Maddy Moon is a 24-year-old female with strong
convictions about sharing her message with the world. As a high
school student, Maddy was introduced to food documentaries which
changed her way of eating. She adopted vegetarianism and rapidly
dropped weight. And even though she didn’t need to lose the weight,
people started praising her for her new look. She became obsessed
with the attention she was getting and decided to work with a
trainer to prepare her for a physique competition. She has since
realized her value is more than how she looks and she wants to make
sure women have the tools to become body positive. She has written
two books and her website has become a resource for those who would
like to learn from her experiences.
