Some people spend decades looking for healing in supplements, prescriptions, and the next trendy protocol—when what’s really missing is something deeper.

It’s how we see our bodies.

That’s what hit me when I sat down with Dr. Austin Lake—functional medicine practitioner, physiotherapist by training, and someone whose journey into natural healing was shaped by real trauma, loss, and a relentless curiosity to figure out what actually works.

Austin isn’t here to throw another supplement at you or tell you to “just detox.” He’s been on the ground, one-on-one, helping women—especially those with autoimmune issues, fatigue, thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances—get their lives back. And what he teaches comes from experience, not theory.

In this episode, we go deep into the root causes of chronic pain and hormonal disruption, the spiritual cost of ignoring the body, and the big lie we’ve all been told—that our genes matter more than our choices.

He breaks down how estrogen dominance is tied to gut dysfunction, why your mitochondrial energy is tanking, and how improving cellular health changes everything. We talk about the toxic burden from our environment, our food, our beliefs, and how to stop outsourcing responsibility for our health to broken systems.
