In this episode of the THRIVE podcast, presented by My Health. Reimagined, LaVerne is joined by Dr. Lee Bynum (host of the Score podcast). In their conversation, LaVerne and Lee wove together personal history, family roots, and the big ideas that inspired LaVerne to launch My Health Reimagined, a space where stories that have too often gone unheard are brought into the light. LaVerne and Lee took a deep dive into upbringing and curiosity, the intersections of identity and health, and why reimagining health matters so deeply right now. If you care about human-centered health, narratives that shift our view of health and science, or why our stories matter in shaping the systems that shape us, this chat will feel like an invitation to reimagine with us. May this conversation ripple outward, nudging us all to listen more deeply, speak more honestly, and build systems that honor the full richness of human experience.
