Ep 66 - Exploring Functional Medicine for Women Managing Type 1 Diabetes Over 40, with Lacy Lain

Lacy Lain, a Certified Functional Blood Work Specialist and Functional Medicine Health and Nutrition Coach, is the founder and CEO of Lacy Lain Wellness and the creator of The Lain Protocol for Optimal BALANCED Health. An expert in women's hormone and functional health, Lacy is an international best-selling author featured in major publications like Her View from Home, and she enjoys speaking at international health summits and various women's events. She hosts the weekly podcast "Functional Medicine for Women," dedicated to empowering women to take control of their health.

Lacy and I dive into the complexities of hormone imbalance, menstrual cycles, and the transformative power of functional medicine. She shares her personal journey, from navigating severe health challenges to discovering holistic approaches. We contrast Western medicine with functional health, emphasizing the vital role of lifestyle changes and root cause analysis. The episode explores skin issues, hormonal shifts, and practical tips for enhancing menstrual cycle changes in perimenopause through supplements and lifestyle adjustments.

Get insights on stress management, circadian rhythms, and the essential role of nutrition and hydration in women's functional health.

She shares a story of a client who was struggling and found relief by starting a routine of morning sunlight exposure and aligning with her circadian rhythm. This helped calm her nervous system and soon led to better sleep.
