The Healthcare Gambit
By The Healthcare Gambit
The Healthcare Gambit was born out of the unmet need to accurately address women and healthcare. The two Co-Founders, Davé and Shah, realized this gap in the industry as they were searching for resources to kick start their careers. As a result, they wanted this podcast to be focused around the issues and experiences for women in healthcare, ranging from business to medicine to art and culture. Tune into episodes, learn about prevalent issues and topics going on with women in healthcare, and engage with the Healthcare Gambit team!

Evidence-Based Nutrition, Motherhood, and Medicine with Dr. Julie La Barba
Julie La Barba, MD, FAAP, Founding Medical Director of CHEF* (Culinary Health Education for Families) @ The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio, is now now Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine at The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio and The University of Texas Long School of Medicine.
Growing up in an Italian produce family taught Dr. La Barba the value of fresh food and the power of gathering families in the kitchen. This fostered her professional commitment to childhood nutrition and public health advocacy for the underserved. Julie attended Vanderbilt University (B.S. Human & Organizational Development, French minor) where she was awarded a fellowship to teach English as a Second Language to French school children. She earned her medical degree from UT Health in San Antonio and completed pediatric residency training in 2006 at University Hospital/The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio.
After practicing medicine in the Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, "Dr. Julie” transitioned to public health messaging as the lead health consultant for the H-E-B Body Adventure Exhibit at the Witte Museum**. Here she developed a palatable style of health writing aimed at meeting people where they are to spur behavioral change. She was honored as an Inaugural "Plate Changer” by Les Dames D’ Escoffier International in 2015 and received the 2016 Bexar County Medical Society’s Extraordinary Women in Medicine Leadership Award. As a professional volunteer, Dr. La Barba has contributed time to the Texas Biomedical Research Institute Forum Board, HEB Statewide Health and Wellness Committee, Texas Pediatric Society Obesity Committee and St. PJ’s Children’s Home Governing Board.
As a member of the CHEF team she empowered families to make delicious, satisfying meals with affordable ingredients that won’t break the bank or require gourmet cooking skills. When not busy fighting pediatric obesity, she breaks up fights in her own home while functioning as a short order cook for her four children. She can otherwise be found hiding out in her vegetable garden thanks to a very supportive husband.
Dr. Julie loves languages and speaks French and Spanish while currently learning her family’s native Italian. No matter which Romance language you say it in, dealing with chronic illness since 2017 and staying home with her family during the pandemic was not something she wanted to hear! After publishing her Prescriptions for Produce*** research, she realized in order to get better, she would need to step down from CHEF. She pivoted to writing a children’s book and currently taxiing the runway for her Paging Dr. Mom Podcast launch on 2/2/22 when she will help moms who also happen to be doctors deal with feeling on call 24/7 one actionable step at a time.
