This is the last week of BHM and so I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight and celebrate powerful black voices that have been on the podcast. In this special compilation episode you’ll hear from Leticia Ama Deawuo, Dr Ian Smith, Chrissy King, Danny Stone, Kym Niles, and myself. Some of the topics we discuss are racism in the food industry, racism in the wellness industry, the importance of mental health in the Black community and how COVID is affecting more Blacks than any other group.   [5:40] Chrissy King – why it’s important for people of colour to see themselves represented in fitness spaces and the impact of racism on health. [6:44] Dr. Ian Smith – why intermittent fasting works and the benefits it has on your body [9:44] Martine Lopez – the root of mental health stigma among black people and why the black community needs more mental health resources and the importance of the language we use [14:01] Danny Stone – one of the major stresses in people’s lives that he sees as a coach and how to monetize your passion [17:40] Kym Niles – the barriers that Black women face when working out [22:15] Leticia Ama Deawuo – food deserts and how where you live, and the type of income you have has a direct impact on your health and your overall well-being [26:15] Trudy Stone (me) – a key vitamin most Black people are deficient in and some things that you may want to consider that may help to protect you against viruses and support your immune system
