Gut Check: Food, Culture & The Health Wake-Up Call

On this episode of Hip. Hope. Hooray! Men Talkin Health, host Oya Gilbert is joined by Randy Haskins, Eric Mosley, and Tony Goicuria for an unfiltered conversation on gut health, food culture, and the lessons we learn when our bodies finally hit the “check engine” light.

From growing up in dietary deserts to battling soda, chips, and fast food cravings, the crew reflects on how access, culture, and personal choices shaped their health over the years. They share what it takes to break old habits—cutting sugar, tracking meals, drinking more water, and being intentional about what fuels the body—and why men in particular must shift from reactive health care to proactive wellness.

With humor, honesty, and real talk, this episode connects food, culture, and health into a powerful wake-up call for longevity and community strength.
