About Maya Carter
Hi, I’m Maya. I read the fine print.
My Story
I’m 32, I rent a one-bedroom in Kitsilano, Vancouver, and I spent most of my twenties running on caffeine, takeout, and a marketing job that had me answering Slack at 11pm. At 29, I hit a wall – constant bloating, 3pm crashes, skin that looked as tired as I felt.
And instead of a dramatic transformation montage, I did something boring: I slowed down. Morning walks instead of doomscrolling. Actual breakfast. And I started reading ingredient labels instead of believing whatever was printed on the front of the package.
My friends kept asking what changed, so I started posting. No before-and-after photos. No ‘I lost 30 pounds’ story. Just a woman in Vancouver figuring out wellness in real time – rain and all.
Somewhere along the way, the DMs shifted from ‘what’s your morning routine?’ to ‘is this supplement legit?’ – and Honest Vitality was born.

- Research-first, wellness-always – evidence over hype
