Dr. I. Fortune Glavee, an innovative Dental Surgeon with over 28 years of experience, was used to seeing all kinds of dental cases. But one day, something struck her deeply—a rising number of children were being put to sleep for tooth extractions due to severe decay. These procedures were not only painful and expensive but also completely preventable. The culprit? Too much sugar and poor nutrition.
As a participant in the YouTube Accelerator Program, Dr. Glavee was already passionate about educating families on dental health and prevention. She knew that teaching better oral hygiene was only part of the solution—the real change needed to happen at home, in the kitchen.
Looking back at history, Dr. Glavee discovered something fascinating: during World War II, when sugar was rationed, tooth decay rates dropped significantly.
Why? Because families were forced to cook from scratch using wholesome, natural ingredients. This was the missing link—what we eat directly impacts our dental and overall health.
Determined to make a difference, Dr. Glavee created 10 Pound Challenges, a community-driven movement that challenges families to:
By making home cooking affordable, accessible, and fun, families could save money, eat better, and protect their smiles—all at the same time.
At 10 Pound Challenges, we believe that dental prevention starts in the kitchen—and we have a dedicated team working to bring this vision to life.
Dr. I. Fortune Glavee is the driving force behind the project. She develops the core ideas based on her expertise in dental prevention and the belief that healthy eating leads to healthier teeth. She also films educational content and uses artificial intelligence to create engaging and informative materials for families.
Together, we combine health expertise, technology, and creativity to build a community-driven platform that helps families to cook nutritious meals, save money, and protect their smiles—one meal at a time.
