Dr. Tabatha Barber, an OB-GYN, combines intermittent fasting with functional medicine to help women over 40 rebalance hormones and energy. She treats fasting as both a physical reset and spiritual practice, arguing it works better than conventional medicine for restoring skin, hair, and weight.
After40, you should just be getting better and better. You should look better, you should function better, you should feel better. Life should get better. Okay, if you are going down instead of up, we need to shift some things. That is what I'm here to help you with. I have navigated this for myself. I'm almost 50, and I've navigated this for thousands of women. And you truly can live a life that you love and have thriving health in all aspects of your life. You can have a thriving life, but you have to do a few things differently. Okay? You can release that stubborn weight. You can feel amazing. You can have all the energy you're looking for. You can have healthy hair. I promise you. You can have nice skin. You can have a weight that you maintain and feel comfortable in your clothes, and you feel comfortable sharing your body. Like all of these things you can have. I used to struggle with chronic joint pain, chronic back pain. I've had surgeries that have failed me, herniated discs. I had an uncontrollable autoimmune condition. Hashimoto's that is now in remission have unlocked a lot of these secrets that just aren't in the conventional medical space. Here. I am a traditionally trained OB GYN thinking I'm a women's health expert, because that's what I'm called. I. I went through menopause training through the North American Menopause Society. Like, I did all the right things to try and understand why women in midlife struggle. Yet I was struggling, my patients were struggling. There were pieces missing. And I went on a wellness journey. Like, I went and I researched and I studied, and I found an entire world of health and wellness that I knew nothing about as a conventional doctor, because they are two separate worlds. Okay? You are not going to get health and wellness and vitality from your conventional doctor. They are in the disease world. They are focused on diagnoses and. And band aid medicine, giving you medications, okay? So you gotta do things differently in this second half of your life. And incorporating functional medicine is key because unfortunately, what they don't realize is all disease begins in the gut and all health begins in the gut. So gut health is really important to me. You'll hear me talk about that a lot. Having gut issues is why I developed an autoimmune condition at 17 years old. And your gut and your liver, they impact your hormones. They can cause you the major hormone imbalances, and it's not necessary. We have ways to figure all this out and to get you healthy and feeling Amazing. Again. Okay, so what I've come to understand, there are a few key things you need to heal. Your gut, love on your gut and liver, to have healthy, balanced hormones, healthy thyroid, healthy adrenal system to slow the aging process. All of it, you have to incorporate a fasting lifestyle. You can't eat food from dusk until dawn and expect yourself to be healthy. God created our bodies to go through times of fasting and then feasting. I have created an entire progressive fasting program called Fast to Faith, based on the fact that we need to be in a feast, famine cycle. We need to cycle our carbohydrates, especially as women. And we need to see fasting as a superpower from God, because that is what it is. Our bodies were created to heal. Okay? I was a surgeon for 15 years. I would cut people open, you know, remove the uterus, remove the tumors, remove the baby, sew you all back up. When I put those sutures in the uterus or the muscle or the fascia or the skin, that doesn't actually heal. You shut. That just approximates the tissues back together. And your body does the healing. Your body grows the tissues back together. We have to believe in our body's ability to heal again. So it's really important for you to understand. Your body heals itself. The white coats, we don't do the healing. We can guide you and a lot guide you in the wrong direction. So I am here to guide you toward health and wellness and restoration. And you can get there. I promise you. Okay. So it's about incorporating an intermittent fasting lifestyle in the progressive way that I have laid it out. Women thrive. It's, like, amazing. Watching their transformations and seeing them get their hormones balanced and sleeping through the night and releasing that excess weight and getting their energy back, it's all so good. And my program, I use the unstoppable strength that we get from Jesus. So if you study the Word, the Bible is a living, nourishing word. It is talking to you about your daily life and how to live your life. So if you can figure that piece out, you can really become unstoppable. Those are my core messages of how I practice in my medical practice, how I, you know, lay out my online programs and how I teach everything that I've come to learn and understand. Because you have to reconnect the body with the mind and the soul. The soul has to be nourished. So we fast our body, feed our soul. That is how we reclaim our health and have healthy, balanced hormones. So I'm so glad you're here. Please hit the subscribe button.
