Meet Sarah Ann Macklin

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. A registered nutritionist, TEDx speaker, international model, and esteemed health journalist, Sarah’s impact exceeds boundaries.

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.

Sarah talks candidly about her own battles during her time as model recognising the lack of nutritional guidance in the modelling industry, Sarah founded the Be Well Collective, which has positively impacted thousands of young individuals through education summits, workshops, mentoring programs, and online resources.

Her TEDx talk, “Are models, role models?” underscored her prowess as a compelling public speaker on physical and mental health, further solidifying her reputation. Sarah’s contributions to esteemed publications such as the Financial Times, Telegraph, and Harper’s Bazaar reflect her unwavering commitment to empowering individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
