"Emily English's path to becoming a nutritionist began with her teenage modelling career. At age 17, a derogatory comment on her body triggered an eating disorder and subsequent therapy. She quit the industry and went on to study nutrition at King's College London. During the Covid lockdown, English posted a video showing what she eats in a day. It went viral, gaining millions of views."
