Dr. Asia Lyons discusses the concept of racial battle fatigue, explaining how our bodies respond to the stress caused by racism. She highlights the various manifestations of this burden, such as irritability, increased drinking and smoking, panic attacks, hives, hair loss, and resentment. Dr. Lyons references Dr. Smith, who coined the term, and compares the body's reaction to that of being in a war zone. This episode delves deep into the trauma and stress associated with racism and explores the significant amount of time spent coping with its effects.
