A fitness influencer and YouTuber, Stephanie Buttermore, has passed away at the age of 36. Her death comes weeks after she shared her struggles with mental health on Instagram, saying she no longer struggled with anxiety.
Buttermore, known for her science-based fitness content and candid discussions about eating habits and body image, had built a large following through her educational content on nutrition and training.
In a post from May 2024, she shared how stepping away from social media dramatically improved her mental well-being, eliminating the constant pressure to measure self-worth through likes or comments.
She acknowledged that social media had some negative aspects, but overall, the pros had outweighed the cons for her. Buttermore also wrote that leaving social media made her more present in her day-to-day life, focusing on real-world experiences rather than documenting them online.
