Sarah Ann Macklin is a multifaceted force in the realm of health, nutrition, and advocacy. As the founder of the acclaimed podcast Live Well Be Well and the visionary behind the Be Well Collective, she has galvanised change in the wellness landscape.

Sarah was talent-spotted by a top London model agency at the age of 15 then whisked off to New York and catapulted into the world of high fashion and glamour, appearing on the front cover of Harpers, Vogue, and was the face of many high-profile campaigns. However, the reality was a brutal industry, which lacked any compassion and empathy. The apparent success of Sarah ultimately led to her health failing and being admitted to A&E which subsequently forced a huge career rethink, leading to the decision of turning her back on high fashion and pursuing her other love, nutrition! Through drive and determination, and ‘hindered’ with dyslexia, Sarah achieved a first-class degree in nutrition!

Her dedication to preventative mental health initiatives led to the establishment of the Be Well Collective, a not-for-profit organization committed to preventable mental health support, on a mission for all minds to BE Well. Through her top UK health and nutrition podcast, Live Well, Be Well, one of the biggest UK health podcasts with most exclusive of the moment health conversations involving the world’s renowned scientists and health experts, Sarah has publicised invaluable insights and garnered widespread acclaim.

Sarah’s influence extends to the political sphere, where she presented crucial findings on dietary guidelines and their link to the Type 2 diabetes epidemic at the European Parliament. Her book, “The Great British Veg Out,” ignited a nationwide campaign for healthier eating habits, earning support from prominent figures like Gary Barlow and Victoria Pendleton. Additionally, Sarah has consulted for leading brands such Ennismore group, Farmstand restaurant and The GoodLife as well as help patients in her clinic from magazine editors, popstars, actors and C-suite level executives and worked for Netflix.

Featured topics include

From launching her entrepreneurial journey at 15 to becoming a trailblazer in the fashion industry to pivoting her career to establish an organization with a bold vision: to introduce transformative change to a traditionally rigid industry. Through her unwavering voice and exceptional leadership skills, Sarah did the unthinkable—she united an entire industry to embrace change for the first time in its history.

But Sarah’s influence doesn’t stop there. She has also become the modern-day voice of health and nutrition across the UK through her successful podcast. Her journey illustrates not just the potential for individual achievement, but the profound effect one person’s leadership can have on shaping industries and inspiring a nation.

Navigating the world with dyslexia has been Sarah’s journey since school, a path marked by challenges that seemed insurmountable. Yet, this journey has been more than a story of struggle; it’s a testament to the resilience and unique perspectives that neurodiversity brings to our lives. Sarah’s experiences with dyslexia have not only shaped her understanding of learning and communication but have also driven her to advocate for a world that recognizes and celebrates neurodiverse talents. This personal battle has underscored the importance of embracing our differences, transforming perceived weaknesses into our greatest strengths.

From the world of modelling to navigating the challenges of dyslexia, and eventually founding two companies—one of them a not-for-profit—embodies the essence of resilience. This path wasn’t just about adapting to change; it was about reshaping adversity into a foundation for growth. Facing dyslexia head-on taught Sarah that our greatest struggles can lead to our most profound achievements.

From pioneering a not-for-profit mental health organization in a resistant industry to navigating personal mental health challenges within the high-pressure modelling world, Sarah’s journey embodies a deep commitment to mental wellness. Her extensive study of the interplay between mental and physical health has provided Sarah with a comprehensive understanding of their interconnectedness.

Named the Jamie Oliver of Nutrition’ by Marie Claire, Sarah’s journey didn’t stop at retraining as a nutritionist at 24. Over the last decade, she has taken her passion to the European Parliament as the lead nutritionist, run her own successful clinic, and served as an advisor to numerous brands. Her top UK health podcast speaks to the leading voices in this field. What sets her approach apart is the integration of self-compassion into the fabric of nutritional guidance, recognizing that true wellness encompasses both physical health and mental wellbeing.
