At 19, I went through an oophorectomy (ovary removal) after dealing with reproductive health issues. After that surgery, everything shifted. Hormonal imbalances, combined with a lack of structure in my diet and exercise, led to significant weight gain. By 2018, I had reached 200 lbs.
I started making changes in how I ate and my daily habits. By 2020, I lost around 60 lbs through diet alone.
However, I became too extreme. I developed an unhealthy relationship with food. I obsessed over ingredients, and ended up under-eating. I wasn’t healthy, and I dropped down to around 110 lbs. That's when I realized looking “fit” and actually being healthy are not the same thing.
About Ke'Essence
In 2022, I was introduced to boxing and strength training. Building muscle changed everything for me. Both physically and mentally. I learned how to fuel my body, not punish it. I found balance. I built discipline the right way.
Now, as a certified personal trainer, I help others avoid the same extremes I went through. My approach isn’t about quick fixes or just chasing a number on the scale.
It’s about building a strong, sustainable lifestyle that actually works for you. As well as leads you to longevity and optimal health.
