In this powerful episode of the H.E.A.L. Her Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Duate Adegbite and Dr. Nena Watson—best friends, family doctors, and co-founders of Imana Health.

Together, we explore their journey as Black women physicians breaking barriers in medicine and wellness to build a brand rooted in faith, science, and sisterhood. We dive deep into why they created Muna, an oral probiotic designed specifically for vaginal health and immune support, and how they’re changing the conversation around what it means to be truly well.

We talk about healing, legacy, recurrent yeast infections, wellness myths, and why every woman deserves access to simple, reliable vaginal care that sees her, honours her, and empowers her.

Because healing doesn’t begin on the outside—it starts within. And these women are leading that movement.

In This Episode, We Cover:
  • The inspiration behind Imana Health and its founders' friendship

  • Why Muna was created—and how it supports vaginal health and immunity

  • Breaking the silence around recurrent yeast infections

  • The intersection of medicine, Black womanhood, and entrepreneurship

  • How to reclaim your health through science, ritual, and daily intention

  • What legacy means when you're building something for the next generation
