In this episode of #SecondOpinion, Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton explores the growing measles outbreak, the connection between quality sleep and peak performance, groundbreaking innovations helping cancer survivors regain confidence, and why knowing your blood pressure could save your life.
Performance strategist Kuti Mack explains why success begins the night before. He shares his "Blueprint" approach to better sleep, discussing how consistent sleep habits, limiting caffeine, alcohol, and screen time, and creating the right sleep environment can improve focus, productivity, recovery, and overall health. He also breaks down how sleep-tracking technology can help people build healthier routines and perform at their best.
Next, four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and iWIG founder Mara Porter discusses restorative oncology care and the emotional impact cancer treatment can have on a person's confidence and identity. She explains how the world's first eyelash prosthetic is helping cancer survivors, as well as people living with alopecia and other medical conditions, restore not only their appearance but also their sense of self.
Epidemiologist Dr. Kenyatta Stephens joins the show to explain why measles is making a troubling comeback across the United States. She discusses how the highly contagious virus spreads, symptoms families should watch for, the importance of vaccination, travel precautions, and why the MMR vaccine remains one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent serious illness.
In the Prescription of the Week, Dr. Hilton focuses on high blood pressure—the "silent killer." She explains why hypertension disproportionately impacts Black Americans, what blood pressure numbers everyone should know, the serious health risks of uncontrolled hypertension, and the everyday lifestyle changes that can help protect your heart, brain, kidneys, and overall health before symptoms ever appear.
