Rachelle Wood grew up in rural Prince Edward Island where her family operated a small fish farm. Throughout her teenage years Rachelle watched her mother suffer from heart disease and other medical conditions. Rachelle was diagnosed with high cholesterol when she was 14 years old, and knew her genetic make-up favoured the likelihood of developing heart disease. As a teenager, Rachelle worked at Mc Donald's and quite frequently over indulged in fast food. She began to binge eat to deal with her suppressed emotions, and watched her weight increase to almost 250 pounds.
