If you’ve been waking up tired, struggling to get through the workday, or wondering why no amount of sleep seems to help, this episode is for you. We explore the real reasons behind your constant exhaustion—whether it’s hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or chronic stress—and explain why conventional medicine often overlooks these root causes. This isn’t just about getting more rest; it’s about understanding why your body is drained and what you can do to fix it.

You should listen to this episode if you’re tired of being told everything looks “normal” when you know something isn’t right. I walk you through my comprehensive approach to restoring energy using functional medicine, from understanding your bioindividual health needs to addressing the underlying factors that keep you stuck in survival mode. If you’re ready to stop feeling so drained and start living with sustainable energy, this episode will give you the insight and tools to start making that change today.

In health,

Lacy Lain
