A TRIBUTE TO DR. VICTORIA MURIEL

It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of shock that Hawi Global Foundation mourns the tragic and untimely passing of our dear friend, colleague, and humanitarian, Dr. Victoria Muriel.

Dr. Victoria was a remarkable professional whose compassion extended far beyond the walls of her office. She was instrumental in supporting Hawi Global Foundation’s medical camps in Nairobi, giving her time, expertise, and heart to communities in need.

Her contribution became even more profound during the Sinai fire tragedy, when she selflessly offered pro bono counselling and psychosocial support to victims and survivors. Some of these sessions were conducted at her office, while others were provided at Kibera Health Centre. Through her service, she helped people navigate unimaginable pain and trauma at a time when they needed compassion and hope the most.

For Hawi Global Foundation, Dr. Victoria was not simply a partner in our work. She was a friend, a compassionate professional, and a person who believed in restoring dignity and hope to those who were suffering.

We are devastated by the circumstances surrounding her death. Her life was dedicated to helping others, and it is deeply painful that she was taken from this world in such a tragic manner.

We join her family, friends, colleagues, and the wider community in mourning this tremendous loss. We call upon the relevant authorities to ensure that the circumstances surrounding her death are thoroughly investigated and that justice is served. Her family deserves truth, accountability, and justice.

As Hawi Global Foundation, we will remember Dr. Victoria for her kindness, her service, her courage, and the lives she touched.

May her soul rest in eternal peace.

To her family: May God grant you strength, comfort, and peace during this incredibly difficult time. May you find solace in knowing that Victoria’s life made a difference and that her legacy of compassion and service will not be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Dr. Victoria Muriel. Your light will continue to shine through the lives you touched.

DID YOU KNOW? INSULIN RESISTANCE CAN BE REVERSED.

or significantly improved.

They told you ,you are pre diabetic or diabetic.Come here.

But the biggest question most people are never told is this:

Why do the cells stop responding to insulin in the first place?

The answer is chronic cellular inflammation — and one of the biggest drivers is the gut.

Most people think Type 2 diabetes starts with sugar.
Wrong.

It starts when the body’s cells become inflamed and stop listening to insulin properly. The pancreas then compensates by producing more and more insulin until the system begins failing.

So if you truly want to reverse insulin resistance, you must reduce the inflammation driving the resistance while lowering the insulin demand on the body.

Here is the strategy:

1. REMOVE THE TWO BIGGEST INSULIN SPIKES

The first intervention should happen before medication.

Remove:
• refined carbohydrates
• liquid sugar

That includes:
• soda
• fruit juice
• sweetened coffee drinks
• excessive alcohol
• processed sugary foods

These rapidly spike blood sugar and force repeated insulin surges.

Every repeated insulin spike accelerates insulin receptor desensitization,meaning the cells gradually stop responding properly to insulin.

Once you reduce these spikes consistently, receptor sensitivity can begin improving within weeks.

2. WALK FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER MEALS

This is one of the most powerful and underused metabolic interventions.

Walking activates GLUT-4 transporters — glucose entry channels in muscle cells that can pull sugar from the bloodstream independently of insulin.

In simple language:
Your muscles start clearing sugar from the blood without heavily depending on insulin.

This reduces post-meal glucose spikes and lowers the insulin burden that keeps driving resistance.

Even a short walk after meals can significantly improve blood sugar control.

3. FIX THE GUT INFLAMMATION DRIVING THE RESISTANCE

This is the part many people miss.

The gut is not just for digestion.
It is one of the body’s largest immune and inflammatory control centers.

When the gut lining becomes damaged or inflamed, substances called LPS endotoxins from certain gut bacteria can leak into the bloodstream.

These inflammatory molecules interfere directly with insulin signaling at the cellular level.

In simple language:
The cells become inflamed and stop hearing insulin properly.

You cannot fully improve insulin resistance while continuing to fuel the inflammation driving it.

To repair the gut environment:
• remove processed inflammatory foods
• increase fiber
• improve sleep
• reduce alcohol
• improve movement
• reduce excess sugar intake

Take L-glutamine.This is commonly used to support gut lining repair because intestinal cells use it as a major fuel source.

4. BUILD MUSCLE STRATEGICALLY

Muscle is a glucose storage organ.

The more healthy muscle you build, the greater your body’s capacity to remove glucose from the bloodstream.

Resistance training improves insulin sensitivity both during exercise and long after.

You do not need a gym.

Body-weight squats.
Push-ups.
Resistance bands.
Walking uphill.

Focus especially on large muscle groups 2–3 times weekly.

5. ADD THE MOST EVIDENCE-BACKED INSULIN SENSITIZERS

Certain supplements can support insulin signaling when combined with lifestyle correction:

• Berberine 500 mg with meals
• Magnesium glycinate 400 mg daily
• Alpha lipoic acid 600 mg daily

Berberine helps improve insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation.

Magnesium deficiency commonly coexists with insulin resistance because magnesium is required for proper insulin signaling.

Alpha lipoic acid helps reduce oxidative stress and improve cellular insulin response.

If these interventions are done consistently and concurrently — not separately — many people begin seeing measurable improvements in energy, glucose control, weight, and HbA1c within 60–90 days.

Insulin resistance is not simply a sugar problem.

It is an inflammation, movement, muscle, gut, and metabolic signaling problem.

Hello, my name is Sidhe Robert, CEO of Hawi Global Foundation—HGF. I am a Mandela Washington Fellow and a Presidential Precinct Fellow.

What we are building is not just a clinic,it is a completely new model of healthcare.

At HGF, through our in-house facility, ST. AOKO MEDICAL CENTRE , we are introducing a first-of-its-kind system where patients are not just recipients of care—they are owners of the system itself.

Here is what makes us different:

In our model, patients contribute into the system, and instead of profits going to external owners, those profits are reinvested back to the patients. This means the same system that treats you is the one helping pay for your health insurance, covering your premiums, and even generating dividends for you.

Beyond that, patients are able to invest these benefits through our platform, TibaFaida—turning healthcare from a cost burden into a financial empowerment tool.

This is a shift from “paying for healthcare” to “owning your healthcare.”

Right now, we are at a critical stage of implementing this system.

Our facility has already undergone inspection, and we paid for our license on March 20th. However, the license has not yet been issued. This delay means insurance companies cannot accredit us, and without that, full system integration is stalled.

To continue serving the community, we are currently offering discounted care packages, but this has come at a cost. Every month, my brother and I are contributing about 300,000 Kenyan shillings—approximately 2,000 US dollars—from our own pockets just to sustain operations. This is a heavy burden, but we remain committed.

The good news is that we recently received our IRS tax-exempt determination. This opens the door for us to seek grants, partnerships, and donations to scale this model and make it sustainable.

To our community around Othoro—we are here for you. We encourage you to continue visiting St. Aoko Medical Centre for your care. And to partners and supporters—this is an opportunity to be part of a truly transformative healthcare model.

We are not just building a facility. We are building a system where healthcare works for the people—and belongs to the people.

ALL DONATIONS GIVEN TO US ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE

Thank you.

Healthcare in many communities is broken.

• People pay out of pocket
• Insurance is misused or unavailable
• Patients have no ownership
• Systems reward volume, not outcomes

This leads to one thing: Patients remain vulnerable.

At St Aoko Medical Centre We are building something different.

A system where healthcare works for the people, not just on the people.

Tomorrow, we show you how.

29/04/2026

For years, we have done medical camps.

We treated patients.
We gave medicine.
We helped where we could.

But we asked ourselves a hard question:

👉 What happens after the camp ends?

The truth is — the problem remains.

So we are making a bold shift.

We are moving from temporary solutions to building a permanent, patient-centered healthcare system at St. Aoko Medical Centre in Othoro.

This is not just treatment.
This is transformation.

Follow our journey this week as we show you what we are building.

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A MAJOR MILESTONE

Hawi Global Foundation is now officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization in the United States.

This means all eligible donations are now tax-deductible, and we are fully positioned to partner with global funders, institutions, and individuals to expand access to healthcare.

Our focus is clear:

We are implementing a patient-owned, digitally enabled healthcare ecosystem at St. Aoko Medical Centre in Othoro, Kenya—designed to transform how care is financed, delivered, and sustained.

This model:
• Gives patients ownership in their healthcare system
• Reinvests value back into the community
• Uses technology to improve care quality and reduce inefficiencies

This is more than healthcare delivery—it is health system transformation at the community level.

With our tax-exempt status secured, we are now actively engaging partners and funders to support the next phase of implementation.

If you are interested in supporting or collaborating, we welcome the conversation.

DIABETES AND WHAT TO EAT SIMPLIFIED

We are going to teach about Diabetes Mellitus clearly and directly.

First, remember these key terms:
FBS, RBS, HbA1c,
Acetyl-CoA-(material that Krebs cycles uses)
Krebs cycle -(the factory that manufactures energy
ATP-The energy the body uses made by Krebs Cycle

1. What is Diabetes Mellitus?

Diabetes is a condition where your body cannot control blood sugar properly because of a problem with insulin.
• Insulin is produced by the pancreas
• Its job is to push sugar from blood into the cells

If this fails → sugar remains in the blood

2. Normal vs Pre-diabetes vs Diabetes

FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar):
• Normal: < 100 mg/dL
• Pre-diabetes: 100 – 125 mg/dL
• Diabetes: ≥ 126 mg/dL

RBS (Random Blood Sugar):Blood sugar in your blood within 2hrs after eating
• Normal: < 140 mg/dL
• Pre-diabetes: 140 – 199 mg/dL
• Diabetes: ≥ 200 mg/dL

HbA1c (3-month average):
• Normal: < 5.7%
• Pre-diabetes: 5.7 – 6.4%
• Diabetes: ≥ 6.5%

3. How the Body Uses Sugar

When you eat:
• Food → broken down into glucose
• Glucose enters blood
• Insulin is released
• Insulin tells cells: “Take in this sugar”
If cells respond → insulin sensitive (normal)

4. What is Insulin Resistance?

When cells stop responding to insulin → insulin resistance
• Sugar cannot enter cells
• Sugar remains in blood
If many cells become resistant → you become pre-diabetic or diabetic

5. What Happens Next.-This is Very Important

Because sugar is not entering cells:
• Cells lack energy
• Your Brain thinks the body is starving

So the body does this:
It tells the Liver to releases more sugar into the blood
• And the liver can release up to 200g of sugar per day

Now you have:
• Sugar from food
• Sugar from liver

This therefore causes the blood sugar to rise even more

That is why some people wake up with high sugar (e.g., 190 mg/dL) before eating

6. Energy Production.I want you to Understand This Well.

Inside the cell:

Food->Glucose——-> AcetylCoA ———>Krebs Cycle ————-> ATP
• Acetyl-CoA = central molecule(This is the raw material that Kreb cycle knows and uses)
• Krebs cycle = energy factory
• ATP = actual energy that the body uses
It is important to note that:

The body can ALSO make Acetyl-CoA from fat

And that I have just highlighted chosen to highlight specific areas of energy production process relevant to this teaching,otherwise the process is complex

7. Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes
• Common in children
• ~5–10%
• Body produces no insulin

Type 2 Diabetes
• ~90–95%
• Body has insulin but cannot use it well (insulin resistance)

8. Backup System (Fat Burning)

When sugar cannot enter cells because of resistance.The body resort to backup storage.
• Body burns fat
• Fat → Acetyl-CoA → ATP

This is an oxidative process meaning it requires oxygen
If excessive → can produce ketones (dangerous if uncontrolled)
This causes keto acidosis which is common in diabetic case including in form of a medical emergency.

9. What Should You Eat?
Since you understand the metabolism of sugar in your body and how diabetes form.What foods should you eat if you are diabetic?

And you Now you understand that anything that raises blood sugar too fast is a problem.

Eat more of:
• Protein (eggs, fish, beans)
• Healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil)
• Vegetables (especially green vegetables, cucumber,my personal advise is include cucumber and okra in your daily meal

These slow digestion and cause slow release of sugar into blood

Reduce:
• Sugar
• White bread
• Processed carbohydrates

10. Treatment – Metformin
When you come to the hospital to see a doctor,we give you Metformin which is the first line treatment for type 2 DM

Metformin works by:
• Reducing sugar production from the liver
• Improving insulin sensitivity
• Slightly reducing sugar absorption

Therefore prevents the liver from adding more sugar into the blood

Final Message

Diabetes is not just about sugar intake.
It is about how your body handles sugar.
• Sugar stays in blood
• Cells starve
• Liver adds more sugar
• Body shifts to fat metabolism

That is the disease process

If you understand this, you will manage diabetes better than most people.

Ask questions.And for my consultation fee.Pay it forward by helping the needy next to you.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUR AGENDA

To move from conduction medical camps to setting up sustainable medical centers that are responsive to the healthcare gaps in the community

Today though our inhouse facilty Elizabeth Aoko Memorial Medical Centre,we are piloting a healthcare ecosystem that will make care free and have and our patients be stakeholders via co ownership rather than just being consumers.

The system is proprietary and we cant discuss the technical aspects at this time

The entire intergration of the system will take us 8months

So help us God
