Her inspiration for creating this platform came from her resilient and knowledgeable patients who, through their courage and perseverance, demonstrated the transformative power of lifestyle modifications during challenging times. These individuals have imparted invaluable lessons, such as the preference for acupuncture over opioids and the choice of celery smoothies over indulgent desserts, which have broadened her perspective on holistic medicine. 

Driven by their experiences, Dr. Berman now personally reaps the benefits of this holistic approach. Within her blog, tarabmd.com, she generously shares her expanding expertise in integrative medicine, a field that unifies the treatment of the body, mind, and spirit as a single entity.

Gynecologic oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on cancers of the female reproductive system, including ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, vaginal cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer. As specialists, gynecologic oncologists have extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of these cancers.
