Ep. 169 🌿 Can Your Health Use a Natural Boost? 🌿This week on Fearless Fridays with Maryann, we learn from Dr. Andrea Sullivan, a trailblazing naturopathic physician with over 38 years of experience. Together, we'll explore how naturopathic medicine treats the person, not just the diagnosis, empowering us to reclaim our health through holistic methods. 💪🏾✨

The conversation delves into the systemic challenges faced by communities of color, particularly in relation to health disparities linked to historical and socio-economic factors. Dr. Sullivan emphasizes that choices in lifestyle profoundly impact overall health and calls attention to the healing traditions rooted in African American history. Highlighting the power of self-care, nutrition, and spirituality, the episode also uncovers the stereotypes and microaggressions that persist today, encouraging listeners to prioritize self-love and make deliberate lifestyle choices for better health outcomes.

From overcoming health disparities to making small lifestyle changes with big impact, Dr. Sullivan shows us how self-love, nutrition, and spirituality can unlock our body’s healing potential. 💚
