I used ChatGPT to jump-start my glow-up — it saved me thousands of dollars and I’m hotter than ever

This AI glow-up led to a real-life transformation.

At 25, Anastasia Eastin felt she was struggling to reach her full potential. She wanted to be more confident, healthy, energized and proud of herself, but she couldn’t afford a team of experts — so she turned to ChatGPT.

“I just hit a point where I knew I was meant for more,” Eastin told What’s The Jam.

“I wasn’t unhappy, but I felt disconnected from the version of myself I dreamed of becoming.”

Tired of feeling stuck and average, she began her journey with the popular 75 Hard challenge, a mental and physical boot camp that includes daily workouts, strict nutrition, hydration and personal development through reading.

Completing the routine sparked momentum, but she wanted to keep evolving.

“I felt like I didn’t know where to start,” Eastin said. “I loved my transformation, but thought there could be more.”

That’s when she decided to try a high-tech but free life coach: ChatGPT.

Eastin began using the AI tool to structure every area of her life.

“ChatGPT helped me create workout plans, customize meals and plan weekly schedules that actually worked for my goals and lifestyle,” she explained.

“That structure helped me build discipline, and it’s what really jump-started the shift,” she continued. “I started working out daily, eating cleaner, and taking better care of myself overall.”

Her physical transformation was just the beginning — Eastin also tapped into AI for beauty and style guidance.

From choosing a hair color that complemented her skin tone to tweaking her makeup routine and refining her wardrobe with elegant, neutral pieces, she built a look that felt elevated yet authentic.

“I’ve upgraded everything,” she said.

She estimates that using the AI tool instead of hiring personal trainers, nutritionists, stylists or life coaches has helped her save thousands.

“ChatGPT has been such a key part of my glow-up. It’s not just a tool – it’s felt like a personalized coach,” Eastin said, adding that a glow-up provides the overall ability to “reflect the best version” of a person.

“It’s not just physical; it’s emotional, spiritual and mental, too. I wanted to improve all aspects of my life, honestly. I wanted to look and feel strong physically, but also more grounded mentally, more confident emotionally, and more secure in how I show up socially,” she explained.

“I wanted the full transformation inside and out.”

Today, she’s more confident, focused and radiant than ever.

“I’m glowing in every way – fit, confident, happy and polished,” Eastin declared.

“Externally, my body is leaning out, my skin is clearer and I feel more stylish. Internally, I’m calmer, more confident and proud of who I’m becoming.”

Beyond learning new routines and techniques, Eastin has also learned to love the effort she puts into being her best self.

“I’ve stopped waiting to be ‘enough.’ I’ve learned to celebrate progress, not perfection, and I actually like the person I see in the mirror most days because I know how hard I’ve worked to get here,” she said.

“It’s still an ongoing journey.”

She hopes her transformation will inspire others to begin making positive changes in their lives.

“Don’t overthink it, just start. Even small changes can create big shifts, and if you need help figuring it out, use ChatGPT,” she said.

“You don’t have to do it all at once, but you do have to start.”
