🎶 This is how we do it… we take care of our health.

In this New Year episode of CRxOWN Talks, Dr. Ragan sets the tone for 2026 by putting routine health maintenance on the vision board — because prevention doesn’t feel urgent until it is.

We break down why this conversation matters right now, especially as Affordable Care Act protections face rollbacks and legal challenges that threaten access to preventive care many people don’t even realize they’re using.

The episode also speaks directly to Black men about prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers in men and one that disproportionately affects our community. With so many public diagnoses — including This Is How We Do It artist Montell Jordan — Dr. Ragan breaks down what prostate cancer screening actually looks like today, why early disease often has no symptoms, and why waiting for warning signs can be dangerous.

If you’ve been putting off a checkup, avoiding the doctor, or assuming you’ll “know when something’s wrong,” this episode is for you.

Because taking care of your health is how we do it.

🎧 Listen. Share. And start the year Black, healthy, and crowned.

'Lemme see your Grillz'

This week on CRxOWN Talks, we’re talking teeth — the culture, the care, and everything in between. Inspired by the hit song “Grillz,” this episode dives into the truth about oral health and why it matters for so much more than aesthetics. Our guest, Dr. Camille Tabor-Cobb, breaks down how oral health connects to whole-body wellness, the myths that keep our community from getting the care we deserve, and the daily habits that can make or break your smile.

From that “missing side tooth” folks pretend isn’t gone, to tongue health, gum care, inflammation, and the rise of cosmetic dentistry (yes, including grillz!), we explore how access, culture, confidence, and health all collide in the mouth. Whether you floss daily or haven’t seen a dentist in a minute, this conversation keeps it real — and keeps you smiling.

Tupac said we gotta make a change in his song Changes... Well we are about to get into some health changes.

This solo episode of CRxOWN Talks honors men’s health month Dr. Ragan dives into andropause — the gradual hormonal shift men experience as testosterone levels dip with age. From mood and motivation to muscle, intimacy, and overall vitality, this episode breaks down what’s happening inside the body and how to navigate it with knowledge and power.

We’ll unpack the myths, the science, and the stigma — especially for Black men who face higher health risks and less access to care. Plus, hear real talk about natural ways to boost energy, how to eat for hormone health, and why those gas-station “enhancement” pills are not the move.

Those three words speak to strength, survival, and the power of prevention.

Human trafficking isn’t just a “somewhere else” problem — it’s happening in our own communities, often hidden in plain sight. In this powerful episode of CRxOWN Talks, we’re talking about awareness, protection, and what every family needs to know to keep our kids safe and free.

Joining me is Coasy Hale, LMSW, Chief Operations Officer and Co-Founder of Restore Corps by Freed Life, where she’s spent the last seven years leading advocacy, survivor support, and community education across West Tennessee.

We discuss:
🧠 What trafficking really looks like (and what it doesn’t)
💬 The warning signs every parent and school worker should know
🌍 How communities can prevent exploitation before it starts
🤝 The power of advocacy, collaboration, and survivor-centered care

Coasy reminds us that freedom is not only a right — it’s a responsibility.
Because when we protect our children, we protect our future.
