#202: Want to Be a Better Version of Yourself?

Hey beautiful, it's Dr. Tabatha. I want to share something with you that I believe God is doing right now in women's health. We're in the middle of a massive movement and most people don't even know it. Every single day, 6,000 women in the U.S. enter menopause. That's over 2 million women a year, and by 2030, that's more than 1.2 billion women worldwide. So here's the thing, most of these women feel exhausted, bloated, anxious, disconnected from themselves, and the medical system is Doctors are handing out prescriptions and quick fixes, and no one is helping women heal from the root cause of their issues. That's where Fast to Faith coaches come in. As a certified coach, you'll be equipped to help midlife women balance their hormones, heal their gut, regain their energy, and reconnect their faith, the foundation that so many of us have been missing. And from a business standpoint, woo, this is one of the most lucrative untapped opportunities in the entire health coaching world. The global health coaching industry is expected to reach over $33 billion by 2023, and midlife women are the fastest-growing, highest-spending demographic in that space. Most importantly, these women stay with their coaches. They invest deeply because they are desperate for lasting transformation— body, mind, and spirit. So if you've been feeling that pull and that whisper that you're meant to do more, This is it. Now is the time to rise, to serve, and build a purpose-driven business that not only changes other women's lives but transforms your own in the process.

Because when you help one woman heal, you help her family, her marriage, her faith, and her future.

That's the ripple effect that we're creating with Fast to Faith. So join me, click the link to come watch this webinar. It might be the one thing that really moves the needle for you in this Next season. I can't wait to see you in there.

Hi, I'm Dr. Tabatha, the Gutsy Gynecologist. I'm a triple board-certified OB-GYN and functional medicine physician. I've embraced the world of functional medicine and wellness through my own personal health journey, and I'm super excited to share my wisdom and unique perspective as it pertains to women's health.

No more Band-Aid medicine, ladies. We're talking root cause resolution on this show. So if you're struggling with hormone imbalance, weight gain, period issues, anxiety, insomnia, you name it, then you've come to the right place. And I want to be your gutsy gynecologist. So welcome.

Thank you.

Do you not know your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit? You are not your own. You were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies. That's 1 Corinthians 6, verse 19 and 20. When I read that the first time a year and a half ago, I was taken aback because I never thought of my body as a temple. I abused my body. I honestly treated my body like a garbage can. I would put anything in it and stuff that did not belong in there, like Mountain Dew and donuts and Pop-Tarts and movie popcorn. Just so much garbage. Those are really Frankenfoods. They're not actual foods that God gave us or that have come from the earth. Like, we've created them in the laboratory, in the factory. They're not real. They're not— there's no nourishment to them, okay? And I want you to really understand the difference between these Frankenfoods and what I call faith foods. Faith foods are what God gave us. They either grew out of the ground or they had a mama, you know, animals, vegetables, fruits, things like that. So I am on a mission to teach women how to treat their bodies as a temple the way God intended. God gave you this body For this short earthly time period, I just don't believe this is the end-all be-all. This is a short snippet of time where we're going to learn some major lessons, and we're going to go on to the next version of our energetic being, of our souls. Our souls will continue on without our physical body, but part of growing and being a better person is to take ownership of the body God gave us. Us and to nourish it and honor it and show him like how much we appreciate it. And when you do that, this is what I've learned the hard way. When you do that, life is better in general because you're not in pain. You're not struggling to function and do things. You're not embarrassed of your body. Okay, I get it. As women, this truly impacts all aspects of our life. If we don't feel comfortable with our physical bodies, we're going to struggle to be intimate with our partners. We are not going to want to get dressed up and go out and enjoy hanging out with our friends and doing fun things. We're not going to want to get into a bathing suit and go to the beach with our kids. We're going to make choices That we regret because we're ashamed of our bodies. I did it for too long. I didn't wear a bathing suit from the age of 20 to 28, almost a decade. I didn't wear a bikini because I was ashamed of my body. I was ashamed of my stretch marks, my stretched-out tummy, and comments made by my first husband about my cellulite. Made me too ashamed, and that prevented me from taking my kid to the beach and doing a lot of things I should have been doing as a young mom. And I had huge regret for that. So once your eyes are open and you understand that, you can't go back. You have to do better. And once I started to understand all of this, I had to do better. So. I put the bathing suit on and took the newer babies and kids to the beach and got over my shame and embarrassment of my body because it doesn't matter. And God actually gave us each individual bodies depending on what he wants us to do with our lives. So some of us are strong and stocky because we need to be. God's got us doing some really hard stuff. Some of us are like delicate and beautiful and look like porcelain dolls, and that is what you're supposed to look like and you're supposed to be using for your life. Some are just sleek and graceful, and we get to go watch them dance in the ballet. Like, I am now at a point where I can appreciate another human being's body and its function and not feel jealous and not say, why is— why can't I have that body? Why do— why don't I get to look like that? And I've learned to just say, I appreciate what I look like and how I function and what I do. And that has transformed every aspect of my life. It has made life so much more joy-filled. And I want that for you. I want that for you. You are not going to get that from some strict program where you are depriving yourself and feeling frustrated and beating yourself up and never feeling any love toward yourself. So I really want you to understand that this book that just came out, Fast to Faith, is for you. God told me to write this book for you. He wants you to understand how to love and nourish your body into health and vitality. So if you were with me on one of my group Zoom calls a couple months ago, I did, um, an activity called Future Gazing with God. I teach you how to see yourself through God's eyes and to shift everything that you're really not liking about yourself, or you're really struggling with, and how to flip that on its head, turn it into a completely different future. And so we're gonna— I'm gonna teach you how to create a future you that you are absolutely in love with. What is the dream version of you that you want to be? So if you haven't gotten the book yet, Get the book, go straight to chapter 8, Future Gazing with God. If you've already got the book, I'm so excited because you got the bonuses. You're going to do the live Zoom call with me that you get if you get it. But chapter 8, we're going to teach you how to future gaze with God, and you are going to create a new version of yourself. And then we're going to live into that over this next year because 2025 is going to happen. So do you want to be the same, be stuck in this rut, or worse, do you want to be another 10 pounds heavier and feel even worse and struggle more by the time you get into 2025? Or do you want to look back and go, oh my gosh, I've come so far. I love my body. This is incredible. I'm so proud of myself. I can't even believe I used to feel like that or look like that. Like, if you're ready to do that, get Fast to Faith. Please just check it out, consider it. Obviously have a discussion with God, see what he wants you to do. But I feel like if you've been drawn to me, it's for a reason, because I wrote this book for you. So check it out. I'm also going to teach you how to faith it. Faith it till you make it. Don't fake it till you make it because that doesn't work. But if you faith it till you make it, then you can actually make progress. And progress and consistency create change. So I'm really excited. Thank you so much for your time and your attention and even considering taking this on for yourself. I know that it's going to be incredible and transformative for you, but You have to believe it. You have to be ready. So are you gonna faith it? Okay, I'll see you soon.
