Fast to Faith: Healing God's Way

Are you a perfectionist, a dabbler, or a denier? Dr. Tabatha and Ashlee sit down with FTF coach Marilyn, who traded perfection for obedience and found more peace in her mid-50s than ever before. A real talk on surrender, identity in Christ, and why God is calling you now, not once you feel ready.
Perfectionist. Dabbler. Denier. Dr. Tabatha names the three ways women avoid the truth about their health - and their faith. Then she and Ashlee sit down with Fast to Faith coach Marilyn Bright, a recently retired New Jersey school administrator turned faith-based health coach, who spent decades doing faith "in isolation" - a checklist of prayer and exercise she performed and then shelved before the stress of the day undid it.
Marilyn shares what changed when she stopped trying to earn her way to perfect before letting God in, and started bringing Him all of her instead - her work, her marriage, her body, her mess. She walks through her path from the $5 Challenge to the 40-Day Program to the Coaching Academy, why the weekly Monday calls became "sacred" to her, and how surrender in obedience means moving before she feels ready, not after.
In Marilyn's own words: "I came to Fast to Faith to lose weight; but what I found was and continues to be a transformation - learning to love my whole self instead of trying to punish my body into weight loss."

Fast to Faith is hosted by Dr. Tabatha Barber — OB/GYN, functional medicine physician, and founder of the Fast to Faith Sisterhood and Coaching Academy.

Dr. Tabatha and Ashlee pull back the curtain on their coaching calls, rapid-firing real questions from Fast to Faith coaches: childhood wounds behind emotional eating, the truth about protein and hair loss, the vagus nerve and cortisol, and how to spot when you are underfueled. Plus one simple prayer practice for a better night's sleep, starting tonight. 
In This Episode: 
●       A coaching academy rapid-fire: real questions Fast to Faith coaches are hearing on their weekly calls, answered live.
●       How childhood wounds and attachment injuries show up as emotional eating, FOMO around food, and old hurt surfacing mid-program.
●       Why your subconscious actually lives in your heart, not just your brain, and how to ask God to rewrite the programming running your food choices.
●       The right way to journal versus venting into a diary, and why gratitude shifts what your brain starts looking for.
●       What protein actually does for weight loss, and why 150 grams a day does nothing if you are sedentary.
●       The truth about protein and hair loss (hint: it is probably not your protein intake).
●       One thing to do tonight for better sleep: handing your worry list to God before your head hits the pillow.
●       Mid-roll: Mag Lift — magnesium support for sleep, blood sugar, and mood.
●       Red flags for underfueling: poor workout recovery, the 2 to 3pm crash, falling asleep on the couch after dinner.
Closing scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6

You feel closer to God than you've ever been. Your faith is sturdy. And your body is falling apart anyway.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing. Your body keeps the score.
Dr. Tabatha and Ashlee sit down with Lindsey Welch - wife of entrepreneur and podcast host Taylor Welch, mother, business owner, woman of deep faith - for a conversation about immovable faith. Not faith that never feels fear. Faith that gets tested and keeps choosing God anyway.
Lindsey held her family together while her husband's business faced public scrutiny and an FTC investigation. She prayed. She worked. She stayed calm on the outside.
Then a biofeedback test came back with nine autoimmune markers. Her estrogen and progesterone - the hormones that regulate mood, energy, and her cycle - were gone. Her serotonin, the brain chemical that stabilizes mood, was burned through completely.
In the middle of it, she heard God speak. Clearly. "Remember when you built this house? I had you write scripture on the walls. If you keep going, your daughter is watching, and she is going to fall the way you learned it in your family line. You need to break this cycle."
She broke it. It took eight months.
This episode is for the woman in the car who can't make herself go inside yet. For the one holding her family together and wondering who's holding her. For anyone who has believed God is good and still felt afraid.
Closing scripture: 1 John 4:18 - "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear."

300 episodes ago, Dr. Tabatha started with one idea: your body is not broken. Today she and Ashlee open up about six years of change, the problem with the word "awakening," and the Awaken, Restore, Rise framework carrying Fast to Faith forward. You are not broken. You can heal. You're in the right place.
In this Episode:  
●        300 episodes in, Dr. Tabatha and Ashlee pull back the curtain on the story underneath every conversation: you are not broken, and you can heal. 
●        Six years of evolution — from The Functional Gynecologist to The Gutsy Gynecologist to Fast to Faith — and what changed when they stopped working for God and started working with Him. 
●        The real story behind the first 50 episodes: Garage Band, hours of editing out nervous "ums," and showing up scared anyway. 
●        Dr. Tabatha is joining Candace Cameron Bure on an 8-city tour — the next chapter of using her voice. 
●        The problem with the word "awakening" — why the aha moment isn't the finish line, and what happens when the momentum runs out. 
●        Unpacking the three-act story of Fast to Faith: Awaken, Restore, Rise — and why you don't move through all three at once. 
●        What "Rise" actually looks like, and why the Coaching Academy isn't just for women building a business. 
●        Why you'll never feel ready, and why that's not the sign to wait. 
●        Closing scripture: Joel 2:25.
