Testing, Not Guessing: When to Go Deeper with Intuitive Health by Grace, featuring Functional Bloodwork Specialist Lacy Lain
Do you feel like you do all the right things for your health, but still don’t have the answers?
If you’ve ever done rigorous elimination diets, followed a strict regimen of health but you still didn’t move the needle on feeling better for your life, this episode is for you.
While we firmly believe you need a solid grasp on how to listen to your own body’s cues, no matter how body-aware we are, we might be missing important information lying under the surface.
The best way to go deeper with your health and make sure you’re on the right track is to get regular bloodwork to check on deeper health indicators.
That’s why we are excited to share this conversation with Lacy Lain, functional bloodwork specialist on how she entered into this field, and what you need to know if you’re considering getting other bloodwork done.
Lacy knows what it’s like to have her bloodwork come back as “normal,” and yet she felt anything but normal for her health.
If you, too, want more answers for your health and have been considering seeing a bloodwork specialist, Lacy shares her testimony and gives us some practical advice on how to move forward in faith.

How to Find a Functional Bloodwork Specialist You Can Trust
In the functional medicine world, it seems like there is a protocol for everything. However, a protocol, like a formula, cannot always be applied to each person’s case.
If you want to work with a functional bloodwork specialist and want some parameters of what to look for, Lacy gives this advice: find someone that is not simply selling a protocol but is actually looking at your labs to look for a solution fit for you.
