Emily is an undergraduate student at Kings College London. She is passionate about the connection between diet, lifestyle, and overall wellbeing.

Her journey into nutrition began in 2019 when she adopted a plant-based diet. Initially motivated by its benefits for animals and the planet; she quickly discovered the positive impact food could have on health.

Emily became a fully qualified yoga teacher in 2022, and while working in the wellness industry, she recognised the growing need for clear, evidence-based guidance around nutrition and lifestyle. This inspired her to begin a BSc in Nutritional Science.

Emily has a deep love for learning and is committed to continually expanding her understanding of the science behind health. In a world overwhelmed by conflicting advice and ever-changing diet trends, she is dedicated to sharing accessible, evidence-based information to help people take ownership of their health and feel their best.

Outside of her work, Emily enjoys gardening, cooking, and has recently taken up tennis and pottery.
