What happens when unapologetic faith collides with functional medicine? Today I sit down with Dr. Austin Lake—DPT, functional medicine practitioner, and creator of the Active Life program—whose straight-talk on women’s midlife health, mindset, and stewardship is…refreshing. We dig into authenticity on social media, why the Church should be the healthiest community on earth, how ancient wisdom keeps getting validated by science, and the power of your words to shape health outcomes.
