Dr. Esther Dindi (also known as Doctor Fitness) is an accomplished medical doctor with a passion for physical fitness. She is driven by the desire to help others embrace exercise and live healthy, after embarking on her own fitness journey. On Saturday 10th February, 2018, she launched her book Hot & Healthy at Pride Inn Hotel in Nairobi.
The book focuses on reducing the effects of stress, promoting cardiovascular health and restoring balance in the modern woman’s life. Dr. Dindi says she’s always lived an active lifestyle but really got into it after the birth of her last child. She was itching to drop the ‘baby weight’ and thus became more disciplined with her diet.
As opposed to fad diets that eliminate certain food groups, Dr. Dindi focuses on a balanced diet, controlling portion sizes and proportions. She prefers whole foods and prepares her meals at home. On mental and spiritual health, she takes time to chat with loved ones whenever she’s stressed. She also prays and her faith in God takes her through rough days. She works out at home four or five times a week for half an hour, alternating between aerobics, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and cardio.
Unlike some doctors who are good at giving fitness advice but don’t practice the same, Dr. Dindi lives by example. Her passion for helping others live healthy came from seeing many people dying young from lifestyle diseases, yet they are preventable.
As a Lifestyle Diseases and Fitness expert, she offers medically sound nutrition and fitness programs for fat loss, pregnancy and post-pregnancy fitness, diabetes and hypertension and corporate wellness through her firm, Doctor Fitness Kenya Limited. This focuses on overall health and not weight. Her typical clients are professional women who are proactive in maintaining good health even as they build their corporate lives.
Grab your copy of Hot & Healthy to discover how to turn your life around through fitness. It may look daunting but Dr. Dindi encourages us that with resilience and focus on our goals, success is attainable.
