Black Bodies Were Never Meant to Eat This Way: What Happens When Melanin Meets the Western Diet
🎙️ Episode 8 — Black Bodies Were Never Meant to Eat This Way: What Happens When Melanin Meets the Western Diet
Let’s talk Truth. For generations, our plates have been filled with foods that don’t honor who we are — foods that disconnect us from the land, from our rhythm, and from our healing. 🥀
In this episode of Plant Power Unleashed, we’re unpacking what truly happens when melanin meets the Western diet — when a body built for the tropics, for sunlight, for electric foods, is forced to survive on processed, acidic, lifeless meals.
You’ll discover:
1️⃣ Why melanin-rich bodies respond differently to the Standard American Diet (SAD).
2️⃣ How inflammation, disease, and mood imbalances trace back to what’s on our plate.
3️⃣ What it means to return to ancestral, alkaline living that nourishes both the body and the soul.
This isn’t just a food conversation — it’s a liberation conversation.
When we reclaim what was once ours — our herbs, our fruits, our balance — we remember that Healing is our Inheritance. ✊🏾
✨ Tune in to Plant Power Unleashed and let’s reclaim the way we Eat, Live, and Heal.
