In this compelling episode, we dive into a powerful conversation with Dr. Jenn Caldwell, Assistant Professor at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center and Director of the Public Health Genomics and Health Equity Laboratory at LSU. Dr. Caldwell unpacks her groundbreaking research on health equity, genetic testing, and community-driven solutions to tackle chronic illnesses disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. From exploring the ancestral roots of African Americans through the Gullah Geechee community to the transformative "Lincoln Gains Project," Dr. Caldwell sheds light on the intersection of genetics, lifestyle, and public health.
We discuss the pressing challenges of systemic racism, the cultural significance of HBCUs, and practical tips for achieving healthier lifestyles despite socioeconomic barriers. Whether you’re curious about the role of epigenetics, the importance of representation in research, or actionable ways to improve wellness in underserved communities, this episode offers an engaging blend of science, culture, and storytelling.
This is a must-watch for socially conscious audiences, culturally engaged Millennials and Gen Xers, educators, and professionals who seek authentic narratives that inspire change. Join us for a thought-provoking journey into how genetics and culture shape our lives and communities.
