About

I’m Dr. Ofon – clinical hospital pharmacist turned registered dietitian and certified personal trainer.

I first discovered the body-altering power of food when I started competing in body building and fitness competitions. I was provided an exercise plan and a meal schedule which I followed to the letter.

A few months later, I had a six-pack… WHAT?? ME?? HOW?? At first, I assumed that it was the result of the vigorous workouts and never-ending steady-state cardio sessions.

However, I gained most of the weight back after the competition was over. Despite maintaining most of the workouts… I went back to my old eating habits in full force. I had to “make up” and reward myself for all those weeks I “deprived” myself. I realized that my diet was the culprit.

As a practicing pharmacist, I would often see patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, fatty liver disease, and renal insufficiency. Oftentimes, these patients were overweight or obese and on multiple daily medications. Studies have shown that the conditions mentioned above can be controlled or even “reversed” with proper nutrition.

THIS is what led me back to school to study nutrition science. I had to find out what it was about food that was way more potent and safer than popping a pill.
