Black Health Unfiltered is a bold, necessary, and truth-centered podcast hosted by NY Times bestselling author and TV personality, Dr. Ian Smith, dedicated to addressing the health issues that disproportionately impact Black communities—without watering it down, avoiding hard conversations, or reinforcing stigma, this podcast tells the truth. Each episode breaks down a condition or conditions that are most common, most deadly, and most misunderstood in Black America, from heart disease and diabetes to mental health, medical bias, skin issues, weight loss, and preventive care. Dr. Ian combines medical expertise with cultural awareness and invites the leading health experts and advocacy voices from all over the country to empower listeners with clear information, practical tools, and the confidence to fight for themselves and their families inside and outside the doctor’s office. This show goes beyond symptoms and examines the systems—how access, environment, history, and inequity shape Black health outcomes—and what can be done right now to change them. These real conversations with actionable, you-can-do-it-now guidance, makes Black Health Unfiltered a valuable and unique resource for listeners in a complicated healthcare landscape that often leaves them feeling confused, powerless, and alone. Because knowledge is power, and informed patients save many lives.Copyright 2026
