An illness caused one Gold Coast lawyer to give up her beloved job, but it also gave her the opportunity to find something equally as meaningful. Because of her health struggles, she has been taking her health and fitness very seriously, and she started a lucrative business in the process.

Endometriosis causes the sufferer to experience extreme pain. It is a condition that exists within the uterus, and Charlie Ercan was diagnosed with the condition in 2014. According to news.com.au, one in 10 women have been diagnosed with this condition.

Side effects and symptoms that this condition causes are the reason that many women are forced to give up their careers. This is what happened to Ms. Ercan. She was taking so much time off that she found it impossible to do her work. Today, she is on Forbes 30 Under 30 list.


Ms. Ercan suspected that her diet was a large part of the reason that she was suffering from endometriosis, so she began to research everything she could about health and wellness, and she hit the jackpot. She founded Unique Muscle, an online health store.

After she no longer had an income, she was forced to move in with her grandmother. Then, she and Daniel Papanikolaou went to the library and started Unique Muscle. The products that Unique Muscle sells were created to nourish and care for the body using vegan and natural ingredients.

The point is not to lose weight with these products; it is to learn which foods are right for someone suffering from endometriosis.

Ms. Ercan says that there isn’t one solution for every problem out there, so she makes sure that she sells several types of products that can solve several different problems. She has solutions for the skin, the nails, the hair, the gut and general wellness.

The product that Unique Muscle sells more than any other is “Unicorn Water.” It contains acetyl-L-carnitine that metabolizes fat naturally so that the body can use stored fat as an energy source while people are working out.


Unicorn Water went viral. Ms. Ercan hasn’t been able to keep the water in stock because it keeps selling out. Even though they had 20,000 bottles, it was impossible to keep from selling the last one.

Ms. Ercan has been branching out into other areas, and one of those is her new brownie mix. It makes brownies that allow people to eat them without experiencing any guilt because they are vegan and free of gluten. These brownies do not suffer from the curse of other vegan brownies because Ms. Ercan spent two years creating them, so they are really good.

Approximately 700,000 women and girls in Australia have been diagnosed with endometriosis, and Ms. Ercan has more than 21,000 followers on her websites that focus on this condition. Ms. Ercan is grateful for the awareness that she is bringing to this condition because many women may be suffering, but they don’t know what is causing it.

Women with this condition complain of “brain fog,” back pain, vomiting, pain, fatigue and pelvic pain. It doesn’t have a cure, but symptoms can be relieved by making dietary changes. The free guide that Ms. Ercan uploaded to the internet helped many women live with the malady, and she believes that it may help you too.
