Taking care of your health can help you become a better dentist, says Dr. Uche Odiatu, a
practising dentist in Toronto and international speaker on wellness for health professionals.
“It’s about much more than just wellness and weight loss. I look at the whole; I really want
dentists to know that being healthy not only makes you a better dentist, a better parent, and a
better community person, it also gives you more energy, allows you to think more clearly, and
allows your back to be less sore.” It’s a message that clearly resonates with his audiences in
Canada and around the world.
Create an active and balanced life
Before becoming a dentist, Dr. Odiatu was an athlete and competitor in body-building
competitions. He also co-authored a book,
The Miracle of Health: Simple Solutions, Extraordinary
Results
, with his wife Kary, a Ms. Fitness Universe winner and retired physical education teacher
for children. It’s this unique mix of experiences that has allowed him to carve out a career
as a professional speaker on wellness and fitness for health professionals. In seminars and
workshops, he teaches over 10 programs that cover topics like active living, stress reduction,
and creating balance.
