Our bodies are always communicating with us. But, do we listen? In this series, "Abnormalizing Illness", I discuss some common symptoms that we have (signals that we receive) but largely ignore, and call "normal". It is far from normal to feel bad or be ill all of the time. This episode will focus on the gastrointestinal tract, which plays a large role in our exposures and what nutrients are extracted from the foods we eat.

"When "I" is replaced with "we" even illness becomes wellness." - Malcolm X
Embarking on a journey to wellness is an absolutely necessary investment in yourself, your family, your purpose and your future. In this episode, I define wellness, illness and health and how they intersect. I also discuss the mindset we often have concerning wellness, or lack thereof, and how to adjust the way we view our most valuable asset. Let's stop expecting to be ill and instead embrace our best health, no matter where we are starting from.

https://pivotandbloom.buzzsprout.com38 min - The Syndemic: An Update
It has been about 10 months since the first reported case of COVID-19 hit the United States. In June of 2020, Pivot & Bloom was launched with the first episode "The Syndemic", discussing the intersection between COVID-19, racial health disparities/injustices, and chronic disease. This episode is a follow up on "The Syndemic", and a call to action. Chronic disease is only getting worse and in combination with COVID-19, is claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Within this statistic lies the sobering reality that Blacks are 2-3 times more likely to lose their lives. It is imperative that we start to think about the future and how we will all care for our bodies and minds going forward.

We are in unprecedented times, and are dealing with multiple anxiety-provoking situations at once. Anxiety is our reaction to stress, and boy are we stressed! When we are constantly in fight or flight mode, it wreaks havoc on our bodies and our minds. In this episode, I explain how anxiety presents itself and give an actionable acronym - REST - to help you build ways to manage your anxiety and stress.

https://pivotandbloom.buzzsprout.com33 min - Triumph Through Tumult with Andre Wallace
What do you do when your life and health change in an instant? In this highly-anticipated episode (part 2 of a 2-part series), my friend Andre Wallace shares his journey with kidney failure, and the many lessons he learned along the way. He walked diligently with God on some of his darkest days, while also actively transforming his health. The transparency and eloquence he lends to his journey will surely touch hearts and change lives.
African Americans constitute more than 35% of all patients in the U.S. receiving dialysis for kidney failure, but only represent 13.2% of the overall U.S. population. (www.kidney.org)Simply, there is not enough outrage over the danger posed to the health of Blacks, especially Black men, by chronic disease. While there are a multitude of complex factors at play, the fact remains that Black men are dying at an alarming rate from the complications of diabetes and high blood pressure.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), or kidney failure, is often the result of years of uncontrolled blood pressure and/or diabetes. (Though there are other causes, these are the most common, by far.) When it starts, much like high blood pressure, it is largely silent. Our bodies are very resilient and will maintain our kidney function, the filtration system for the blood, at all costs. Accordingly, many people with kidney disease do not have severe (or recognizable) symptoms until it is very advanced and they are in need of dialysis.
