I was born in the Soviet Union (yes, I'm that old, but don't tell anyone). My family has been in the medical field for generations.

But despite my mother's best efforts to feed me wholesome foods, I struggled with my weight during puberty. Needless to say that there was a lot of dairy and meat in my diet.

My classmates made fun of my exotic looks and natural shyness, which gave birth to a plethora of insecurities. I had to change 6 schools, but the story would repeat itself :(

As a teenager, I was obsessed with the gorgeous models on TV, so I decided to fast for a week to get their look. Big mistake. Not only did I not achieve the look I wanted, but I got my first stretch marks. I was only 17. I felt like I got old before I got young.

Determined to improve my eating habits and achieve a leaner body, I started researching nutrition and discovered my own formula of beauty. I began modeling while studying economics at university, and all seemed to be going so well. But then I moved to the US to pursue my career, and everything went off the rails.

When I looked at the mirror I saw an aging woman. Not me. I was gaining weight rapidly, and no matter what I did – running, yoga, HIIT, weights, keto, fasting – nothing seemed to work. I even tried that weird diet where you only eat grapefruit (don't ask). But the more I tried, the more I gained.

My friends told me it was just aging, but I wasn't ready to accept that. I cancelled dates, skipped castings, and even avoided going out in public because I didn't want people to see me like this. Instead, I'd head to the grocery store and eat my feelings, which only made things worse.

All the insecurities I had as a teen came back. But even though I failed time and time again, I refused to give up. I spent years trying every diet, treatment, and exercise until one day, I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

It wasn't easy, but I’ve learned to celebrate the small successes instead of focusing on my imperfections. And that's when something amazing happened. My friends saw the transformation in me and started coming to me for nutrition and fitness advice. That’s when I discovered that helping others made me happier than anything else.

Watching my friends blossom under my guidance was the most rewarding thing I'd ever experienced. The last five years I have been working as a personal chef and nutritional advisor to top athletes and celebrities. I also launched my own catering company for corporate events in Los Angeles.

My mission is to share my personal eternal youth formula with millions of people in a safe space: a community where people can come together, free from judgment, and support each other on their journeys to conscious health of their bodies and minds.
