Why Black Men Are Dying Too Soon – A Powerful Conversation About Health, Trauma, and Taking Control

In this eye-opening episode of The Good Living Now Podcast, host Harold Leffall sits down with certified holistic wellness coach Rashan Fuller to address a topic that’s often ignored but urgently needed: the health of Black men.

With statistics showing that Black men have the lowest life expectancy and face the highest rates of chronic illness, this isn’t just a health issue—it’s a crisis. Harold opens up about the loss of his grandfather and father, and together, they dig into the emotional and cultural roots of why so many Black men avoid doctors until it’s too late.

Rashan offers real solutions rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, discussing how to reverse poor health by embracing:

• 🌱 Nutrient-dense, whole-food eating
• 🧘🏾‍♂️ Daily breathwork and stress management
• 🏋🏾‍♂️ Regular movement and strength training
• 🌍 Grounding and reconnecting with the earth

They also touch on sensitive but critical topics like erectile dysfunction, trauma stored in the body, and why the medical system continues to fail communities of color.

One of the most powerful takeaways? The body is built to repair itself—but we must stop getting in the way of its natural ability to do so.

"Change is possible. But it requires you to make the lifestyle shifts that support your body’s ability to thrive."
