VIOLETTA MARKELOU: EXPLORING WOMEN'S HEALTH AND BIOHACKING
Empowering Women Through Biohacking: Violetta Markelou’s Role in the sHEALed Documentary
DAVID SHUTT JULY 10 2024
Violetta recently joined Lolli Brands Entertainment alongside Colette Schnabel to cast "sHEALed", a woman's health documentary set to release on Amazon Prime 2025. This documentary is produced and directed by Anthony and TereZa Lolli and co-produced by NY Times best selling author and health expert JJ Virgin.
Bridging her visual art world with her passion for empowering others, Violetta is proud to be
on the Lolli brands team to create one of the most influential women’s health documentaries ever made.
Violetta started her biohacking journey in 2015 after reading about studies on the benefits of fasting for cancer prevention. Having witnessed her friend undergo chemotherapy in 2013 for a rare uterine cancer and losing both grandparents to various forms of cancer when she was still in high school, Violetta began educating herself on epigenetics and lifestyle modifications for disease prevention. During the 2020 pandemic, Violetta was no longer able to operate both her photography or DJ businesses for two years. During this time, she leaned on her wellness practices and her ability to make art to stay mentally and physically well.

Getting her red light therapy
As a passionate biohacker and food-as-medicine advocate, Violetta created the 'Haus of V' website to share her knowledge and experience after transforming her own health. She completed life and health coaching certifications with MindValley and Institute For Integrative Nutrition in 2021, embarking on a new career path in health and wellness. Violetta relocated to Miami in 2023 and teamed up with local biohacking enthusiast, Colette Schnabel to form ‘Futuri Femme,’ a women’s focused biohacking, health & longevity event series. The event series, scheduled to launch in January of 2025 will feature an expansive array of women’s health experts that will educate women on holistic ways to improve and maintain their health.
