In this episode, Dr. Takem sits down with Registered Dietitian Patience Owunwanne to dive deep into the African Diet Guide—a culturally rooted approach to nutrition. Patience shares how she introduced the guide to her mother, breaking it down into four easy-to-follow grades.
They also discuss her emotional journey of visiting Nigeria for the first time as an adult, and how it shaped her view on food, culture, and identity. Plus, they touch on the global rise of Afrobeats and the growing influence of African music, and Patience explains why understanding calories still matters—even in traditional African diets.
🎧 Tune in for an inspiring conversation that blends health, heritage, and heart.
