Six members of my family died from preventable chronic disease. That's not a statistic. That's my mother, my father, my siblings. It's what happens when the systems meant to support our health fail us — and when no one ever taught us how to take control. Healthy & Black exists because that story is too common, and it doesn't have to be. Hosted by Dr. Jarik Conrad — author, nutritionist, executive coach, and founder of Qonscious Health — this podcast is for Black Americans who are done surviving and ready to thrive. Each episode explores the science, psychology, and practical strategies behind whole-person health. No miracle cures. No magic potions. Just evidence-based insights and honest conversations about what it really takes to feel better, think better, and perform better — in your body, your relationships, and your career.Copyright 2026 Healthy and Black Esercizio e fitness Fitness, dieta e nutrizione Igiene e vita sana Psicologia Psicologia e salute mentale

  • The People Who Need Coaching Most Often Get It Least

    The People Who Need Coaching Most Often Get It Least
    Oct 12 2026
    For over 20 years, I thought I was coaching. I got great feedback and plenty of repeat clients. But I was really advising: giving people answers instead of building their ability to find their own. In this episode, I make that confession and explain why the difference matters. An advisor helps you make a better decision. A coach helps you get better at deciding. I also talk about who gets left out of coaching. Too often it’s reserved for wealthy individuals and senior executives whose companies pay for it. Meanwhile, the people under the most pressure rarely have anyone asking them the questions that help them grow. These are the people caring for kids and aging parents, carrying career stress, and often the first in their families to do what they’re doing. In this episode: -My confession: why I was advising, not coaching -Coaching vs. advising vs. mentoring vs. therapy -Why the gap isn’t information, it’s insight and follow-through -How culture, cost, and convenience wear us down -Democratizing coaching, and why I built an AI coach designed to build agency, not dependency -Why “no guilt, no shame” accountability changes behavior -Using AI to make us more human, not less Remember: don’t let culture, cost, and convenience ruin your health. #HealthyAndBlack #Coaching #BlackHealth #Agency #AICoaching #HealthEquity #EmotionalIntelligence #Wellness #QonsciousHealth

  • Tech Hustle Has A Price

    Tech Hustle Has A Price
    Sep 17 2026
    Finally, a guest! Dr. Jarik Conrad sits down with Kham Ward, founder and CEO of Black Men in Tech, former Ultimate Software/UKG colleague, and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity brother, for a candid conversation about the real cost of the grind and of being "the only one" in the room. Kham shares why he started Black Men in Tech in 2020 and how it grew into a community that reaches more than 80,000 people and has helped over 500 people get hired, all built on three pillars: convene, connect, and care. He and Jarik talk about why Black professionals still make up only about 8% of the tech workforce despite years of STEM focus, and how AI is changing the game for those willing to learn it. Then it gets personal. Kham opens up about the health scare that put him in the hospital after months of ignoring the warning signs while running his company at full speed. He talks about what he learned lying in that hospital bed, why convenience is his biggest health challenge, and the routines he's built since then to keep from ending up back there. In this episode: -Why Black Men in Tech was created and how it works -Why representation in tech is still so low -How AI is reshaping opportunity -The hidden mental and physical stress of being "the only one" -Kham's wake-up call and the habits he's built since -Culture, cost, or convenience: which one drives your health choices? -Why you need a few like-minded people in your corner, and why they don't all have to look like you If you've been running on hustle and ignoring what your body is telling you, this one's for you.

  • The Qonscious Health Q-Grid

    The Qonscious Health Q-Grid
    Aug 25 2026
    Most of us have been handed the same advice for decades: eat the salad, skip the fries, try harder. And most of us have failed at it, not because we're weak, but because we've never had a system for balancing what tastes good against what's good for us. We know what we like. We know what's healthy. What's missing is a way to make those two things work together. In this episode, Dr. Jarik Conrad walks through the Q-Grid, a simple nine-box tool that puts taste and nutrition on the table at the same time. When you lay them side by side, your plate sorts itself into three moves. Anchor the foods you love that also love you back. Retire the ones that aren't tasty enough to earn their spot. And get honest about the Balance cells, where taste and nutrition disagree and the real work lives. Jarik explains how the Q-Grid grew out of his own health reversal, why it works across various diets, and how filling in your own Taste Map turns a generic diet into a plan you can actually live with. If you're in that sandwich-generation stretch, caring for kids and parents while trying to keep yourself upright, this one's for you. No shame, no blame. Just a system.
