#258. How to Heal Leaky Gut & Hashimoto’s Naturally (My Functional Medicine Story)
In this candid episode, Dr. Tabatha opens up about her health journey—how ignoring her gut instincts and the warning signs of stress and poor diet led to a lifetime of autoimmune struggles. From teenage rebellion and traumatic pregnancy experiences to chronic back pain and thyroid disease, she shares how conventional medicine kept her stuck while her faith and functional medicine showed her a better way.
Dr. Tabatha dives into the vital role of gut health, intuition, and hormone balance in healing chronic issues that doctors often overlook. She also reveals how stepping into her faith and truly listening to her body helped her overcome depression, Hashimoto’s disease, and a broken healthcare system. If you’ve been told your symptoms are just part of life, this episode will help you see there’s hope for real healing.
