1:07:59Now Playing8.13.2026 #SecondOpinion w/ Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton: The Price of Black Exclusion in Healthcare. Forever Chemicals. Estrogen Facts
Award-winning investigative journalist Nicole Carr joins Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton to discuss The Price of Exclusion: The Pursuit of Healthcare in a Segregated Nation and how the closure of Black medical schools, discriminatory policies, financial barriers, and generations of exclusion continue shaping who becomes a doctor, who gets care, and who is left behind.
Dr. Jahred Liddie breaks down the EPA’s approval of additional PFAS-containing pesticides, also known as “forever chemicals,” for use on major U.S. crops. He explains the concerns surrounding long-term exposure, cancer risk, immune effects, liver disease, and practical ways families can reduce exposure through food and water choices.
Board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Donna Adams-Pickett separates fact from hype around estrogen, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and the growing conversation about longevity. She explains why hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all and what women should consider when making decisions about healthy aging.
In the Prescription of the Week, Dr. Hilton explains how ZIP code, housing, education, environmental exposure, healthcare access, and public policy can shape life expectancy and racial health outcomes. The message is direct: health policy is public health, and the decisions made about communities can determine who gets the chance to live a longer, healthier life.
