Your back pain, your stiff neck, your tight shoulders are not signs that your body is breaking down. They are signs that your body is talking to you. And if you are a Black woman living under chronic stress, it has been trying to get your attention for a long time.
In this episode of the Lushness Podcast, host Laura sits down with Dr. Amber Jackson, Doctor of Chiropractic, clinical researcher at Life University, and adjunct professor in the chiropractic sciences, to unpack the direct connection between chronic stress and chronic pain, why Black women carry it differently, and what you can do today to start reversing it.
Dr. Jackson breaks down why movement is medicine and not just a weight loss tool, how elevated cortisol keeps your body in a constant state of fight or flight amplifying pain, what spinal hygiene is and why your spine deserves the same attention as your teeth, and how small daily movements create real lasting change in the body.
You do not have to live in pain. Your body will heal when you give it what it needs. It is time to listen.
