In this personal monologue, Dr. Tabatha Barber recounts the onset of severe fatigue that prompted her first medical visit, describing how she would arrive at destinations only to collapse from exhaustion. She reflects on the five‑year journey toward wellness, emphasizing that recovery is non‑linear and requires continual adjustments and grace. The speaker identifies managing stress, anxiety, and internal turmoil—alongside embracing self‑acceptance—as the pivotal turning point. She also highlights the three core lifestyle pillars she has focused on: proper nutrition, regular movement, and adequate rest, which together have contributed to her current feeling of well‑being after years of struggle.

I think the biggest thing for me in the beginning was my fatigue. I was at a point where I would have to get to a destination early so I could shut my eyes. As soon as I arrived, I was that tired. So that was one of my early triggers that prompted my initial visit with you. It's a journey. I think that recognizing the fact that it might take some time, you know, we're five years in, and for the first time in a long time, I feel pretty good. And so knowing that things have to be revisited, we have to make some adjustments and some tweaks, and allowing there to be grace when you have one step forward, two steps back kind of a thing. Well, I think the biggest game changer is managing my stress levels and keeping the anxiety and all the inside turmoil at bay and just being very comfortable with who I am. And that's been a big thing. But, of course, you know, the things that we talk about a lot are, you know, how we fuel our body and how we move our body and how we rest.
