A Note from Pacha Ngandu

"Hi, my name is Pacha Ngandu and I want to tell you my story. I never knew that we all have addictions, but we just don't acknowledge them—and it caused chaos in my life."

"I actually had a few addictions: smoking cigarettes, vaping, workaholism, and food. You heard me correctly—food can be an addiction. I was chasing the feeling food gave me, regardless of nourishment. The result? I reached 112kg, diagnosed with chronic high blood pressure, and was pre-diabetic."

"It took me 10 years to rid myself of these addictions and reverse my conditions. Today, at 49, I am medication-free and handle my life well. I don't want you to take 10 years to learn what I know. I encourage you to use these tools now to recover from whatever you feel needs to be worked on."

The "Roots vs. Leaves" Philosophy

The Leaves (Symptoms)

Alcohol, Sugar, Gambling, Rage, Social Media. We try to cut these off using willpower, but if the root remains, they just grow back or shift to a new leaf.

The Roots (Causes)

1. Metabolic: Blood sugar crashes.
2. Hormonal: High Cortisol (Fight/Flight).
3. Psychological: The need to numb an overworked mind.
