My Favourite Accounts & Blogs
Last week I shared 5 steps to help you navigate safely through "wellness" on social media, so this week it seemed fitting to share some of my favourite accounts and blogs online.
I used the steps explained last week to improve my relationship with social media and for me, diversifying my timeline/feeds was the most important!
Now I follow a huge variety of accounts, so I'm sure you will find at least one new account that you will love too.
Nutrition Professionals:
Of course, I follow lots of other nutritionists and dietitians! I'm sharing my current favourites from around the world.
Laura Thomas- anti-diet registered nutritionist @laurathomasphd on social. Be sure to check out her podcast Don't Salt My Game.
Pixie Turner- AKA Plant Based Pixie, also a registered associate nutritionist and author of The Wellness Rebel, @plantbased_pixie on social.
Fiona Sutherland- AKA the Mindful Dietitian. Her account is full of non-diet and mindful eating and living advice. Find her @themindfuldietitian.
Haley Goodrich- registered dietitian who promotes HAES and intuitive eating, and has great insights for nutrition professionals. She's @hgoodrichrd on social.
Kylie Mitchell- registered dietitian, new Mam and watercolour artist. I love her content! @immaeatthat on social!
Jennifer Rollin- registered dietitian specialising in eating disorder recovery. Find her @jennifer_rollin!
Charlotte Stirling-Reed- registered nutritionist. Charlotte specialises in infant and child nutrition and has been sharing her weaning journey with her little boy over the last few months (which I'm kinda obsessed with). She also started a business called Little Foodies, check them out for lots of useful resources @littlefoodieorg. Find Charlotte @sr_nutrition.
Body Positivity & Diversity:
My feed contains lots of bodies and yours should too! Following people who have different bodies to mine, gives me an insight into the experiences that come with different body types/sizes/colours etc.
Megan Jayne Crabbe- author of Body Positive Power and all around lovely human. @bodyposipanda.
Michelle Elman- Michelle has an amazing story that led her to body positivity, which we will hopefully hear more about in her book "Am I Ugly?" (releases in July). Michelle has two accounts- @scarrednotscared, all about BOPO, and @bodypositivememes, which edits memes to be more bodypositive. Highly recommend checking her out!
Bryony Gordon- You may have seen her running the London Marathon in her knickers earlier this year! Bryony is an author, columnist, founder of @mentalhealthmates and loads more. Her account is honest and real-life, @bryonygordon.
Plus- Follow @effyourbeautystandards to fill your timeline with all kinds of beautiful bodies!
Scientists & other healthcare professionals:
Scientists and healthcare professionals are increasingly present on social media- these are a few that post interesting content.

James Wong- James is a botanist and his posts focus on food crops. He engages heavily with followers and is always involved in great convos. @Botanygeek.
Foodies:
I spend hours every week looking at recipe videos and finding new recipes to try, so keeping this list short was very tough!
Donal Skehan- Probably my favourite TV chef, so I may be biased! Great, free recipes and meal ideas @donalskehan.
Nagi of @recipe_tin- Nagi's recipes are delicious and I love her dog snaps. If you follow me on Pinterest, you'll notice lots of her recipes in my "favourites" board!
