Dr. Greg Hall discussed micronutrients which a recent study showed the Blacks have the highest deficiencies overall.  Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals that our bodies require in small amounts to function optimally. They play crucial roles in energy production, immune system support, bone health, and the regulation of numerous physiological processes, including blood pressure and blood sugar control.

Better Black Health with Dr. Greg Hall welcomes back Constance B. Hilliard, PhD.  She is best known for her groundbreaking research in this area, which combines environmental health and genomics. After earning a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from Harvard University, she started her academic journey as an African historian, analyzing ancient handwritten manuscripts from Timbuktu and other regions in Africa. She soon recognized that this detailed understanding of the ecological niche in which the ancestors of Black Americans were genetically adapted provided valuable insights into their vulnerability to diseases such as hypertension, kidney failure, certain cancers, and childbirth mortality.    The medical community’s lack of clarity about the genetic inheritances of non-Europeans and the Human Genome Project’s flawed one-size-fits-all approach have effectively excluded Blacks and other minorities from this century’s precision medicine revolution.
