For those of you new around here, I thought I'd introduce myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I was an orthodontist for over 20 years - I still love giving people a reason to smile! 😄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Discovered my paleo-type lifestyle almost 15 years ago, which is when I learned about Functional Medicine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Became very ill in 2013 and conventional medicine decided that it was all in my head and I wasn't having that!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Retrained seven years ago to become a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Until recently, was a proud mum of 21 children, yes 21! 😝
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I have 3 beautiful kids - 2 boys and a girl.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I have 2 crazy fur babies, Ralph and Rafferty, also known as cattus piggusses (they're very, very greedy cats).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Until recently, I had 16 wonderful hens (who are no more 😔 thanks to a vixen who left her calling card).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I speak fluent English (obviously 😉) and Yoruba, a little bit of Ibo and Greek. I intend to start learning Spanish and Portuguese one day very soon. I will become fluent in the other 4 - Life goals right here!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Most mornings, you'll find me sipping on a mug of decaf BulletProof Coffee after listening to East Forest's guided meditation "Sing Me Awake".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I LOVE, LOVE kimchi and chocolate 😋 (but not at the same time, because ewww!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I hate cheese fiercely, and with the passion of at least a million fiery burning suns!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I went through a phase of putting food in my hair 🫣 - I'm talking avocado, bananas and eggs as a natural conditioner. Never again!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I started reading when I was 2 years old, and the first book I read all by myself was Mr. Percival Pig.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's enough about me!
Your turn now - do we have anything in common? 👇🏾
