   Today’s episode is a special one because it marks our final episode, our grand finale after a great two year run!

   Building Safety and Standards in the Workplace: Models Trust & CEO Elizabeth Peyton-Jones

   Elizabeth Peyton-Jones is a health and lifestyle author, fashion industry campaigner, master herbalist, practitioner, naturopath, advisor and the founder & CEO of Models Trust, an independent organization providing reports for brands and agencies to make the talent’s workplace safer. Listen to Dr. Allie in conversation with Elizabeth as they speak about why she created Models Trust, her perspective as a healer and practitioner, and how she is trying to bring safety to the workplace for models. Elizabeth, through Models Trust, champions safety, sustainability, diversity, equality and inclusion for all fashion industry talent, through anonymous feedback surveys. She has always been passionate about changing people’s perceptions of what good health really looks like, so when in 2016, she was invited by the British Fashion Council to create a diet for models, she jumped at the chance. Unable to understand why they would need more information than was already out there, she set about exploring how to make a difference to their diets and health. Following a year of research, Elizabeth discovered that models faced a range of workplace risks, that not only endangered their physical health but their emotional and financial wellbeing as well and diet was a red herring to what was enabling this condition to exist. More recently, Models Trust has campaigned to keep modern slavery and human trafficking out of modeling, which has led to Elizabeth talking about her vision to the United Nations General Assembly, to the US Council at the White House, and the World Economic Forum in Davos.
