 Michelle McKenzie

Nutritionist

 
 

Michelle McKenzie studied Human Nutrition (BSc) at the London Metropolitan University and graduated with a first class honours degree. She was also awarded the Dietetics, Food and Nutrition prize by the university in recognition of her academic achievements. Michelle is a registered associate nutritionist accredited with the Association for Nutrition and provides evidence based consultations for a wide variety of clients from her clinics in both London and Hastings.

Michelle+Mckenzie+HEADSHOT2.1.jpg
 
 
 

Michelle’s journey into the world of nutrition began in 2009 when she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease. After following the recommended dietary advice for diabetics, it quickly became apparent that the advice given conflicts with what diabetes actually is - carbohydrate intolerance. After 10 years of working in the music industry, she went back to university to learn everything she could about nutrition, metabolism and diabetes. In 2016 an abstract of her research on low carbohydrate diets and diabetes was published by Cambridge Journals and she was invited to present her findings at the Royal Society of Medicine as part of the Nutrition Society’s Annual Winter Conference. Her research has attracted a lot of attention and has played a part in the growing consensus of how the current diabetic guidelines need to be urgently reformed. 

Michelle’s on a mission to educate everyone on what a healthy diet actually looks like. “The secret to healthy eating is no secret at all. Fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch. It’s good for you, it’s good for your family and it’s good for the planet.” 


Her love of research means that she keeps up to date with the ever changing world of health and nutrition. “In an age when it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction, I’m here to help navigate you through any confusion and show you how to make the right dietary choices. Sharing a meal with friends and family is one of the greatest pleasures in life, it should be an enjoyable experience without the need to count calories. I don’t believe in following the latest fad diet or any diet for that matter. I promote real food, fat and all.”

Anna K Headshot.jpg
 

Architecture’s loss was modeling’s gain in the case of Anna Klevhag, a statuesque Swede who was headed to university to study the latter when she was unexpectedly drawn into fashion. A favourite of Karl Lagerfeld and Gianni Versace, Anna K., as she is known professionally, enjoyed the jet-setting swirl of the late 1990s and early naughts. “It was a moveable feast, but I never knew I was severely ‘handicapped’ by what I now know was a strong ‘limiting belief’”, she notes. 

 
 
 

Having settled in the English countryside with her family, she took some time away from the industry, was divorced and remarried (thus acquiring a title—Anastasia, Lady Roborough), and found a new calling. Having gone on a personal journey of discovery and training, Klevhag, a certified coach, is now working both as a mannequin and pursuing her “passion project,” working as a life coach for models. “Coaching is powerful ” Klevhag says, “models need it so bad.” “It helps them get more productive, successful, fulfilled and confident.” Here, she shares her incredible adventures with Vogue.

The Power of Posture

BY STEPHEN FRASER

 
 
TFPS1Final-8.jpg
 
 
 

To unlock the best in fitness, your career and general day to day living, you need to find the right keys to use. Awareness of posture is one of those keys. 

As a model, posture should be an integral part of your make up. It allows you to look your best in photos, for clothes to fit correctly and also the ability to catwalk with confidence.

Bad posture occurs when there is a muscular imbalance between certain (normally opposing) areas of your body. The severity of these imbalances vary from person to person but as a rule of thumb, keeping healthy shoulder and hip joints - yoga is a great component for this - whilst following a well rounded strength programme can have a great impact on your postural balance. 

Due to the nature of society and today’s technology, you might find yourself falling into bad postural habits. Do any of these scenarios sound like you?
