Jess Sepel on OCD, Healing from Disordered Eating, Grief, and Building JSHealth with Heart

In this raw and soul-stirring episode of Beautiful Inside, Jess Sepel—best-selling author, clinical nutritionist, and founder of JSHealth—opens up like never before.We go far beyond green powders and skin supplements, delving into the darker undercurrents of her story: the obsessive calorie counting, the anxiety, the panic attacks, and the intrusive thoughts that haunted her for years.Jess shares the moment her husband walked her to a dumpster to throw away her scales, the rock bottom she hit during her honeymoon, and the OCD diagnosis that finally gave a name to her suffering. She also speaks with aching honesty about losing her best friend to suicide, and the purpose that grief ignited in her life.You’ll also hear the softer, more joyful rituals that now anchor her—nightly magnesium baths, deleting Instagram at bedtime, and her love of gelato and Real Housewives.This is a conversation about being wildly successful and still deeply human, about doing the inner work, and about building a brand that nourishes from the inside out.
