Ep. 267 From Bodybuilding Burnout to Functional Healing: Fixing Gut Health, Hormones, and Autoimmune Symptoms with Lacey Iskra

Ep. 267 From Bodybuilding Burnout to Functional Healing: Fixing Gut Health, Hormones, and Autoimmune Symptoms with Lacey Iskra

What if the very habits you believe are making you healthier are actually breaking your body down?

In this episode, I sit down with functional health coach Lacey Iskra in our new home and podcast studio (hehe) to unpack the powerful and complicated journey that led her from bodybuilding and extreme dieting to true root-cause healing. Lacey shares how years of intense training, restrictive nutrition, and pushing through stress eventually left her with hormonal dysfunction, autoimmune symptoms, and a body that felt completely out of balance. Like many women in the fitness space, she was doing everything “right” on paper but still watching her health decline.

Her story reveals how early gut health issues, birth control, chronic dieting, and years without a menstrual cycle quietly compounded into bigger problems later in life. After stepping away from bodybuilding, Lacey began searching for answers and eventually discovered the world of functional health and root-cause healing. Through gut testing, lifestyle changes, and deeper emotional and mindset work, she was able to completely reverse her psoriasis and rebuild her health from the inside out.

Throughout the conversation, Lacey and I break down the biggest mistakes women make when trying to fix their health and why fat loss alone is rarely the real solution. We also talk about the missing link most health protocols overlook: addressing the physical, mental, and emotional pieces together.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but your body still isn’t responding, this episode will help you understand why.

And more importantly, it will show you that healing is possible when you finally start addressing the real root of the problem.
