When I tell people that the first place to build discipline is your mouth… they think I’m being dramatic.

But guess what?

You do anyhow, you see anyhow.

When you eat without structure, you lose structure in your life.
You lose boundaries. You lose rhythm. You lose respect — both from yourself and from others.

And before you start typing “body shaming” in the comments, read this:

Fat is not just size. It’s a symptom.

A symptom of stress.
A symptom of inflammation.
A symptom of deep-rooted pain masked by swallow, soda, and late-night yam frying.

But what makes it worse?

When fat meets entitlement.
When someone is battling weight issues and still believes they don’t have to adjust anything — not food, not sleep, not lifestyle.

Now flip it.
When someone loves you enough to point out that your body is in distress, and your first response is defensiveness instead of reflection, that’s not confidence. That’s coping.

Because let’s be real:
• Waking up to fry potatoes alone isn’t love. It’s loss of control.
• Eating swallow at midnight isn’t freedom. It’s a flag.
• Ignoring your health and dragging others with you? That’s not “body positivity.” That’s metabolic sabotage.

But here’s where I draw the line:

Disrespect is not correction.
Cruelty is not communication.

Yes, fat can dull your mind.
But verbal violence can rot your home.

Yes, you should watch your weight.
But you should also watch your mouth.
Especially if you’re a husband weaponizing shame instead of offering support.

Because guess what?

Fat doesn’t make people walk like pigs.
Your trauma does. Your lack of empathy does. Your ignorance does.

If you’re living with someone battling food addiction, trauma, or hormonal collapse —
And all you do is mock her, compare her to your mother, and cheat on her…
You’re not strong. You’re spineless.

Your solution to a sick partner was to get another woman?
Not help her heal? Not support her discipline?
You wanted a s*x doll, not a wife.

To everyone reading this:

Don’t be the one who lets yourself go and calls it “enjoyment.”
Don’t be the one who mocks your partner’s downfall and calls it “honesty.”
And don’t be the one who confuses love with control.

Heal your body.
Heal your home.
Heal your habits.

If you want to unfat yourself — start with food.
If you want to fix your marriage — start with truth and structure.
Not shame. Not shouting. Not cheating.

It’s not just a stomach.
It’s a signal.

Happy World Diabetes Day!!!! (Even though it was celebrated yesterday 😛)

Today, we shine a light on a condition affecting millions and remind ourselves that with the right knowledge, support, and habits, diabetes can be managed safely and confidently.

Now let’s talk about medication safety!

Did you know that taking your diabetes medicines correctly is just as important as getting the right diagnosis? From insulin to oral tablets, every medication works best when taken at the right dose, at the right time, and in the right way.

3 Diabetes Safety Tips to Remember:
1. Never skip your medications, even when you’re feeling fine.
2. Check your blood sugar regularly. Knowledge is power!
3. Ask before you mix: Some herbal remedies and over-the-counter medicines may interfere with your diabetes treatment.

Your safety matters. Your health matters.
Let’s keep spreading awareness, breaking myths, and supporting one another toward healthier lives.

Sometimes it is not you but your house that is sick....

SOMETIMES IT'S NOT YOUR BODY THAT'S SICK, IT'S YOUR HOUSE.

Celta Vigo player Carl Starfelt was sick for months.
Doctors ran every test. Nothing made sense.
Until they checked his home, and they found mold not just on the walls, but in the air, in his lungs, in his life.

He moved out. He got better. Just like that.

I’ve spoken about mold before, and every time I do, people think it’s an exaggeration.
But tell me, how many times have you “recovered” from sickness only to fall sick again?
How many times have you prayed against spiritual attack, but slept every night breathing rot?

Mold doesn’t just grow on walls.
It grows in silence.
In damp bathrooms you refuse to fix.
In those corners you keep painting over.
In that mattress that’s never seen the sun.

You think it’s stress.
You think it’s typhoid.
You think you need detox tea.
No.
You need air that doesn’t feed on you.

It’s heartbreaking how many people are fighting invisible enemies in their own homes: foggy memory, morning headaches, dry throat, burning eyes — all from what they call “small dampness.”

This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s awareness.
Because you can’t heal in the same environment that’s making you sick.

If your house smells musty, check it.
If your bathroom ceiling looks dark, clean it.
If your child coughs every night, don’t just buy cough syrup, inspect the walls.

Sometimes healing begins when you move out, open the windows, and finally breathe.

Is your liver healthy?

They told you, “Eat more fruit.”
They forgot to add: if your liver is healthy.

Fructose doesn’t go to your bloodstream.
It goes straight to your liver.
And when your liver is already overloaded with sugar, seed oil, and toxins, fructose turns into fat.

Fat in the liver.
Fat around the belly.
Fat around the heart.

That “natural smoothie”? It’s liquid insulin resistance.
Your green juice with pineapple? It’s candy in a disguise.

Yes, fruit has vitamins.
But fruit sugar has no brake pedal.
And your liver doesn’t care if it came from soda or mangoes —
once it’s too much, it becomes chaos.

You don’t have to hate fruit.
You just have to respect it.

Whole fruits, small portions, not juices.
And only when your metabolism has earned it.

Because health is not about eating “good foods.”
It’s about eating right for your liver’s capacity.

Somebody just bought paracetamol tablets and took three tablets at once 😲

I quickly told him he should have taken two tablets, Baba says he takes four tablets on a norm.

Ahhhhh!

Is your liver a joke to you?

You may be getting away with it now but there is always a day of reckoning.

Taking your medicines the right way is for your health and safety.

Una good night o!

Everything you learn is an investment in yourself. When I learnt stocktaking and put it to practise every month in the public health space, I thought they were just stressing me, but finishing the stock taking for the month of October in the community pharmacy i realised more than ever before that monthly stocking = medication safety!

At PharmGuide & More Pharmacy, we take monthly stocking seriously not just to fill our shelves, but to protect your health.

Why it matters:
Every month, we carefully check:
✅ Medicine expiry dates
✅ Proper storage conditions
✅ Stock levels for essential medicines
✅ Safe disposal of expired or damaged drugs
This helps ensure that every medicine you receive is safe, effective, and up-to-date.

💬 Remember:
Buying medicines from pharmacies that monitor stock and quality means you’re choosing safety over shortcuts.

Pro tip: Always check your medicine’s expiry date before use and return expired
medicines to your pharmacy for safe disposal.

Happy new month everyone!

This couldn't have been expressed better...

When your doctor’s handwriting looks like a secret code…...
But this isn’t a mystery we should be guessing.
Every day, unclear or illegible prescriptions put patients at real risk — wrong drugs, wrong doses, or even dangerous drug interactions.
It’s not just a handwriting issue… it’s a medication safety issue.

Here’s why it matters:

Pharmacists spend extra time trying to decode handwriting instead of dispensing faster.
Errors can occur if the wrong medicine is assumed.
Patients may lose trust or even skip medicines out of confusion.

We all have a part to play...

Doctors: Write clearly or use electronic prescriptions.
Pharmacists: Always verify when in doubt.
Patients: Never be afraid to ask “Please, what does this mean?”
Medication safety starts with clear communication.
Let’s end the era of “guess-the-prescription”!
