EP 11 - From $10 an Hour to #1 in the Nation: Maria Adell on Redesigning Her Life

In this episode of The Plastic Principle, Dr. John Diaz sits down with Maria Adell, the top hyperhidrosis provider in the United States, to share a story that embodies the heart of the podcast’s name: the power to reshape your life.

Maria opens up about her journey from growing up in Mexico to immigrating to the U.S. with two young children, unable to speak the language, and working $10-an-hour jobs just to keep food on the table. Through resilience, discipline, and a belief in creating her own future, she transformed every challenge into momentum—eventually becoming the most successful hyperhidrosis provider in the country.

This episode dives into her career, her mindset, the obstacles she refused to let define her, and how the principles behind plastic surgery can also guide personal transformation. It’s a conversation about grit, renewal, and what’s possible when you decide to mold your life into something greater.
