The Insulin Imprint: Why Black Women Store More and Burn Less

Unpacking the hormonal roots of obesity and understanding that your body isn't broken—it’s just misunderstood.
Join Dr. B for a powerful conversation that blends science, soul, and strategy. In “The Insulin Imprint,” she reveals why Black women’s bodies respond differently to food, stress, and exercise—and how understanding insulin is the key to real change. You’ll leave with clarity, compassion for yourself, and the confidence to take control of your wellness journey.

From Willpower to Win Power: Habits That Actually Stick

This isn't another talk about carbs or cardio—this is about the power of your mind. In this bold and motivational session, Dr. Brittain disrupts the traditional weight loss narrative by shifting the focus away from the number on the scale and toward the daily habits and mental patterns that shape long-term wellness.

Blending the self-compassion practices with practical habit-stacking wisdom, Dr. Brittain teaches women how to replace shame with strategy and motivation with systems. Through relatable storytelling, real science, and actionable steps, she reveals how small, consistent shifts in behavior and mindset can transform not just bodies—but lives.

Participants will leave feeling energized, equipped, and empowered to rebuild their routines, rethink their inner dialogue, and reimagine what success looks like—one habit at a time.

You Don’t Need Motivation—You Need a Method!

Most people don’t fail at weight loss because they’re lazy—they fail because they rely on motivation, which is fleeting at best. In this eye-opening and energizing talk, Dr. Brittain challenges the hustle-hard, all-or-nothing approach that leaves so many people stuck in the yo-yo cycle of dieting.

She reveals the real difference between “eating healthy” and eating in a calorie deficit, helping audiences understand why good intentions aren’t enough without the right strategy. Blending behavioral science with no-nonsense truth, she unpacks why consistency always beats intensity—and how to build the daily systems that make discipline doable.

This talk is for anyone tired of starting over, second-guessing their body, or blaming themselves for "lack of willpower." Dr. Brittain offers a new way forward—one that’s rooted in structure, sustainability, and self-compassion.

Defining a Good Death: Faith, Culture, and the Black American Experience

I will be discussing the role of vitalism, faith and spirituality in EOL decision-making in black Americans; the historical context that has shaped the definition of suffering for black Americans; the role of miracles in decision-making; and offering guidance on how providers, family members, friends and caregivers can compassionately navigate these themes when prognoses is medically grim

From Worn Out to Lit Up: Reclaiming Energy Through Compassionate Care

In this powerful and relatable talk, Dr. Brittain explores the unseen weight of caregiving—what happens when the heart is full, but the body and spirit are running on empty. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, family caregiver, or service professional, this session speaks directly to the exhaustion that often accompanies high-empathy roles. But instead of just naming burnout, Dr. Brittain offers a breakthrough: compassion energy.

Drawing on neuroscience, real-life stories, and her own clinical experience, she teaches how to transform depletion into purpose-filled momentum. Participants will walk away with tools to set healthy boundaries, reconnect with meaning in their work, and reignite their emotional stamina—so they can continue to care without losing themselves in the process.
