    The Enemy in Your Pantry: How Food Becomes Spiritual Warfare

    In this episode, I open up about one of the enemy’s sneakiest battlefields—our food. From the very first temptation in the Garden to today’s processed snacks lining our shelves, I share why I believe food is more than nutrition—some of it’s spiritual warfare. You’ll hear how the gut and the microbiome can literally “order takeout” through cravings, how yeast overgrowth hijacks our decisions, and why healing at the root cause level isn’t just about digestion—it’s about freedom. But this episode isn’t just about food. It’s about you. If you’ve ever felt called to root cause healing but fear has kept you stuck, I’ll challenge you to see the cost of inaction in your life, your family, and your patients’ lives. Other people’s healing is waiting on the other side of your yes. Ready to step into your calling? Learn how our Passive Clients model can help you save time, earn more, and finally put your life back in order—with God first, family second, and work last—exactly how it should be. 👉 Start now at functionalmedicinewithlauren.com/start-now
