WellBeing

Full of health

Jessica Sepel is the kind, compassionate and hard-working clinical nutritionist, bestselling author, international health blogger and beloved voice behind JSHealth and @jshealth. She spoke to WellBeing from her beachside home in Vaucluse, Sydney, which she shares with her partner in business and in life, Dean Steingold.

The warm, bubbly and gracious 30-year-old is so down-to-earth that you feel that you are chatting with a close friend, which is surely how her 263,000 Instagram followers also feel. After a quick scroll through her honest and relatable feed, which is all about cultivating a healthy relationship with food and body-love practices, you can see why Sepel has attracted such a cult following.

After having experienced her own struggles with food and body image, Sepel is passionate about helping others overcome disordered eating patterns to achieve a balanced lifestyle through feeding themselves wholefoods and loving thoughts. In between communicating directly with her community on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, she has created her own app with recipes and health guides, as well as an eight-week online program and a vitamin company. And if that wasn’t enough, she has also penned three books: The Healthy Life (2015), Living the Healthy Life (2017) and The 12-Step Mind-Body-Food Reset (2019).

A healthy handbook
