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!

Truth, Trials, and Transformation - Reclaiming our seat at the table of discovery to secure a healthier future for the next generation.

In this powerful episode, Leon Rock dives deep into the historical reasons behind medical mistrust in the Black community. He explores how the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) framework is being used to dismantle barriers to clinical trial participation and discusses the federal mandates designed to ensure Black Americans are no longer invisible in the search for a diabetes cure.
