Are Your Cells Older than Your Birthday? #shorts #selfadvocacy
Are your cells older than your birthday? 💜 In this episode, Dr. Tera breaks down the “weathering” effect—a clinical reality where systemic stress accelerates the aging process in Black women. We explore the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) data showing why we are 60% more likely to have advanced biological aging scores and what this means for your heart health.
Inside this short:
* The difference between Chronological vs. Biological Age.
* How “Weathering” impacts hypertension and aortic stiffness.
* Step-by-step walkthrough of the Self-Advocacy Framework™ to reclaim your agency in the doctor’s office.

🤖 A NOTE ON TECH & NARRATION I am a proud one-woman show, but AI is the tireless “Chief of Staff” that makes up the “Co.” in our name. To keep the storytelling flowing, you will hear a blend of my own voice and AI-generated vocals in our narrations. While AI helps me produce content, I make every effort to review each word, and insight is personally vetted and produced by me to ensure credibility
