Episode 8: Eve Simmons

In this episode we sat down with the amazing Eve Simmons, Deputy Health Editor of the Mail on Sunday, Co-Author of ‘Eat It Anyway’ and the co-founder of NotPlantBased.com. Eve shared with us her struggles in her early 20s and how the pressure to look a certain way at work lead to a serious battle with anorexia. She explains the psychological effects of the illness, her recovery and how so much more needs to be done to prevent people from succumbing to every day triggers. After overcoming the illness, Eve has used her experiences to educate people on the importance of having a healthy relationship with food and how a lot of misinformation and diet fads is potentially eroding both our physical and mental well-being. Across her portfolio of work, Eve talks to leading dieticians and experts to debunk the pseudo science and outdated research we’re over exposed to every day. Her message is to simply fall in love with food again and eat what you like! We learned a great deal from this episode and we think you’ll get so much value from Eve’s story. Enjoy! You can find Eve on Instagram @eviesimm and read all her content on NotPlantBased.com and the Mail on Sunday. Her book ‘Eat It Anyway’ is available to buy on Amazon now. CC
