I am delighted to have Dr. Austin Lake with me for a two-part series.

In Part 1, we discussed women’s health, exploring the importance of informed consent around birth control and of finding the root cause of why it was prescribed for you. Today, in Part 2, we cover many topics, including microplastics, praying before meals, deep breathing, supplements, faith, and nicotine.

If you have not done so already, please listen to Part 1 first.

Ways to regulate your nervous system:

Shift into slow, diaphragmatic breathing when your body feels tense or overstimulated
Make mealtimes a seated, unhurried ritual instead of something done on the move
Reinforce your nervous system balance with proper hydration, minerals, and sufficient magnesium
Build small moments of gratitude and prayer into your daily routine

Bio: Dr. Austin Lake

Dr. Austin Lake is a functional medicine provider, health educator, and founder of Wholly Health, a transformative health program that helps individuals restore energy, balance hormones, and reclaim health using holistic, evidence-based strategies.

He holds a doctorate in physiotherapy, a bachelor’s degree in exercise physiology, and board certification in functional medicine.

He has guided thousands of clients through challenges like chronic fatigue, weight struggles, autoimmune disorders, thyroid imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction—addressing the true root causes rather than masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals or medical procedures.

His passion for holistic health was born out of personal experience: watching his brother battle leukemia, his father suffer multiple heart attacks, and his mother live with autoimmune disease. These trials forged a mission to uncover why people get sick—and how to truly heal.

Grounded in biblical principles, Dr. Lake’s approach integrates faith, science, and natural healing. He empowers individuals to break free from the cycle of prescription dependency and to steward their health with intention. With a following of about 1.5 million across social media platforms, his work reaches a global audience with practical insights, myth-busting education, and faith-driven encouragement.

When not working with clients or educating online, Dr. Lake enjoys time with his wife, Carlie, and their four children, where they live a simple, natural life centered around faith, family, and wellness. He is also a passionate advocate for homeschooling and equipping the next generation for healthy, purpose-filled lives. His mission is simple: to help people reclaim their health, their vitality, and their God-given potential—one life at a time.
