In 2010, Jacqueline Glass faced a health crisis that would reshape her life’s trajectory. Diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and hypothyroidism, she embarked on a journey to reverse the effects of potentially chronic diseases.
Choosing a plant-based lifestyle and incorporating daily workouts, Glass witnessed a remarkable turnaround within three months, with all health indicators returning to the normal range.
Jacqueline’s story is emblematic of a broader issue faced by many women, particularly within the black community, silently grappling with heart disease, the leading cause of death among U.S. women.
With 50% of black women contending with various heart diseases and a 60% higher risk of diabetes, the need for transformative narratives addressing health disparities is evident.
