Chile, this week we are talking about slave food and how racism affects longevity. Tune in to this episode to discover the types of stressors we commonly face, what happens to the body in a stressed state, and the results of chronic stress.

In this show I will go into racism and health, how the two intertwine and affect African Americans in particular, and the toll of stress. Later, I will speak to Dr. Columbus Batiste, a cardiologist also known as the Heart Healthy Doc., to gain more insight. -Xo Raw Girl
