Reimagining Black Health

Physical health isn’t just about working out or eating clean—it’s about alignment.In this episode of Reimagining Black Health, Dr. Melicia Witt-Glover sits down with Christopher Williams and Dr. Maurice Hinson to unpack what physical wellbeing really means—and why so many of us are missing the bigger picture.Christopher shares his powerful story of surviving four heart attacks and cancer, despite living what looked like a “healthy” lifestyle. Dr. Hinson breaks down why traditional healthcare often treats symptoms instead of root causes—and how chronic stress, inflammation, and disconnection from our bodies are silently driving disease.Together, they challenge the idea that fatigue, stress, and burnout are “normal”—and offer a new, more holistic framework for understanding health that includes mind, body, and spirit.This conversation is a wake-up call—and a roadmap.Chapters00:00 – Introduction02:00 – What Is Holistic Health?04:30 – Christopher’s Health Journey09:30 – Chronic Inflammation Explained14:30 – Health Screenings & Advocacy22:30 – Stress & Barriers to Wellness30:00 – Lifestyle Changes That Matter37:30 – Rethinking Healthcare45:00 – Actionable Takeaways51:00 – Closing ThoughtsIf this episode resonated with you, take a moment to reflect: What’s one small, sustainable step you can take this week to support your health—or lighten the load you’re carrying?Learn more about the Council on Black Health and their work to advance health equity at: https://councilbh.org/Follow the show, share this episode, and join us as we continue reimagining what it means to truly be well.
