Short YouTube clip by Dr. Tabatha Barber (uploaded Jan 7, 2026) in which she says that, after studying at the Cleveland Clinic Institute for Functional Medicine, she learned that diet strongly affects hormone levels — including production, breakdown, and accumulation — and she feels compelled to share this because it was not taught in traditional OB/GYN training.
I did not learn this as an OB gyn, you guys. I had to go on and study at the Cleveland Clinic Institute for Functional Medicine. And the day I learned this, I just. I can still remember being in that conference room going, what? Why don't I know this? Why don't I know this? As a gynecologist, this is so wrong that I wasn't taught this. So, like, I'm on a mission to share it with everybody. Because you need to understand that what you're putting in your body affects your hormone levels. It affects how your hormone levels, you know, come or go. It's not just about how much you're taking in or how much you're making. It's are you breaking it down properly? Are you accumulating it? And you have way more say in it than the doctors tell you. So that's just a really important point.
