Summary

Candace welcomes triple‑board‑certified physician Dr. Tabatha Barber to connect faith, medicine, and women’s health. They unpack why your period is a vital sign, what hormonal birth control does (and doesn’t) do, how gut health drives gyn health, and a clear, grace‑filled explanation of the cycle phases—estrogen, progesterone, ovulation, and more. Candace shares vulnerably about navigating depression in her early 20s while on the pill, and Dr. Tabatha offers informed‑consent insights plus practical starting points (from cleaner food choices to simple swaps) so you can build sustainable habits. They close with listener questions on staying consistent with nutrition, postpartum body confidence, and real‑world gear (yes, sports bras). It’s a hopeful, practical conversation for every stage—teens to perimenopause. ·  Download the free **Whole Body Guide** to follow this season’s journey — available at Candace.com (also linked in the show notes). ·  Grab **tour tickets (Nov 20–23)** at Candace.com/tour — games, Q&A, Full House trivia, and women’s wellness real talk. ·  Check out **NuEthix** (code **CANDACE**) and other partners mentioned in this episode — links in the show notes.
