Who are you?
“I started writing my blog deliciouslyella.com nearly two years ago as a way to teach myself about healthy, plant-based food and heal myself of a rare illness, Postural Tachycardia Syndrome, which I was diagnosed with in 2011. The illness left me bed-bound and I suffered with heart issues, stomach problems, constant pain, crazy fatigue and a whole host of other symptoms. I tried conventional medicine for about six months, but sadly I didn’t have much luck with it so I turned to diet, deciding to cut out all gluten, dairy, sugar and meat from my life as well as anything processed or refined. I hit a huge hurdle pretty quickly though – I couldn’t cook, not even a little bit. So I started a blog to encourage me to experiment in the kitchen and make something that seemed so restrictive into something so fun. Eighteen months after starting my healthy eating journey I was able to come off all my medication and now feel incredible. I’ve just released a best-selling healthy food app and am currently writing a cookbook, teaching cooking classes and studying as a nutritionist.”

“My blog is all about showing how amazing healthy food can be, moving it away from the stereotypes and helping people see that it can be unbelievably delicious and satisfying – it’s not about dieting, rather than learning to eat things that your body loves.”
