Dr. Ian combines medical expertise with cultural awareness and invites the leading health experts and advocacy voices from all over the country to empower listeners with clear information, practical tools, and the confidence to fight for themselves and their families inside and outside the doctor’s office. This show goes beyond symptoms and examines the systems—how access, environment, history, and inequity shape Black health outcomes—and what can be done right now to change them. These real conversations with actionable, you-can-do-it-now guidance, makes Black Health Unfiltered a valuable and unique resource for listeners in a complicated healthcare landscape that often leaves them feeling confused, powerless, and alone.
