks like to surrender your health to the Lord and start rebuilding trust with your body This was not a perfectly scripted conversation. We hit record on a real, unedited talk so you could listen in as if you were sitting at the table with us. You will hear stories from our own lives, from clients we have walked with, and some gentle but needed truth about where you are placing your trust when it comes to your body. And if you need a little fun in the middle of all this… stay to the very end. Shaela and I give Brittany a challenge that had all of us laughing, and I think it will give you a helpful picture of just how exhausting fad diet culture can be.
