Episode 62: Dr. Tabatha Barber
Dr. Tabatha Barber of PrivaMD sits down and shares her personal journey of health, and the way that functional medicine changed her life. She shares the way that our daily habits and our mental health are affecting our physical health and the simple changes we can make to begin to heal.
She shares the way that her life story influenced her journey into medicine, why chronic illness is on the rise, and why we should allow our kids to play in the dirt. Plus, she reminds us of the importance of slowing down, and why we need to embrace our worth as children of God.

What She Said:
18:36 "Once patients understand it [functional medicine], it's so rewarding. This is real healing."
22:40 "I think so many women need to hear that change is OK. You gave everything you had, and it was good, but change is OK."
23:22 "Your emotional and spiritual health are just as important as your physical health."
31:10 "We have all of these bacteria in our body that keep us healthy and protect us, but we have wiped them out. We have sanitized our lives to the point that we have killed all of the good bacteria that were protecting us. We've over-sterilized our lives."
35:08 "Just because we are always busy from dusk 'til dawn, doesn't mean it's normal or OK. We've created this crazy society where we need to be go-go-go, but that is not how our bodies were created to function."
36:26 "Quit drinking so much alcohol. We drink alcohol like it's just a regular drink, and it's affecting our health."
38:48 "We slip into these bad habits, but because everybody is doing it, we don't realize the damage that it's causing."
47:52 "What do you have to lose? You're already in pain, you're already miserable, you're already overweight, you're already not sleeping...so that's either going to continue or you're actually going to feel differently."
