Looking Beyond Products

Working at Stellar Labs exposed a gap between how wellness is marketed and how health is actually lived. Many wellness products assume stability, disposable income, and time, while ignoring the barriers that shape real choices around food and nutrition.

Seeing this contrast firsthand pushed me to think critically about nutrition as a systems issue rather than an individual responsibility.

This perspective now informs how I approach health, prevention, and public-facing communication.
