Eve Simmons is the cofounder and writer of Not Plant Based, a blog aiming to help people who have struggled with eating disorders fall in love with food again.

In her early 20s, she entered a career in fashion surrounded by people who were barely eating. And slowly those poor eating habits and this stigmas around food turned into her own disordered reality when she developed anorexia.

After being hospitalized, she began her road to recovery. As a writer she had a unique perspective, looking at all the distorted messaging society and the fashion industry were perpetuating and realizing people were being coerced into these unhealthy habits. She wanted to help shift this mindset.
