BEST MOMENTS

"Lifestyle medicine has given us an opportunity to democratise health. Everyone can afford it. It is equally effective in everyone. It's no respecter of persons."

"The reason why I walked away is because we needed to find out who was throwing the people in on the other end."

"My dreams of a healthy, happy, and longer life is possible. Using my DREAMS principles, you can get it."

"Everyone can afford lifestyle medicine. Many, many years ago, when I was saying this on radio in Abuja, Nigeria, during question and answer, one of the listeners said, Dr. Ify, please, I've heard so much about this lifestyle medicine."

"So, well, I suppose to end this fantastic conversation is to say that always remember that Dr. Ify says, my DREAMS of a healthy, happy, and longer life is possible. It is possible."
