Emily Gellis Lande

The inspirational Emily Gellis Lande is a social and wellness influencer, as well as an entrepreneur and the co-founder of the skincare range Poppy Girls. She is most famous for having taken on the role of an investigative journalist, exposing the damaging effects of diet culture and helping hundreds of victims realise they’re not alone in having been impacted by dieting.

Gellis Lande started off as a relatively unknown fashion influencer and blogger. But when she began to expose the damaging effects of diet culture, she completely upended the industry, and her online fame rose. She posted the stories that she received from suffering dieting clients, and as her Instagram following grew to more than 200k, the stories became more and more intense. The more she posted, the more former dieting clients realised how many others were struggling just like they were. And then complaints about more and more other popular diets started to come in, and Gellis Lande continued to repost nearly every story shared, exposing the diet industry’s money-making motivations and long-lasting negative effects. She has since ventured into exposing the cult-like fitness environment of workout programmes and gyms, and continues to strive to be a spokesperson for many.

Gellis Lande regularly connects with her legions of followers and fans through Instagram, posting pictures and videos about her day-to-day life. She is also available for that personalised shout-out via the Cameo platform.
