"I Wanted to Encourage a Conversation Around Nutrition in the Modelling Industry"

BY Orla Hayes for Natural Way Magazine

What nutritional advice would a fashion model give?

We caught up with the gorgeous Sarah Ann Macklin who is a qualified nutritionist and fashion model.

She has great ambitions for nutrition, having founded the non-profit organisation, Be Well Collective (bewellcollective.co.uk) which aims to improve the nutritional and wellbeing of fashion models.

She’s also recently launched The Great British Veg Out campaign (sarahannmacklin.com/gbvo) which challenges Brits to eat more fruit and vegetables.

It was at that point that I began to question where their (and my) support system was.
