Ep 5: From Black History to Heart Health: Why this month matters + the heart-saving habits we can't afford to ignore

Black History Month isn’t just a celebration - it’s a reminder to protect the people who carry the legacy. In Episode 5 of Life More Abundantly, Dr. Eboni Haynes kicks off the month with a quick, powerful history lesson on how Black History Month became a national observance - and why we should never take it for granted.Then, we shift into American Heart Month with a conversation that could save a life. Eboni is joined by Patrick Packer, CEO and founder of Davis Henry CBD Wellness and Health Store (Birmingham, AL), who shares his personal story of having a heart attack despite being active - and how his warning signs felt more like “acid reflux” than the dramatic chest pain people expect.Together, they break down what our community needs to know right now:The heart attack symptoms we’re most likely to brush off How stress, busyness, and generational trauma can quietly wear down our bodiesWhy knowing your family health history mattersSimple, realistic habits that support heart health (movement, food choices, portion shifts)The importance of CPR training and having AEDs in churches and community spacesPlus: the “Herbal Tea” segment, community calendar notes, and a reminder to wear red on Friday, February 6 for National Wear Red Day.Listen, share, and check on somebody you love - because Black history is American history, and protecting Black hearts is community care.Referenced in this show: Learn about our cultural (and healthier) food traditions at Oldwayspt.orgDonate to Beauty 2 The Streetz in honor of its founder, Shirley Raines: www.b2ts.orgTSA confirm ID website: www.tsa.gov/realIDNational Newspaper Publishers Association: www.nnpa.org Our Guest, Patrick Packer:https://www.instagram.com/patrickpackercbdhttps://www.facebook.com/patrick.packer.10/Datus Henry CBD Wellness & Health:https://datushenry.com/1525 4th Ave North, Birmingham, AL 35203
