In this eye-opening episode, we explore how the modern diet is influencing our health, from obesity and diabetes to heart disease and cancer, and why it’s crucial to understand what we’re putting into our bodies. We discuss the harmful ingredients added to our food for profit and how these substances can wreak havoc on our health. Special attention is given to how these issues disproportionately affect Black and Brown communities, where systemic inequities and limited access to nutritious options exacerbate health disparities. We’ll dive into the cultural significance of food in Caribbean communities and why empowering these communities to make more conscious dietary choices is essential for preserving health and traditions.

You’ll learn the importance of self-care at the cellular level and the need for conscious consumption, understanding that it’s not just about eating, but about feeding your cells with the proper nutrients. Tune in to uncover the food industry’s influence, its impact on our communities, and how you can take charge of your health through mindful and culturally informed dietary choices.
