How Cancer Is Killing Nigerians Through Culture and Lifestyle | Dr. Patrick Ijewere x Seyi Banigbe

In this powerful episode of Breaking Things Down with Seyi Banigbe, we shine a spotlight on one of the most alarming health issues facing Nigerians today: the silent rise of cancer and the hidden lifestyle choices fueling it. You may know Dr. Patrick Ijewere from his radio program 'Wellness Half-Hour' on Inspiration FM, but he’s also one of Nigeria’s leading voices in the prevention and reversal of chronic degenerative diseases. After receiving his specialty training in Internal Medicine and gaining over 15 years of professional medical exposure in Florida, he returned home to make a lasting impact on healthcare in Nigeria. In this episode, Dr. Ijewere (co-founder of Carib Health Group) breaks down how seemingly everyday habits (from beauty products laced with harmful chemicals to the loss of ancestral diets, poor sleep patterns, synthetic clothing, and even shortcuts to weight loss) are creating the perfect storm for cancer and other chronic illnesses. This conversation dives deep into the root causes behind the spike in diseases like cancer, hypertension, infertility, and more. But more than just highlighting the issues, Dr. Ijewere offers clear, practical solutions you can begin implementing today to protect yourself and your family. If you’ve ever wondered why cancer is affecting more people, even at younger ages, this episode will open your eyes and empower you to take control of your health before it’s too late. #CancerAwareness #PreventCancer #HealthyLiving #HealthInNigeria #AncestralLiving #DrPatrickIjewere #CaribHealthGroup #SeyiBanigbe #BreakingThingsDownPodcast 💫 Seyi’s jewellery is provided by Bland2Glam (https://bland2glam.com.ng/) TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro 02:07 - Meet Dr. Ijewere 03:57 - What part of Nigerian culture is killing us? 06:19 - How our shift from ancestral diets to Western food is hurting us 12:55 - Lifestyle choices that are doing damage 15:35 - How synthetic fabrics and materials harm our health 18:33 - The sleep epidemic: Nigerians aren't resting enough 20:43 - How to be intentional with your body 23:22 - Why cancer, high BP, and diabetes are now rampant 30:30 - Practical lifestyle changes we can make today 34:48 - Modern bad habits: Weight loss drugs, cosmetic procedures & shortcuts 37:40 - Reversing cancer and chronic illnesses 41:17 - Erectile dysfunction and infertility on the rise 44:24 - “White rice is a thief" 45:35 - What about jollof and small chops? 46:17 - Final thoughts 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more powerful conversations!
