About this episode
Dr. Tabatha Barber has devoted her life to giving women a voice and a choice when it comes to their health and well-being. As a young girl, she struggled with self-esteem and identity issues, dealt with peer-pressure, and survived the ridicule and stigma of becoming a teenage mother. As she shared in her first published book titled, From White Trash to White Coat: The Birth of Catherine’s Purpose, those events led Tabatha to finding her purpose in life.
With perseverance and grace, she was able to redirect her path in life and become a successful physician. Dr. Tabatha Barber is triple board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, menopause, and functional medicine. She has the unique situation of being licensed to practice medicine
in over half the country, so you now have the ability to work with a functional physician
virtually. She is the host of The Functional Gynecologist Podcast; where she shares her
wisdom and knowledge with women everywhere to reclaim their health. She is also a
keynote speaker, mentor, wife, mom, and grandma! By incorporating functional
medicine into her women’s health practice, she is able to provide women with the tools
they need to optimize their health and happiness, which, in turn, allows those women to
pursue their purpose in life.
In today’s episode, Dr. Tabatha teaches that heavy periods, debilitation cramps, and extreme PMS symptoms are not normal, and that there are ways for your body to heal. As she shares about the Gut-Gyn Connection, we learn that the gut impacts our hormones, and that as we work to heal our gut, we balance our hormones in the process.
