Summary

Functional medicine doctor Taz Bhatia, M.D., says that stress overload manifests in different ways in her patients. For some, stress contributes to weight gain or weight loss resistance; for others, stress may be a factor in thyroid disorders, anxiety, PCOS, or gut issues. Here’s what Dr. Bhatia does not tell her patients: to slow down, to calm down, to give something up—things she has no interest in being told or doing herself. Instead, she has drawn from conventional medicine, Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, research, and her own health struggles to come up with a toolbox that women can use to optimize their health one simple, concrete step at a time.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Hi guys, I'm Guinith Peltro. Welcome to the Goop Podcast.

0:12.4

Every Thursday, Goop editors will be sitting down with provocative thinkers, industry disruptors

0:17.5

and culture changers. I'll take turns interviewing barrier-breaking guests as we talk about shifting

0:23.4

old paradigms and starting new conversations.

0:27.0

Today's guest, Dr. Taz Bautia, is a board-certified, integrative medicine physician, an acupuncturist,

0:35.1

and the founder of Center Spring MD, a functional medicine practice based in Atlanta. Her most recent

0:41.4

book, Super Woman RX, is exactly what the title suggests, an overview of the different

0:47.8

female power types that she's identified among her patients and how best to help each

0:52.4

group adapt to doing it all. I realize there were really five types. If you go back to my

0:57.4

original intention and hope for women is that if I could hand them a toolbox, hey, these

1:01.8

are the things you need to do. How do we individualize and customize that without every single

1:06.3

person going through a practice, which I know there are not that many practices like

1:10.4

ours? I wish I had had this information in my 20s. I wish somebody had told me these

1:15.4

things. That's how the types emerged.

1:17.9

Dr. Taz sat down with Elise Loonon, Goops Chief Content Officer, to talk about concrete

1:23.3

things that women can do to optimize their health. Particularly when slowing down is

1:28.6

an option, or at least not a desirable one.

1:31.3

You have anxiety, you're kind of out here somewhere, it's completely unrelated to the

1:34.9

gut issues you're having, and it's completely unrelated to this hormone issue you're having.

1:39.0

So you break the body up into all these different pieces, but when you're able to take all

1:42.3

of it and amass it and then sift through it, you really have a powerful tool, and you
