Calling Out Unhealthy Behavior: A Path to Healing



Healing begins with honesty, and sometimes the most honest thing we can do is call out the unhealthy behaviors—whether they are in ourselves, others, or the systems we operate in. True healing requires us to face what isn’t working, and that often means naming and addressing the behaviors that are holding us back from growth and wellness. 🌿



Here’s why calling out unhealthy behavior is so powerful:



• It creates awareness: You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. When you call out behaviors—whether it’s in yourself or others—you’re bringing the issue to light, which is the first step toward healing.

• It sets boundaries: Addressing unhealthy behavior helps you set clear boundaries for what you will and won’t accept. This is essential for protecting your peace, mental health, and overall well-being.

• It’s an act of self-love and accountability: Holding yourself or others accountable for unhealthy behavior isn’t about blame or shame—it’s about fostering growth and encouraging healthier patterns that lead to long-term healing.

• It opens the door to transformation: Once unhealthy behaviors are called out, you have the opportunity to replace them with healthier habits, thoughts, and actions. This is where healing begins—by choosing to move forward in a new, more positive direction.



Calling out unhealthy behavior isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. Whether it’s letting go of toxic relationships, addressing harmful patterns in your own life, or speaking up about systems that need change, honesty is the gateway to healing.



Healing requires courage, and that courage begins with calling out what no longer serves you. Let’s take the brave step toward a healthier, more empowered version of ourselves—one where unhealthy behaviors are acknowledged, addressed, and replaced with the energy of growth and transformation. 💪🏽

🌿 The Root Cause of Disease: Beyond the Physical 🌿



Health isn’t just about the body—it’s about the mind, emotions, and spirit too. Often, the root cause of disease goes beyond the physical symptoms we see. Stress, unresolved trauma, negative emotions, and even our environment can deeply impact our health. 💭💔



Holistic health seeks to understand and address these underlying causes, not just treat the symptoms. By looking at the whole person, we can begin to heal on all levels—physically, mentally, and emotionally.



True wellness comes when we acknowledge the interconnectedness of our thoughts, feelings, and physical health. Let’s start digging deeper to heal from within. 🌱💚

The Hidden Struggle with Medical Trauma



Medical trauma is a deeply personal, often hidden experience that many patients face after receiving care that was harmful or distressing. Whether it stems from medical errors, invasive procedures, miscommunication, or neglect, the effects can be lasting—leading to anxiety, mistrust, and fear of future healthcare. For many, navigating medical trauma means battling both physical and emotional scars, which can lead to avoidance of necessary treatments and prolonged suffering. Healing from this trauma requires a compassionate, patient-centered approach that acknowledges past harm and rebuilds trust.

🌍 The Harm of Ignoring Diversity in Healthcare: Genetic and Cultural Differences Matter 🌍



When healthcare overlooks diversity, it isn’t just unfair—it’s dangerous. One-size-fits-all approaches ignore the genetic, cultural, and environmental differences that directly impact how we experience health and respond to treatments. 🧬💊



Genetic variations affect everything from how we metabolize medication to our susceptibility to certain diseases. Ignoring these differences can lead to ineffective treatments, misdiagnoses, or worse—unnecessary harm. 🌱



Culturally, healthcare systems often fail to consider traditional healing practices, dietary needs, and the specific health challenges faced by different communities. This disconnect leads to a lack of trust, poor engagement, and ultimately, worse health outcomes for marginalized groups. Communities of color, in particular, continue to face higher rates of preventable diseases and lower-quality care due to these blind spots. 🤲🏽💔



Diversity isn’t just a checkbox—it’s critical to effective, compassionate healthcare. By embracing the full spectrum of human experience, we can deliver care that respects every individual’s unique biology, background, and health needs. The future of health depends on it.



Let’s build a system that sees, hears, and heals everyone. 🧡

Addressing the deep-seated issue of societal stereotypes and biases, especially those affecting Black women, is crucial. In many traditional settings, the voices of Black women have often been marginalized, but in the realm of holistic living and natural health solutions, there is an empowering shift towards inclusion and respect. This realm emphasizes the inherent value, wisdom, and strength that every individual brings to the table, irrespective of gender or race.

For families seeking natural health solutions and holistic living, embracing diversity and inclusivity can enhance their journey. It’s essential to recognize and challenge any inherent biases that might cause someone to undervalue another's expertise or voice. In holistic healthcare, personalized solutions often require tapping into the rich tapestry of experiences and knowledge from people of all backgrounds, which includes honoring and respecting the insights of Black women who are trained professionals in the field.

Creating an environment of mutual respect and understanding involves active listening, acknowledging boundaries, and valuing the lived experiences of each individual. This can significantly enrich one's journey towards health and well-being. Families committed to holistic living have the opportunity to model these values by ensuring that their interactions are respectful and inclusive, thereby setting an example for younger generations.

In this path, if confronted with behavior that feels dismissive or condescending, it is important to assert boundaries firmly and calmly. It may also help to engage in constructive dialogue, emphasizing the need for mutual respect and understanding. Consulting with and learning from qualified professionals, particularly those who have historically been underrepresented, can offer fresh perspectives and deeper insights into holistic health practices.

By fostering a community that celebrates inclusivity, we not only uplift marginalized voices but also enrich our own understanding of holistic and natural health care practices, paving the way for more personalized and effective solutions.

🩺 Medical Doctors Study Disease. Holistic Doctors Study Health. 🌿



There’s a key difference in approach between medical doctors and holistic doctors:



• Medical doctors are trained to diagnose and treat disease, focusing on managing symptoms and finding medical solutions once something goes wrong. They are experts in disease care. 🏥

• Holistic doctors, on the other hand, study health—how to nurture it, how to prevent disease, and how to balance the body, mind, and spirit for long-term wellness. We focus on the root cause of illness and empower patients to take charge of their health before problems arise. 🌱



Both paths have their value, but when it comes to true wellness, the holistic approach seeks to keep you thriving, not just surviving. It’s about building health, not just battling disease.

The Disrespect of Black Holistic Doctors: Protecting Afroindigenous Practices and Demanding Change

As a Black holistic doctor who works to protect and honor Afroindigenous practices and natural healthcare, I face a unique intersection of racism, disrespect, and systemic bias. Not only am I questioned because of the color of my skin, but also because I choose to practice medicine that is rooted in ancestral knowledge and natural healing. This combination creates a double layer of disrespect—one rooted in race and the other in my holistic approach to healthcare.

Here’s the reality we face:

• Black holistic doctors are often marginalized and disrespected, not just for our race, but for choosing to practice natural medicine that has been passed down through generations in Afroindigenous communities.

• Our credentials and expertise are questioned because our approach goes beyond conventional medicine. Yet, these practices have healed our communities for centuries, long before modern healthcare systems existed.

• Afroindigenous knowledge and natural healing are seen as “alternative” or “lesser,” despite their profound history and effectiveness. This is part of the larger systemic racism embedded within the healthcare industry, which disregards the value of our ancestral traditions.



We cannot continue to let this happen:

• Holistic medicine and Afroindigenous practices deserve respect. They are not a “lesser” form of care, and the doctors who practice them, especially Black doctors, should be treated with the same respect as any other medical professional.

• We need to dismantle the biases that exist against holistic doctors who prioritize natural, culturally rooted methods of healing.

• The future of healthcare must include diverse approaches, including those rooted in ancestral wisdom, and doctors who protect these practices should be uplifted, not disrespected.


This intersection of being a Black holistic doctor working to protect Afroindigenous practices is a space of great responsibility. We not only care for the health of our patients but also carry the legacy of our ancestors. The disrespect must stop. It’s time to honor both the doctors and the traditions that continue to serve our communities.

Healthcare needs to change—not just for Black doctors, but for all who practice medicine rooted in cultural wisdom and natural healing. Respect is not a privilege; it is a right.

Today, I embrace a new path for myself, one that prioritizes my well-being and authenticity. 🌿 I am choosing to step away from environments and people who do not respect, value, or see the true me. I encourage you to do the same, especially as we journey together in seeking holistic and natural health solutions for ourselves and our families. 🏡✨

In these spaces, we should surround ourselves with supportive and like-minded individuals who uplift us and share our vision of personalized and holistic living. By making this shift, we not only honor ourselves, but also create a healthier and more nurturing environment for our loved ones. 🤗💚

As we explore natural health solutions and holistic lifestyles, let's remember that our surroundings and connections play a crucial role in our overall well-being. Choose to be in spaces that celebrate and foster growth, understanding, and true connection. 🌟 Trust in the power of making choices that align with your values and who you truly are. Let's walk this journey together, with respect and intention guiding our way. ✨🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️
