About the Author

Sarah Ann Macklin

Sarah Ann Macklin

Sarah Ann Macklin is a leading nutritionist and founder of the acclaimed podcast ‘Live Well Be Well’.

Sarah Ann has spoken to the European Parliament on dietary guidelines, emphasising their connection to the Type 2 diabetes epidemic, and has contributed to publications like the Financial Times, Telegraph and Harper’s Bazaar.
