I first met Rens Kroes in New York City a few years ago. I had known of her for a while but had never met her in person. She is one of those people who seem almost inapproachable via the social media lens, simply because of how successful and well-known she is.

I didn’t think I’d follow the family tradition until I moved to New York about ten years ago and got really inspired by the wellness community here. I worked at an obesity clinic first, and then started formally studying nutrition and hormones. From there, I thought maybe I should make a blog about food—and the rest is history. Blogging went wild, I started writing for Glamour, and then I created a cookbook, and then another one…and then two more.

I explain my approach to health as a tool of empowerment. Mental health, exercising, and socializing are all important to make you feel good. Of course, nutrition is par
