Founder of Healing In Hindsight, Taylor Turner, joins me to talk about her journey of dealing with type 2 diabetes in a “magic pill” world, understanding food as medicine, and the racial discriminations that exist in the medical and wellness world today. We discuss the effects a chronic illness has on someone in their twenties, the mistreatment and communication errors that take place based on one’s skin tone and the importance of transparency in everything we pursue.

“ The thing that you’re seeing with police brutality for black men, is the thing that you see in the medical field for black women.  ”

Today we are joined by entrepreneur and podcast host, Taylor Turner, who established Healing In Hindsight out of her own experiences and desire to encourage fellow diabetics through sharing tips, strategies, and personal experiences. We share all about the evolution of chronic illness to the onset of symptoms, diagnosis process, and self-prescribed healing strategy to utilizing food as medicine. Taylor shares her own experiences in navigating the medical world as a black woman and together we reflect on the obvious misjudgements and obvious room for improvement that exists in today’s systems. 

Taylor openly shares the obvious differences that take place in a hospital for a white woman vs. a black woman and the need for radical change, starting with communication and a “for all” mentality. This empowering episode was split into two parts so be sure to check out part two (Episode 17) to finish Taylor’s story and engaging wisdom. Before wrapping up this episode we discuss the corporate errors that exist in the food and medical industry, patriarchal systems, and the need for our society to lose the “every man for himself” mindset that is too frequently carried.  
 
We also talk about: 
  • Initials signs and impact of diabetes to the human body and overall well being. 
  • Relationship issues and job loss that followed a chronic illness diagnosis
