The story
From engineer to nutritionist
Selen didn't set out to become a nutritionist. She trained as a computer engineer. The method that thousands of women now follow began as a problem she was trying to solve for one person — herself.
She grew up in Turkey's Mediterranean region, on fresh, whole, simple food. Then, at twenty-one, she moved to the United States to study — and the standard Western diet took a real toll. She gained weight quickly, her digestion fell apart, and her confidence went with it.
So she did what everyone is told to do: cut carbs, skip meals, count calories. The harder she restricted, the worse she felt. That was the moment it clicked — the conventional advice wasn't just failing her, it was making things worse.
She went back to the one thing she knew how to do: she treated her body like a system to be understood, not a problem to be punished. Instead of cutting things out, she focused on balancing pH, calming inflammation, and supporting digestion with alkaline and Mediterranean principles. Within two months she lost thirty pounds, her energy returned, and the gut issues that had followed her for years disappeared.
"My engineering background became my biggest asset. I approach wellness like coding — with strategy, data, and systems that actually work."

So she left engineering behind — and built the method into a practice that has now reached more than ten thousand women. Read the full story →
