• 119. Why Hormones Aren’t Your Problem and What the Root Cause of Your Health Issues Really Is
    Aug 28 2025

    Hey Friend,

    Your hormones aren’t the problem

    Most women believe if they could just “fix” their hormones, everything would finally get better.
    But here’s the truth: your hormones aren’t the problem — they’re the messengers.

    When your blood sugar, stress, inflammation, or detox systems are out of balance, your hormones send signals to let you know something deeper needs attention.

    In Episode 4 of my podcast series, I’m unpacking:
    ✔ Why chasing hormone levels doesn’t work long-term
    ✔ The key stressors that throw your hormones out of balance
    ✔ A belief shift that takes you from overwhelmed to empowered
    ✔ How God designed your body’s hormones as truth-tellers, not enemies

    If you’ve been frustrated by hormone symptoms that never seem to resolve, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a practical path forward.

    Your hormones aren’t broken — they’re speaking. And with the right support, you can finally listen and heal.

    In grace & health,

    Lacy Lain, BCFHP, FMCHC, LEHP

  • 118. Why Nothing Has Worked So Far, and What Functional Medicine Does Differently
    Aug 19 2025

    Hey Friend,

    Have you ever thought, “I’ve tried everything, and nothing works”?

    You’re not alone. So many women I work with have been there — frustrated by diets, supplements, prescriptions, or protocols that don’t last. It feels hopeless.

    But here’s the truth: it’s not that you’ve tried everything… it’s that you haven’t addressed the root cause yet.

    In Episode 2 of my new podcast series, I’m sharing:
    ✔ Why surface-level fixes don’t work long-term
    ✔ How to reframe your symptoms as signals, not failures
    ✔ A belief shift that can restore hope and direction
    ✔ My personal turning point story of realizing I wasn’t broken

    If you’ve been discouraged, thinking you’ll never feel normal again, this episode will give you the clarity and encouragement you need to take the next step.

    Your body isn’t broken — it’s asking for help. And with God’s perfect design for your body, healing is possible.

    In grace & health,

    Lacy Lain, BCFHP, FMCHC, LEHP

  • 117. How to Restore Your Energy, Balance Your Hormones, and Live Fully... Without Guessing or Going It Alone
    Aug 14 2025

    Hey Friend,

    Have you ever been told your labs are “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, anxious, or foggy?
    You’re not imagining things — your symptoms aren’t in your head. They’re signals.

    In the very first episode of my brand-new podcast series, I’m pulling back the curtain on:

    • The truth about “normal” labs (and why that doesn’t mean optimal health)

    • How missing pieces in your health puzzle are keeping you stuck

    • Why your symptoms will only get louder until you respond

    • The first step toward finally feeling normal again

    I’m also sharing part of my own story — the moment I realized I wasn’t “crazy,” I just didn’t have the whole picture yet — and how this shift changed my health forever.

    If you’ve been wondering whether you’ll ever get your energy, focus, and peace back — this episode will give you hope, clarity, and the next steps to move forward.

    Your body isn’t broken — it’s asking for help. And you can heal with the right support.

    In grace + health,

    Lacy Lain

  • 115. Frustrated With Doctors Who Dismiss Your Symptoms? How Functional Medicine Finds the Answers
    Aug 7 2025

    Hey Friend,

    Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling more confused—or dismissed—than when you walked in?

    You’re tired. Moody. Foggy. Hormones feel off.
    But the doctor says your labs are “normal” and you’re “fine.”

    If that frustration sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy.
    In this week’s episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I’m sharing:

    🔍 Why conventional medicine keeps missing the real root of your health struggles
    🧩 The powerful puzzle analogy that explains exactly what’s happening
    🧬 How functional medicine finds the missing pieces (often using labs you already have!)
    🙏 A Biblical perspective on why your symptoms are not a punishment—they’re a message

    💡 If you're craving answers and peace, this episode will meet you right where you are.

    In grace + health,

    Lacy Lain

  • 114. Step-by-Step Tutorial on Understanding Hormone Symptoms: So You Can Stop Feeling Lost
    Aug 5 2025

    Hey Friend,

    Have you ever felt like your hormones are completely off, but you can’t figure out what’s actually wrong—or how to fix it?

    Your labs say “normal,” but you feel anything but normal.

    Mood swings, fatigue, heavy cycles, anxiety, weight gain, insomnia…
    Friend, your body is not broken.
    It’s communicating with you. You just need the right lens to interpret the message.

    🎧 In today’s podcast episode, Step-by-Step Tutorial on Understanding Hormone Symptoms, I walk you through a simple process to:

    • Track and decode your hormone-related symptoms

    • Match them to the systems actually causing the dysfunction (adrenals, thyroid, gut, etc.)

    • Focus on the real root causes—like blood sugar, stress, and inflammation

    • Learn how to look at your existing labs through a functional lens

    • Stop feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or like you’re guessing all the time

    This episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and ready to take action without the stress.

    💌 And if you’re ready for a calm, Christ-centered space to learn and heal with me?
    Email me at lacy@functionalhealthforwomen.com and I’ll send you the link to join the Women’s Functional Health Lab as a founding member. We would love to welcome you in.
