The Health Spiral - Exploring Hypervigilance and Hypochondria

Tanya and Jessica engage in a crucial discussion that explores the fine line between hypochondria and hypervigilance. They dissect the impact of historical narratives, including the mistreatment of black bodies, shedding light on how societal expectations and cultural norms shape black women's interactions with their health. Together, they candidly share their experiences, discussing moments of self-advocacy, medical gaslighting, and the internal struggle of discerning genuine health concerns from societal biases.

The conversation delves into the importance of mental health in the context of hypochondria and hypervigilance, the emotional toll of constantly navigating health spaces as a black woman, and the need for mental well-being to be prioritized in discussions about overall health.
