EXTRAORDINAIRES Host Terasa Livingstone has to great honor of sitting down with OBI NDEFO - a successful actor on Star Trek, a nutritionist, yoga teacher & scriptwriter who just happens to have to recently become a double 'AK' (Above the Knee) amputee.
This episode is part of EXTRAORDINAIRES "S*#@ they don't teach you" playlist - Trying to answer the question of "How do you survive losing your life, when you havn't even died?"
Obi Ndefo definitely has some inspirational thoughts and maybe even solutions to this question & many more. This man is a Prophet! A true Sage.
We talk about how he credits his raw vegan diet to saving his life. How he chose to not take any pain medication only 3 days after he lost both is legs. Why he chose probiotics instead of antibiotics. We talk about eating disorders, addiction, depression, suffering anxiety and how it's OK to ask for help.
On happier notes we are amazed by his adaption of his yoga poses, his practice of mindfulness & his unwavering faith in the power of LOVE to help him heal through this ordeal. Just to hear him talk so positively about his traumatic experience gives me hope I can overcome anything! After our talk I truly feel as if nothing is insurmountable and the TIME IS NOW to take on everything thats been holding me back!.
There are gems in here for all of us to hear. As he said "Never forget, there is always a through line to your recovery from anything"
I hope you enjoy this wonderfully moving conversation with OBI NDEFO as much as we did.
Please consider donating to Obi's GoFundMe page - so he can get some new legs
