My Story / Why I started NextSelf:
My wellness journey started from struggling deeply with body image and an unhealthy relationship with food.
At 15, I developed an eating disorder because it felt like the only way I could lose weight and achieve the appearance I wanted. For years, I struggled with anorexia, binge eating, over-exercising, and feeling ashamed because from the outside I looked “healthy,” while behind closed doors I was exhausted physically and mentally.
By 20, despite constantly training and eating “clean,” I still felt inflamed, hormonally imbalanced, and disconnected from my body.
While studying pre-med, I became deeply interested in inflammation, metabolism, hormones, and women’s health — which ultimately led me to peptide science.
Peptides completely changed the way I viewed wellness and healing from the inside out, and now my mission is to help other women better understand their bodies and feel empowered in their own wellness journeys ✨
