Black Americans face a disproportionate risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. This affects the quality of our lives and longevity. The medical community has been reluctant to dig deep to find the causes of this health crisis. But the Espresso Talk Today team is finding answers. Today we are joined by renowned epidemiologist Dr. Sherman James who has developed the John Henryism hypothesis. This hypothesis focuses on the stress effect of structural racism and its impact on Black health. Join us for this uncommon and health-saving conversation.
