Clinical Expertise Meets Clear Communication
Chikaodili Frances Ozojie, MPH, RD, is a Lead Critical Care Dietitian based in the United Kingdom with 15+ years of continuous clinical experience. Her work focuses on translating complex metabolic physiology into accessible clinical understanding, particularly in the areas of chronic dieting, metabolic adaptation, and recovery.
Through her writing and clinical essays, she examines how energy availability, hormonal regulation, and behavioral adaptation shape long-term metabolic outcomes, offering a physiology-first perspective that challenges simplified weight-loss narratives. Registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and a member of the British Dietetic Association, Chika holds a Master's degree in Public Health (MPH).

Writing from the Clinical Front Lines
Having practiced since 2010, Chika has witnessed the rise of diet culture and its collision with human biology. Writing from the clinical front lines, she strips away marketing narratives and moral judgments to examine how the body adapts to chronic energy restriction—and why those adaptations are so often misinterpreted as personal failure.
Her approach is grounded in rigorous science, but written for real people. Rather than perpetuating myths about willpower and discipline, Chika's work illuminates the biological mechanisms that drive metabolic adaptation and weight regain.
Why Chika's Perspective Matters
Clinical Reality vs. Diet Culture Myths
Working in critical care, Chika sees firsthand how the body responds to extreme stress and metabolic challenges. This clinical perspective informs her understanding of how chronic dieting creates similar physiological responses—responses that are often blamed on personal failure rather than recognized as biological adaptation.
Translating Science into Understanding
Complex metabolic physiology can feel abstract and distant. Chika's gift is making it tangible—explaining what's happening in your body in terms that make sense and feel validating. Her work removes shame and replaces it with understanding.
Evidence-Based Solutions
Rather than offering quick fixes or restrictive protocols, Chika's work is grounded in peer-reviewed research and clinical experience. She provides readers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their own health and weight management.
