In this powerful and deeply faith-filled episode of The Flourishing Life Podcast, Jackie sits down with women’s health expert and functional medicine physician Dr. Tabatha Barber — known online as @gutsydoctabatha — for a conversation that will encourage, challenge, and inspire you.
Dr. Tabatha vulnerably shares her incredible story of going from a teenage pregnancy and traumatic birth experience to becoming a successful OB/GYN surgeon… only to find herself completely burnt out, unhealthy, exhausted, and disconnected from the life God was calling her to live. After a life-changing health crisis and spiritual awakening, she shifted from conventional medicine into root-cause healing, functional medicine, and faith-centered wellness.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The hidden root causes behind hormone imbalance, fatigue, inflammation, and chronic illness
- Why gut health and nervous system regulation are foundational to healing
- The connection between stress, adrenal dysfunction, and symptomatic perimenopause/menopause
- The importance of mindset renewal and healing emotionally & spiritually — not just physically
- Why women are more overwhelmed and hormonally depleted than ever before
- The danger of “infobesity” in the wellness world
- How faith, surrender, and purpose transformed both of their healing journeys
- The beauty of women supporting women in health and healing
Dr. Tabatha also shares exciting details about her upcoming fall tour with Candace Cameron Bure and how God opened doors in ways she never expected.
This episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, practical health insight, and reminders that true healing involves mind, body, and spirit. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, stuck, inflamed, anxious, disconnected, or simply “not like yourself,” this conversation is for you.
