Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Olufemi Ladeinde and I am a medical practitioner and nutritional consultant. Graduating from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, Medical School (1978) I went on to complete a surgical training at Guy’s Hospital, London between 1977 and 1978. As an avid football fan I had the opportunity to specialise in sports medicine for the first year of my career. I became part of the medical group of the Nigeria National Sports Commission and was a member of the Medical team that took the Nigeria contingent to the Moscow Olympics in 1980 where I was responsible for the fitness of the National Football team, the Green Eagles, during that competition.

With the “Glory Days” of Nigerian Football behind us, (we had won the Africa Cup of Nations, and caught international attention at the Olympics), I turned my attention to the important task of deciphering the complexities of Human Health and Disease. I became a valued member of the team at County Hospital Ikeja, Lagos between 1981 and 1985 because of my passion for the health and well being of my patients and my abilities as an extraordinary communicator with my colleagues. I left County Hospital to found the Family Medical Centre, building it into a two clinic and 20-bed hospital between 1985 and 1993, when I returned to the United Kingdom.

In 1995, I started looking into nutrition and its effect on health and the process of aging. With my experience and knowledge I can explain the intricate details of the mechanisms of operation of the human body in both health and disease in a way that anyone can feel at home with. Through a process of uncompromising learning and application I have refined my initial model of healthy living to a fine art.

My wish at this stage of my career is to help people with health challenges find a way to retrieve optimal health. Whatever else you may have, without health it would not mean much.
