Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Dr. Akande witnessed firsthand the gaps in traditional healthcare—patients dismissed, symptoms masked rather than resolved, and a system designed for acute care struggling to address the complexity of modern chronic disease. This ignited a passion that would shape his entire professional journey.
A Journey of Discovery
After completing his medical degree with honors, Dr. Akande pursued advanced training in functional and integrative medicine at leading institutions across the United States and Europe. He became board certified in integrative medicine and earned fellowship status with the American College of Physicians, solidifying his expertise in bridging conventional medical science with holistic healing modalities.But credentials alone were never the goal. Dr. Akande sought to understand the intricate web of factors—genetics, environment, nutrition, stress, sleep, and lifestyle—that influence human health. He trained under pioneers in functional medicine, studied advanced diagnostic techniques, and immersed himself in the science of longevity and metabolic optimization.
Bringing World-Class Care Home
In 2018, Dr. Akande returned to Nigeria with a vision: to establish a practice that would rival the best integrative medicine clinics in the world, right here on African soil. Harmony 360 Health was born from this vision—a sanctuary where patients are heard, where advanced diagnostics meet compassionate care, and where healing is personalized to the individual, not the diagnosis.Today, Dr. Akande serves as the lead physician and founder of Harmony 360 Health. His practice attracts patients from across Nigeria and beyond—executives, athletes, families, and individuals who have been let down by conventional approaches and are seeking a partner in their health journey, not just a prescriber.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Akande is a sought-after speaker, educator, and advocate for integrative health policy reform. He believes that optimal health is a fundamental human right and works tirelessly to make advanced, personalized care accessible to all.

Core Clinical Principles
Root-Cause Investigation
We don't just treat symptoms. We use advanced diagnostics and comprehensive patient histories to identify and address the underlying drivers of disease.

Evidence-Based Innovation
Every intervention is grounded in peer-reviewed science. We stay at the forefront of medical research to offer cutting-edge, validated therapies.
Systems-Based Thinking
The body is an interconnected whole. We examine how your gut, hormones, immune system, and lifestyle interact to create health or disease.
