Faye Elledge is a renowned nutritionist and researcher in the health and wellness industry. While it may be easy to assume that Elledge has lived a happy and fulfilled life, this wasn’t always the case.
As children of Italian immigrants, Elledge and her siblings were raised to love food. And with her mother’s hearty, healthy meals, this never became an issue. But problems started to arise when Elledge’s oldest sister, Emma, started university.
To cope with stress, Emma started taking comfort in food because it reminded her of home. This caused her to gain a ton of weight. And before she could catch herself, she was already suffering from an array of health issues, including diabetes and hypertension.
Several trips to the doctor later, Emma was advised to undergo a revolutionary surgical procedure that assists in weight loss. While life-changing for Emma, she still needed to maintain her weight loss if she wants to live a long, healthy life.
Seeing her older sister suffer through it all sparked Elledge’s desire to pursue a career in nutrition, focusing on specialized diets.
Fast-forward to today, Elledge is sharing all she has learned – from her research and her clients – to her global readership through her bestselling books, the “Ketogenic Diet Cookbook” and the “Bariatric Surgery Cookbook” — all rich in insights, tips, and recipes that help people stay on track with their health journey.
Since she started her career, Elledge has helped thousands of people take back control of their health and weight and live full, rich, happy lives. Her goal has always been to help others heal themselves through good food… and Elledge has been unstoppable ever since.
