The Truth About Weed & Motivation

Episode 04
Black Men & Doctors — Why?
“They don’t listen anyway. I only go if something’s wrong.”

✂ Barbershop

Episode 05
High Blood Pressure Isn’t Just Stress
“If I just calm down, my pressure will come down.”

Black Americans develop hypertension younger and at higher rates than any other group. The biology is specific. Stress is only part of the story.

Episode 07
Fibroids Aren’t “Just Bad Periods”

🍽 Kitchen Table

Episode 08
Kidney Disease Doesn’t “Just Happen”
