Judah Recovery Update

Hypertension Update!!!

The Podcast "MomLife," hosted by Rasheeda, addresses the health disparities faced by Black women following multiple pregnancies, focusing on hormonal gland malfunctions and complications arising from the healthcare system. Rasheeda highlights that over 58% of Black women in the U.S. suffer from high blood pressure, a risk that often increases with more than three pregnancies or a history of preeclampsia. She draws attention to a lesser-known cause of hypertension, primary aldosteronism, which is not always related to unhealthy lifestyle choices or genetics but a hormonal gland defect. The impact of untreated hypertension like increased risk for stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure, combined with higher food insecurity among Black and Hispanic women, exacerbates the health crisis. Rasheeda encourages mothers, particularly Black women, to trust their instincts concerning their health and continue seeking answers. She advocates for a broader conversation on these health disparities and a push for improved healthcare and societal structures.
