As I started eating more natural foods and thinking about what I was putting into my body, I became more interested in what I was putting on it, too. ”

Social media is incredible: it creates a community that I'm really proud to be a part of, but it also creates illusions and a false reality, and it's difficult to grow up with that. ”

Stay true to yourself, engage with your followers, and ignore the critics. ”

Food was a big part of our family gatherings, but it was usually pasta. We didn't eat that well. Everything was home-made but not much veg or fruit. ”

If you have a large family like ours, you have to fight to get your point across, and I think I learned that from my dad. ”

My main aim is to change our perception of how we look at vegetables because I think vegetables have always been put on the side - it's always been your steamed broccoli or boiled broccoli with your meat. ”

My problem with the word 'clean' is that it has become too complicated. It has become too loaded. When I first read the term, it meant natural, unprocessed. Now it doesn't mean that at all. It means diet. It means fad. ”

My whole thing isn't about being vegan, to be honest. It's more about a more natural diet. ”

Eating a natural diet with loads of fresh fruit and veg and little processed food helps me manage the symptoms of my illness. ”

If you're struggling with that sweet tooth, try making healthy sugar swaps using things like honey, maple syrup, and medjool dates. These are all completely natural and will satisfy any sweet cravings. ”
