The panelists did not come to play, they brought their A-game as they delved into Health Wisdom Beyond the Clinic Doors: Insights from the Nyalife@5 anniversary and networking Event
The speakers shared powerful messages on holistic health, reminding us that true wellness goes beyond clinical visits.
Women’s Health & Advocacy
The obstetrician and gynaecologist emphasized essential aspects of sexual and reproductive health. The call was clear: we must all be advocates for women’s health. Men also play a critical role in supporting the well-being of the women in their lives.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Choices
On long-term wellness, the message was simple yet profound: going natural is better than relying on medications like Ozempic. Leah Adams (Nutritionist and Wellness Expert, A-Life Wellness Consultancy) highlighted the importance of:
Eating balanced meals in the proper portions
Choosing low glycemic foods
Practicing intermittent fasting
Seeking expert guidance for sustainable weight loss
Mental & Emotional Wellness
Clinical psychologist at Geno Mental Wellness Hub, Josephine, reminded us:
You are strong and resilient!
It’s okay not to be OK. Seek help when you need it
Coping strategies exist for stress, anxiety, and low moods
Mental health underpins physical, financial, and social wellness
She encouraged us to be gentle with ourselves, set realistic goals, and support loved ones. As Barbara J. beautifully said, “God has a plan for every season of your life. Trust His timing and rejoice in each season.”
Paediatric Care & Early Childhood
Dr. Lucy Otieno shared timeless wisdom on child health:
The first 1,000 days are critical for brain and body development.
Proper nutrition, active play, and minimal screen time unlock potential
Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 180 days remains unmatched in value
Prenatal care lays the foundation for a child’s future
Her reminder was profound: “The neatness of the house cannot surpass the importance of a healthy, well-fed, and stimulated baby.”
Together, these insights remind us that health is a lifelong journey; one that requires intentional care of the body, mind, and spirit.
The moderator was on point!
