Dr Chidi at TEDx Kings College London
More and more people are coming to understand that something significant has changed, particularly with the western diet and lifestyle. We are out of alignment with the best things nature has provided in order to give us optimal health. We are over-tired, over-stressed and over-indulged. That’s why we call it ‘lifestyle diseases’. Most of what we eat comes in a bag, a box or a tin. That means it’s processed and the processors care more about their bank balances than your health. This promotes high rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Watch this talk by Dr Chidi Ngwaba to understand how small changes in our lifestyles can have a powerful & positive effect on our health.
His Approach to Cure
Trained in surgery, general practice & Lifestyle Medicine at two of the UK’s leading hospitals, Cambridge Addenbrookes & Papworth Hospital as well as John’s Hopkins (USA), his passion is to reverse, improve or prevent chronic illnesses, including heart disease, cancer, arthritis and diabetes through Lifestyle Medicine. He left surgery and turned to Lifestyle Medicine after realizing that medicine and surgery alone could not cure people with chronic illnesses and the only way to really cure them was to actually change their lifestyles.
