A medical student using his own failure experience for the betterment of life of others, story of Zachery Dereniowski
Zachery Dereniowski, a medical student whose purpose of life is to empower others. The 27-year-old is exploring the world, discovering his passion and is using his own life experiences for the betterment of others. In his words, “I think life is not about you or me. I think life is about the footprint we leave in bettering the lives of others.”
Zachery who is born in Windsor, ON Canada, is a medical student at the University of Sydney in Australia pursuing the Post-Graduate Doctor of Medicine Program. He pursued Bachelor of Human Kinetics from the University of Windsor, Windsor, ON and Post-Baccalaureate in Pre-Medical Studies from Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, MI.
A dual U.S. and Canadian citizen, he has experienced the life of a busy border city and observed the difference between basic health care facilities provided. In Canada, the facilities are affordable but are not easily accessible whereas it is the other way around in the US.
Inspired by Kobe Bryant, he has a keen interest in playing basketball and loves staying active, the outdoors, and working out. He considers himself a scary movie buff. He indulges himself in spontaneous road trips. He says after exploring the natural beauty of New Zealand, it is his favourite holiday destination.
We all have our share of struggles. So does he. It was difficult for him to score well on the MCAT and get into a extremely competitive medical program after he underachieved in college. In the first year of college he scored 0.59 GPA, as a result, he was Required to Withdraw from the Biochemistry program. He pumped inspiration in himself with this failure and several lessons learnt. He completed his studies and scored a 4.0 GPA over his last 9 consecutive semesters and over 510 in MCAT in his first attempt.
Zachery is now a motivational speaker. He has been working as an MCAT tutor and wants to continue to help educate, empower, and mentor-driven students wanting to maximize their MCAT scores.
At present, he is creating content to empower people, especially once who are suffering from mental health issues. He is one of TikTok’s top mental health advocates with over 400K followers. He has been interviewed by the Sydney Herald regarding his platform and giving those facing mental health issues a voice. He wants to continue to spread awareness and wants to tell people that they are not alone and worthy of a better life. He looks forward to supporting people and educating them for using their voice for the betterment of their lives.

Crafting a Greener Glow: Alternative Therapies’ Sustainable Skincare Revolution

Sustainability is an ongoing theme in a world that finally answers the environment’s call to action. From toning down single-use plastics to making subtle yet powerful lifestyle changes, modern society means business when it comes to the green revolution.
The skincare industry, in particular, is pitching in by resorting to clean beauty. From Greece to the Netherlands, Amalia Pavlidou stumbled upon a revelation. As she browsed rows of natural products, the idea for Alternative Therapies began to take shape—a skincare line rooted in nature, yet forward-thinking in science.
The Evolution of a Conscious Skincare Movement
As consumers demand more transparency in their beauty routines, the natural and vegan skincare market is booming. Alternative Therapies finds itself at the heart of this eco-conscious shift.
“When we started, it was not just about creating products—it was about driving a movement that would help put the world on track toward healing,” says Amalia Pavlidou. “I wanted to prove that luxury and sustainability can coexist without canceling each other out.”
This philosophy shines through in every detail, from the company’s recyclable glass packaging to its commitment to avoiding harmful chemicals like parabens and sulfates. One of the flagship products, the vitamin C serum, is a true reflection of this concept, blending 2% natural Vitamin C, ferulic acid, and sea-buckthorn to deliver both radiant skin and a clean conscience.
Alternative Therapies, once a small player, has utilized this trend, entering the competitive U.S. market this year. “There is a deep-rooted connection between nature and self-care in Greek culture,” explains Pavlidou. “We are bringing that tradition to the global stage, blending it with progressive science.”
The Rise of Eco-Beauty
Amalia Pavlidou’s plan for progress in the industry—one where luxury does not compromise ethics—has attracted a growing community of supporters. As Alternative Therapies expands its presence in the U.S., it remains grounded in its mission to redefine beauty standards.
“When I started this, I was hoping to do more than simply build a business—I wanted to build a legacy,” reflects Pavlidou. “Apart from looking good, beauty should be about feeling good and doing good.”
Now the question is not whether the beauty industry will embrace sustainability—it is how quickly it can catch up with pioneers like Alternative Therapies taking the reins. With its commitment to changing the world with mild ingredients, the brand is crafting a greener glow, lighting the way for a more conscious industry. To that effect, it is evident that luxury and beauty can be synonymous.
