Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Tamara R. Jackson. Founder of Hopeful Therapy and Consulting, she provides holistic mental health care with an emphasis on trauma-informed support for individuals living with autoimmune diseases. 🔑 Key Themes & Highlights Understanding Autoimmune Diseases Autoimmune diseases occur when the body mistakenly attacks healthy cells. Common examples include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Crohn’s disease. Over 80 types of autoimmune diseases exist, yet public awareness remains low. Tamara’s Personal Journey She has worked in mental health for over two decades. During the Covid lockdown, she experienced worsening symptoms, eventually leading to her rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. With limited resources available during the pandemic, she relied on her professional expertise and personal resilience to navigate her new reality. Symptoms & Daily Impact Inflammation & Mobility Issues – Tamara experienced extreme stiffness, particularly in her hands, making basic tasks difficult. Chronic Fatigue – Unlike normal tiredness, this type of exhaustion can cause sudden body shutdowns, resembling narcolepsy. Mental Health & Autoimmune Disease Growing Awareness in Black Communities – The last five years have seen significant improvements in mental health advocacy, especially post-Covid. Cultural Stigma – While progress has been made, stigma around seeking help still exists in communities of color. Safe Spaces Matter – Tamara emphasizes the importance of therapy and open dialogue for individuals managing chronic illnesses. Diet & Lifestyle Adjustments The anti-inflammatory diet plays a critical role in managing symptoms. Avoiding processed foods, excessive sugar, and farm-raised meats can reduce inflammation. Each person’s dietary needs differ based on their autoimmune condition. The Invitation Documentary Tamara directed an award-winning documentary, The Invitation, which educates the public about autoimmune diseases. Available for rent on Vimeo, the film includes testimonials, expert insights, and screenings with interactive discussions. 📘 Resources & Contact InformationTamara’s work is accessible through:🔗 Instagram: @TheInvitationDocumentary🔗 Website: https://www.hopefulltherapyandconsulting.com/ #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Shiloh Bigles. A certified functional nutrition counselor and founder of Level Minds CBD Health Club in Suwanee, Georgia. Here’s a breakdown of the key themes and takeaways: 🌿 Episode Overview Guest: Shiloh Bigles, founder of Level Minds CBD and a certified functional nutrition counselor. Focus: Educating the public on the benefits of CBD, breaking stereotypes, and promoting holistic wellness through functional nutrition and plant-based healing. 💡 Key Insights 1. What Is CBD and Why It Matters CBD (cannabidiol) interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate immune and neurological functions. It promotes homeostasis, which supports better sleep, reduced pain, and improved overall well-being. 2. Top Reasons People Use CBD Sleep issues and pain management are the two most common reasons customers seek CBD. CBD can be used topically (e.g., balms) or internally (e.g., gummies, oils, chocolates) depending on the condition. 3. Functional Nutrition Meets CBD Shiloh combines her background in functional nutrition with CBD to help people manage autoimmune conditions like lupus and Crohn’s disease—both of which she personally manages without pharmaceuticals. 4. Breaking the Stigma Many people associate CBD with marijuana and “getting high.” Shiloh clarifies: Her store offers THC-free products for professionals, families, and even pets. Products range from chocolate bites to muscle balms, gummies, and low-dose THC drinks. CBD can be used to replace alcohol, reduce anxiety, and improve relationships. 5. Entrepreneurship with Purpose Shiloh didn’t start her business for money—she started it to help people. Her business thrives on word-of-mouth, community trust, and customer care. She emphasizes that passion and purpose can lead to financial success. 🛍️ How to Access Products Website: levelmindscbd.com Local pickup and delivery available (including via DoorDash).
