Welcome to Protecting Your Nest with Dr. Tony Hampton. Victor Ramos is a patient of Dr. Hampton’s. He is also a member of the Native American community—a chronically underserved group. Native Americans, compared to other groups, are disproportionately effected by disease due to a number of factors.

In this discussion, Dr. Tony and Antonio talk about:

(03:11) Victor’s background and how he ended up becoming Dr. Tony’s patient (13:20) How Victor got started on his health journey (20:29) How Victor’s family has reacted to his health transformation (23:27) How Victor overcame the obstacles in his way to achieve his goals with the help of his family (27:44) Why so many in the Latin American and Native American communities are disproportionately effected by disease (35:20) The dietary/nutritional history of Native Americans (42:23) Wether there is any truth to the idea that Native Americans have resources that other communities do not have access too (46:30) Cultural appropriation and culturally insensitive portrayals of Native Americans
