Maybe you’ve been tired for months. Your periods have changed, you’re gaining weight even though you haven’t changed how you eat, and you’re not sleeping well. You’ve seen your provider, tried a few supplements, and you’re still not getting anywhere. In this episode I take you behind the scenes of how I think when a woman comes to me with a complicated health history. I walk through the six things I look at: the timeline, patterns across body systems, what’s already been checked, which way things are trending, what matters most to her, and what we know versus what we still need to find out. I also share why I’m adding a Functional Health Case Review to my Menu of Services, for women who don’t need six months of coaching but do want an experienced set of eyes on the bigger picture.

Have you ever been doing really well with your health goals, only to have life interrupt your routine? Maybe you were exercising consistently, eating well, getting enough sleep, or finally making time for the things that matter most. Then something happened, you lost your momentum, and getting started again felt harder than you expected. I know the feeling! After recording a new episode of If Mama Ain't Healthy (Ain't Nobody Healthy) every week since January 2023, I intentionally stepped away for a break. What was supposed to be about six weeks turned into two months, and one of the things I was afraid would happen actually happened: I lost my motivation to come back! But that experience reminded me of something important about health, habits, and faithful stewardship. You don't have to feel motivated before you begin again. In this episode, we're talking about: Why motivation isn't always what gets us moving again How to restart healthy habits without guilt, punishment, or extreme measures Why beginning again doesn't necessarily mean returning to what you were doing before The importance of identifying your next faithful step instead of trying to change everything at once Some exciting changes I'm making to better serve women who want to take ownership of their health I'm also sharing updates about my new Second Chance 30-day workbook and the Menu of Services I'm developing to make it easier for women to understand the different ways they can work with me. Whether you're struggling to regain momentum with your health, your daily routines, or another area of your life, I hope this conversation encourages you to stop waiting until you feel ready and start taking the next faithful step. READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP WITH YOUR HEALTH? If you've visited my website before and weren't sure exactly how I could help you, I encourage you to visit again! I'm working on a new Menu of Services designed to help women find the right level of individualized support for their needs. Until that menu is available, you're welcome to reach out to me by email or send me a DM on Instagram to learn more about working together. 🌐 Website: https://www.morriswellnessservices.com 📧 Email: [email protected] 📱 Instagram: instagram.com/lori_morris_cnm Remember, you don't have to make up for lost time.

For the first time since January 2023, I'm pressing pause on the podcast for the month of August. When I looked at my calendar and saw the travel, family commitments, work responsibilities, and everything else packed into the month, I realized I had a choice. I could squeeze one more thing into an already full schedule... Or I could practice the very message I've spent years sharing with other women. In this episode, I'm talking about why I chose margin instead of overload, why I believe stewardship sometimes requires saying "no," and why I hope you'll give yourself permission to evaluate your own commitments with the same honesty. This isn't about doing less. It's about doing what God has called you to do in this season and letting that be enough. Thank you for listening, sharing, and encouraging me every week. I'm grateful for this community, and I can't wait to be back with you in September.

Supplements have become the go-to answer for almost every symptom, but what if we've been asking the wrong question? In this episode, Lori explains why supplements should support a healthy foundation rather than replace one. Learn why more pills aren't necessarily making women healthier, the biggest mistake she sees women making, and why a personalized strategy will always outperform another recommendation from social media.

Is perimenopause really just a hormone problem? Or is it revealing something much deeper? In this episode, we're taking a different approach to one of the biggest conversations in women's health today. Rather than debating hormone replacement therapy, we're asking why so many women experience such significant symptoms in the first place. We'll talk about God's design for this season of life, the foundations of health that no prescription can replace, and why supporting the whole body matters regardless of whether you choose hormone therapy. If you're approaching perimenopause—or already in it—this conversation may completely change the way you think about your health.   Apply for your FREE Foundation Call at https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/application   This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

Have you ever been told your labs were "normal," even though you knew you didn't feel normal? You're not imagining things. In this episode, we're discussing one of the biggest frustrations I hear from women: being told everything looks fine while continuing to struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hormone issues, and other symptoms. We'll talk about the difference between normal and optimal lab values, why annual blood work often misses early signs of dysfunction, and how looking at patterns instead of isolated numbers can provide a much clearer picture of what's happening inside the body. If you've ever felt dismissed because your labs were "normal," this episode is for you.   Apply for your Foundation Call here - https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/application    This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

Two hundred episodes ago... well, not quite. But one of the most popular episodes I've ever recorded featured Sue Becker from Bread Beckers discussing the incredible benefits of fresh milled flour. Today, I want to revisit that conversation. I still believe fresh milled bread is one of the most nourishing forms of bread available. But after years of working with women, reviewing labs, and analyzing continuous glucose monitor data, I've also seen that even nourishing foods can impact blood sugar differently depending on the person sitting in front of me. In this episode, we're talking about insulin resistance, the importance of bio-individuality, and how to enjoy fresh milled bread in a way that supports metabolic health. Because health rarely fits neatly into extremes.   Ready to commit to the right mentorship and support you need to finally feel great and be healthy?

If insurance won't cover it, is it still worth doing? Many women have unknowingly adopted the belief that if insurance doesn't pay for something, it must not be necessary. But insurance companies were never designed to determine your goals, your quality of life, your energy, or your future health. In this episode, we're exploring how insurance became the gatekeeper for many healthcare decisions, the hidden costs of waiting for coverage, and why stewardship may require us to evaluate value differently. You'll learn why the question isn't simply "Will insurance cover it?" but rather "Will this help me become the woman God has called me to be?" If you've ever delayed investing in your health because something wasn't covered, this episode is for you.

What if the birth control pill changed more than fertility? In this episode, we explore how one of the most influential medications in modern history may have changed the way we think about symptoms, health, and the human body itself. We'll discuss the difference between symptom management and health restoration, body literacy, women's relationship with their cycles, and why asking better questions may be one of the most important skills in health. This conversation is not about judging women or demonizing medication. It's about examining a shift in thinking that still influences healthcare today.

Modern life has made almost everything easier. So why are women more exhausted, inflamed, anxious, overstimulated, and disconnected from their bodies than ever before? In this episode, we talk about the hidden cost of convenience, why quick-fix culture keeps women stuck, and why true healing often requires a completely different mindset than modern culture teaches us. This conversation is for women who are ready to stop reacting and start rebuilding health intentionally.   This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

Is the sun really the enemy? In this episode, we unpack the modern fear surrounding sunlight, the rise of SPF culture, vitamin D deficiency, and why many women may actually benefit from more intentional sun exposure—not less. We also discuss concerns about common sunscreen ingredients, inflammatory lifestyles, and practical ways to approach sunlight wisely without recklessness or fear.

You will walk away encouraged.  This is a message from Brad Burkett, the assistant minister at West End church of Christ in Livingston, TN.   If tired of stubborn weight and feeling terrible, and you're ready for real change in your body, mind, and spirit, I'm currently enrolling new clients!
