In the first episode of our podcast, Resilience Pathways, Dr. Chris Fagundes is joined by Dr. Tony Brown, and they unpack how social determinants of health, like racism, policy, and social structure, shape identity, stress, and long-term health. Dr. Brown shares how strong racial identity, often viewed as protective, may actually come with a physiological cost linked to allostatic load. This means our bodies are bearing the strain of societal racism.
