8.6.2026 #SecondOpinion w/ Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton: Black Men's Health. Testosterone Therapy Myths. Back Pain Relief #SecondOpinion

In this episode of **#SecondOpinion**, Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton focuses on the health issues affecting men and families—from testosterone therapy and preventive care to back-to-school vaccinations, back pain, and the importance of taking control of your long-term health.

Internationally renowned urologist **Dr. Arthur Burnett** of Johns Hopkins Medicine separates fact from fiction surrounding testosterone therapy. He explains why fatigue, low energy, weight gain, and low libido aren't always caused by low testosterone, discusses the medical conditions that can produce similar symptoms, and explains why Black men should prioritize preventive screenings and establish care with a primary care physician before turning to hormone therapy or supplements.

Pediatrician **Dr. Ashanti Woods** shares what every parent should know before the new school year begins. From checking vaccination records to protecting children against measles and other preventable diseases, he explains why staying up to date on recommended immunizations remains one of the best ways to keep children, classrooms, and communities healthy.

Chiropractor **Dr. Ronnie Bolar** discusses why so many men ignore back pain until it becomes debilitating and offers practical, medication-free strategies to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, strengthen the core, and prevent chronic back problems through movement, posture, stretching, and early intervention.

In the Prescription of the Week, Dr. Hilton explains why men die, on average, nearly six years earlier than women and why prevention—not waiting until symptoms appear—is one of the most powerful ways to protect your health. She highlights the importance of annual physicals, knowing your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and family history, and taking action before preventable diseases become life-threatening.
