When a modelling agent told Emily English to slim down, it triggered an eating disorder that stole years of her life. But what followed was a radical transformation - from obsessive calorie-counting to becoming one of the UK’s most influential nutritionists, with over 2.5 million followers. In this powerful episode, Emily opens up about her recovery, her no-nonsense approach to food, why joy and connection matter just as much as nutrients, and how she built a wellness empire rooted in empathy. Expect chat about walking as a miracle movement, budget-friendly meals, the truth about oat milk, and the supplement she swears by. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
