Behind JSHealth: Jessica Sepel on Bootstrapping, Vitamins & Protecting Women's Trust

Rochelle Humes sits down with JSHealth founder, Jessica Sepel, to unpack her experience of diet culture and how it failed an entire generation of women. She built JSHealth to offer women access to nutrition in a healthy way. From her first experience with nutrition to building a global, female-first supplement company without investment, Jessica shares the untold story behind the brand that put women's health first.

This conversation covers the real work behind building a brand that puts quality first. We cover everything from ingredients, building a community of trusted women and what she’s learnt about leading a growing team.

In this episode, we cover:

Jessica's first experience with nutrition, how diet culture failed women and teenagers, and where JSHealth was rooted from
Starting JSHealth as a first-to-market, female-first vitamin company, bootstrapped from day one with no investors
Generating hype, protecting customer trust in an unregulated industry, and enforcing quality control from the start
Developing the skills to lead, setting boundaries as a founder, and the morning and evening routines that keep her grounded
The evolution of science for women's health and Jessica's financial advice for founders

If you've ever felt let down by the wellness industry, this one's for you.
