About Vivian Okpala
Vivian Okpala is a passionate health educator, wellness coach, and the founder of VeeVee Health, a growing digital health platform dedicated to helping individuals and families make informed, practical, and culturally relevant health decisions.
With a strong focus on preventive health, Vivian is especially committed to raising awareness about conditions that disproportionately affect African and Black communities, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, weight-related conditions, and metabolic health challenges. Her work is driven by a simple but powerful belief: many chronic illnesses can be prevented, managed, or even reversed when people are given the right knowledge in a way they can understand and apply.
Vivian’s approach to health education is rooted in clarity, empathy, and real-life practicality. She understands that health advice often fails when it ignores culture, lifestyle, family responsibilities, and economic realities. That is why VeeVee Health focuses on real foods, everyday habits, and sustainable lifestyle changes, rather than extreme diets or unrealistic health trends.
As a public health–focused content creator, Vivian produces educational articles, videos, and social media content that simplify complex medical topics without losing accuracy. She is particularly known for breaking down “silent” conditions—those that develop quietly over time, such as hypertension and insulin resistance—helping people recognise early warning signs before complications arise.
Vivian is also deeply interested in the connection between nutrition, metabolism, and chronic disease. Her work frequently explores how African diets, when properly balanced and portioned, can support blood sugar control, liver health, and heart health. Rather than promoting Westernised or restrictive eating patterns, she advocates for healthier adaptations of traditional meals, empowering people to improve their health without losing cultural identity.
Through VeeVee Health, Vivian addresses common myths and misconceptions around health topics such as intermittent fasting, weight loss, diabetes management, and lifestyle medicine. She places strong emphasis on education over fear, encouraging people to take ownership of their health while working alongside qualified healthcare professionals when needed.
Beyond content creation, Vivian is committed to continuous learning and professional development within the health and social care space. This commitment strengthens her ability to communicate responsibly, ethically, and with respect for evidence-based practice. She understands the importance of balancing lifestyle guidance with medical advice and consistently encourages regular health checks, early screening, and appropriate medical care.
Vivian’s work resonates strongly with Africans in the diaspora and at home, many of whom have witnessed loved ones suffer complications from preventable or poorly managed health conditions. Her voice reflects both professional insight and lived understanding, making her content relatable, trustworthy, and impactful.
At its core, VeeVee Health is more than a platform—it is a growing community built around awareness, empowerment, and prevention. Vivian’s mission is to help people move away from crisis-driven healthcare and towards intentional, informed, and proactive living.
When she is not creating health content, Vivian continues to explore ways to expand health education through digital tools, long-form writing, and community engagement. Her long-term vision is to contribute meaningfully to reducing the burden of preventable chronic diseases by making health information accessible, culturally sensitive, and actionable.
