Dr. Tabatha Barber returns to StRest to explain how fasting, hormones, cortisol, testosterone, mindset, and faith work together to help women heal.
Description
This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Tabatha Barber — triple board certified physician, OBGYN, certified menopause medicine and functional medicine expert, author of Fast to Faith, and founder of a faith-centered medical practice — for a powerful conversation about fasting, hormones, cortisol, testosterone, nervous system regulation, and why true healing has to include both health science and biblical truth.
Dr. Tabatha shares why she believes women have to heal as whole beings: body, mind, and spirit. She explains how thoughts, shame, stress, fear, trauma, and false identity can affect hormones, weight, sleep, blood sugar, and inflammation — and why fasting without faith can become just another failed diet.
Then the conversation turns practical: intermittent fasting, Fast to Faith, GLP-1s, hormone replacement therapy, testosterone for women, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, adrenal health, nervous system regulation, prayer, scripture meditation, and the daily practice of renewing your mind with God.
