What we call soul food today has deep cultural roots—but also painful origins. Born in the kitchens of enslaved Africans, “soul food” was survival food. Passed down through generations and mixed with modern processed foods, it has contributed to devastating health disparities in Black communities: obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.
But there’s a better way. The Bible reveals the real soul food—the healing, life-giving foods God created for us: fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. This episode uncovers:
✅ The history of soul food and its connection to slavery
✅ Why our traditions have led to chronic illness
✅ The difference between “slave food” and God’s food
✅ How we can transform our meals without losing cultur

We live in an era where public announcements often camouflage the real motives behind corporate behavior. Former President Donald Trump’s recent claim that he convinced Coca-Cola to switch from high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) to cane sugar made headlines and stirred public interest. But this isn’t just symbolism—it’s a trade-off. Coca-Cola and similar companies aren’t suddenly health-conscious; they’re adjusting their strategy in response to the growing political and regulatory pressure brought on by Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Join Damon K Jones on this week's Wellness Wednesdays as he uncovers the powerful role magnesium plays in addressing health disparities in Black communities. Magnesium impacts over 300 processes in your body, yet it's chronically overlooked in conversations about Black health and wellness.
In this episode, Damon explores how this essential mineral can help combat hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease—conditions that disproportionately affect Black individuals. Discover how magnesium supports mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, boosts energy levels, and aids hormonal balance, especially for Black women experiencing fibroids and menstrual health challenges.

Learn practical strategies for increasing your magnesium intake through traditional African diaspora foods, stress management techniques, and appropriate supplementation. Damon also addresses the systemic barriers that contribute to magnesium deficiency in Black communities and offers solutions for collective advocacy.

With cries from the left proclaiming the end of democracy and accusations of racism, many Democrats have been consumed by stress and fear over the prospect of another four years of a Trump presidency. For years, mainstream media platforms amplified this sentiment, fueling apprehension and a sense of impending doom. Now, with Trump not only securing the presidency once again but also winning the popular vote, this cycle of alarm has reached a fever pitch, creating a climate of panic and unrest.

As a health and wellness practitioner and author of numerous books on health, wellness, and mental clarity, I am acutely aware—as are others in the holistic health field—that the United States government has long played a role in the declining health of Black communities. Decades of policy failures, environmental neglect, and medical injustices have compounded into a crisis of chronic illness and stark health disparities. Today, Black Americans are disproportionately affected by conditions like asthma, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, often exacerbated by environmental pollutants, lack of access to nutritious food, and a deeply entrenched mistrust in the healthcare system
