66. Weight Loss: The Basics and How to Lose Weight, Even When You’ve Tried Everything Under the Sun

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.   In health,  Lacy Lain, FMCHC, LEHP   What's Next?
