Episode 245- What to Fix First: Gut, Sleep, Detox or Hormones? with Dr. Austin Lake


Listen Later

So many women feel broken, exhausted, and out of alignment with their bodies—and their faith.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Austin Lake, Christian functional medicine practitioner and founder of Wholly Health, to explore the deeper root causes of hormone imbalance, infertility, adrenal dysfunction, and weight gain through a biblical lens.

Dr. Lake shares how disrupted circadian rhythm, chronic stress, nutrient depletion, and over-medicalization are keeping women stuck—and how true healing begins by returning to God's design.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

  • Why hormone issues like infertility, PCOS, and fatigue are often misunderstood

  • The dangerous over-reliance on birth control and hormone replacement

  • How circadian rhythm, light exposure, and rest impact female hormones

  • The spiritual consequences of idolizing productivity over healing

  • The importance of restoring biblical identity in the healing journey

  • Why women must return to foundational health—before reaching for hormones

🌟 AND… something big is coming:

I'm hosting a FREE LIVE webinar on Wednesday, Sept 10 I'll teach you all about GLP-1 hormone, GLP-1 agonist meds, how to come off these meds if that's your goal, and natural alternatives to cholesterol and weight loss meds.

Whether it's your circadian rhythm, adrenals, gut, or insulin resistance—you'll leave with clarity on what your body truly needs to heal.
