No. 1 Menopause Doctor: HRT Won't End Your Menopause Suffering — Do This Instead
Why do you still feel off even when your hormone levels look normal?
Dr. Tabatha Barber, a triple-board-certified OB-GYN turned functional medicine practitioner, shares why menopause and hormone symptoms may involve more than hormone levels alone. From brain fog, fatigue, and weight gain to low libido and thinning hair, she explores how gut health, chronic stress, nutrient absorption, and daily habits may affect how women feel.
Discover a root-cause perspective on perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy, fasting, and sustainable energy, plus why symptom management may not tell the whole story.
