It’s All Connected: Breaking Down Cardiometabolic Health

It’s time we stop playing "Whack-A-Mole" with our health. In this special African American Diabetes Podcast, I’m breaking down the clunky medical term Cardiometabolic Health in a way that actually makes sense for us. We’ve been taught that "the sugar," "the pressure," and the heart are separate problems. They aren't. They are cousins living in the same house. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by your numbers, this episode is your "Under the Hood" guide to how your body really works. We talk about everything from ancestral superfoods to the physical impact of stress (Weathering) and how to build a "Generational Health Trust" for our children. Our health is our greatest act of liberation. Don't just survive, thrive!
