She is married to her husband of 21 years and they have a son. What We Discuss In This Episode: Dr. Ola shares her 15+ years practicing family medicine. During that time, she noticed that her female patients had difficulty and struggles with weight loss. Additional courses led her to empower women holistically without medications or surgery. She founded Empower Her Wellness and Weight Loss Simplified. Dr. Ola's program balances spirit, mind and body per her Christian faith. Her "7S method" starts with surrendering to God, incorporating affirmations and scripture to develop a healthy mindset. Dr. Ola is a big proponent of time-blocking daily routines and prioritizing self-care through efficient meal-prepping and consistent habits. Forming new routines in 3 weeks can lead to lifestyle changes. A balanced diet featuring whole grains, proteins and healthy fats is crucial to health, though restrictive diets backfire. Meal-prepping empowers consistency while understanding nutrition's role in disease prevention. Seeing one's body as a God-given gift inspires gratitude, mindfulness and surrendering struggles to Him. Daily scripture, affirmations and prayer develop a healthy relationship with oneself and goals.
