Healthy and Black

What separates humans from machines in an AI-powered world? In this episode, I unpack The Last Human Advantage — a framework for thriving in an era when artificial intelligence can outperform us at nearly every task that once defined human work. We're fighting two battles right now. The external one: human vs. AI. The internal one: our mature self vs. our immature self. And the internal battle is the one that decides whether we win the external one. If you've felt the ground shifting under you at work, in your relationships, or in how you show up in the world, this one's for you.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Jarik Conrad sits down with retired ophthalmologist and living legend in medicine, Dr. Gordon Montgomery, to break down what most people don't know — and can't afford to ignore — about sugar. From the science of glycation and insulin resistance to the gut bacteria that hijack your brain's cravings, Dr. Montgomery explains exactly how chronic sugar consumption silently damages nearly every organ in your body, including your eyes, brain, liver, heart, kidneys, and skin. The two also explore why sugar is more addictive than most people realize, how the food industry is designed to keep you hooked, and why Black Americans face disproportionate risks from conditions like diabetes and kidney disease. But this episode isn't just a warning — it's a roadmap. Dr. Conrad and Dr. Montgomery discuss practical, realistic steps anyone can take to begin reversing the damage and reclaiming their health — at any age. Dr. Montgomery also shares insights from his book, Increasing Healthspan: Midlife Choices for Senior Health. If you eat food, this conversation is for you.
