Tochi Okafor is a wellness coach, educator, and advocate for nutrient-dense foods. Her nutrition journey deepened when she formally studied the subject and, for the first time, understood in clear and practical terms how food choices directly impact weight, energy, and long-term health. Determined to put her knowledge into practice, Tochi made a deliberate shift to eat more whole, unprocessed foods. This became her turning point. She lost overall weight, including stubborn belly fat, and more importantly, she has sustained these results over the years. This transformation unlocked her deep commitment to nutrition education.

Tochi realized that food is not just about filling the stomach, it is medicine, prevention, and fuel for living fully. She also recognized a gap: many Nigerians were overlooking locally grown, nutrient-dense foods in favor of imported or processed alternatives. That realization fueled her passion to educate, coach, and advocate for foods that are both accessible and healing. Taking this passion further, Tochi started an online food store that provides nutrient-dense, locally grown options such as Acha (Fonio) grain, Tigernut milk powder, Dates powder, and more. Her goal is to make healthier eating not only possible but accessible for everyone.

Through her work, Tochi brings together two powerful pillars: good nutrition and intentional movement. She teaches that while food builds the foundation, movement strengthens it, together creating the pathway to lasting physical wellness. Her approach is practical, encouraging, and rooted in lived experience, which makes her message resonate with individuals and organizations alike.

Today, Tochi channels her story and expertise into her mission of helping Nigerians make better food choices, move with intention, and embrace a lifestyle that prevents disease while supporting vitality at every stage of life. She has worked with over 70 women and with organizations such as FSDH and Fosad Consulting to help them achieve their health and fitness goals through personalized nutrition coaching and exercise accountability programs. In addition, Tochi is a wellness writer for the Vanguard Newspaper, where she shares insights on food, movement, and wellbeing with a wider audience
