Imogen Russell
Hi, I'm Imi.
i'm a 400m hurdler, Accredited Practising Dietitian, and content creator passionate about helping others build a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and their bodies.
Athletics has been a huge part of my life and identity from a young age. However, my journey as an athlete was profoundly impacted by my experience with anorexia, which ultimately shaped both my personal and professional path. Recovering from an eating disorder inspired me to pursue dietetics and deepened my passion for evidence-based nutrition and athlete wellbeing.
Through my work and social media platforms, where I've been sharing my life since I was 13, I openly document my recovery journey and return to elite-level athletics. I'm passionate about showing that peak performance and health go hand in hand, and I strive to encourage a balanced, sustainable approach to nutrition and body image.
By sharing my experiences, I hope to inspire other athletes, young women, and anyone struggling with their relationship with food to prioritise health, self-compassion, and proper fuelling while pursuing their goals.
