This week on Sisternomics, I’m in conversation with a brilliant sister who's on a mission to help us reclaim our health and make wellness a priority. Meet Dr. Karleena Tuggle McDaniel, board-certified weight loss surgeon, wellness advocate, and co-founder of ProBlk Health, a supplement company that centers our health. In this deeply insightful episode, Dr. Karleena (aka Dr. K) breaks down a silent but serious crisis in our community: vitamin deficiency. From the widespread lack of Vitamin D to the often-overlooked need for iron and gut health support, she explains how these invisible gaps in our nutrition are impacting our energy, immunity, and long-term wellness. But this isn’t just a conversation about health problems. It’s a story of vision, empowerment, and legacy. Dr. K shares how she and her husband turned frustration into a movement by creating ProBlk Health, a brand that doesn’t just sell supplements, it reinvests into the Black community. Yup, 50% of their profits go toward initiatives that advance health equity.  This episode is for anyone who’s ready to prioritize their health, invest in their well-being, and support a brand that’s built with us in mind.
