Empower Your Health: The Lifestyle Medicine Blueprint

An introduction into the root cause of ill-health and what you can do to control your own health.

My name is Lukman Olusesi and I am a public health physician. I have been in medical practice for 25 years and in all my years of medical practice, I have always known that something is fundamentally missing in the way we practice medicine, both within and outside my country, Nigeria. When my patients come for drug refill, as the only management of their high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases, osteoarthritis, and other chronic non-communicable diseases, I know I could do more, but my medical training did not point me in the right direction to help my patients better than merely sending them off with another set of medication with a strict warning not to miss a day.

Quite by chance, I learned about Lifestyle Medicine through interaction with Dr. Jack Mbom of the Dr. Jack Wellness Centre, I started reading voraciously and researching lifestyle medicine, and what I discovered was mind boggling. 

High Blood Pressure and type 2 diabetes can be totally cured by changes in lifestyle. Blood pressure medication costs about N150,000 per year. One way of looking at it is that people could save for themselves N150,000 and whatever other damage high blood pressure and the medications caused to their  body.

Maybe you are not ready to change today. Just remember that you are responsible for your health. You now know the 6 ways you can improve your health. If you or a loved one gets a diagnosis of cancer or a chronic disease like high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes, you know where to find the information you need. It has been my honor to share this valuable information with you. Thank you for your time and attention.
