The online health and wellness community is rapidly growing, and unfortunately, some members are promoting unrealistic body types, diets, and unnecessarily expensive supplements and foods as a requirement to be considered healthy. However, each and every person has a different body type, mind, metabolism and budget. Therefore it is important to find voices within the community who encourage diverse habits and intuitive eating – and thankfully, there are some.
The following health and wellness queens all eat differently and inspire others in their own way. The remarkable thing about all these women is they emphasize to their followers that they are all on different journeys with their bodies, therefore they must learn to fuel and treat themselves properly.

Ri puts in the hustle by consistently creating recipe content for her YouTube, Instagram and blog.
