Summary

 Six members of my family died from preventable chronic disease. That's not a statistic. That's my mother, my father, my siblings. It's what happens when the systems meant to support our health fail us — and when no one ever taught us how to take control. Healthy & Black exists because that story is too common, and it doesn't have to be. Hosted by Dr. Jarik Conrad — author, nutritionist, executive coach, and founder of Qonscious Health — this podcast is for Black Americans who are done surviving and ready to thrive. Each episode explores the science, psychology, and practical strategies behind whole-person health. No miracle cures. No magic potions. Just evidence-based insights and honest conversations about what it really takes to feel better, think better, and perform better — in your body, your relationships, and your career.Copyright 2026 Healthy and Black Exercise & Fitness Fitness, Diet & Nutrition Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • The Last Human Advantage

    The Last Human Advantage
    May 13 2026
    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. Subscribe for more conversations on leadership, well-being, and what it means to be fully human in the age of AI.

  • The Bitter Truth About Sugar

    The Bitter Truth About Sugar
    Mar 25 2026
    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.
