Meet Lindy
Kollo's ambassador community includes people from every corner of the health and fitness world — including the professionals who care for us. Today we'd like to introduce you to Lindy, a registered NHS nurse, endurance runner, and one of Kollo's original ambassadors, having been part of the community since the very beginning.
Hi, I'm Lindy and I'm a registered nurse working in the NHS. I have a passion for surgical nursing and in 2021 developed my own teaching podcast as well as being a sessional lecturer.
I'm also a keen runner, having completed the Chicago Marathon after having my place deferred from 2020. Half marathons are my usual distance goals where I thrive to improve my PB. I usually take a sachet before and after a long run.
I completed the Ride London 100 in May 2022 and the adrenaline rush was immense. I took Kollo alongside my usual nutrition through the event, and the whole experience was one I'll always remember.
Why do I take Kollo? Where do I start. So it all began when Jenni shared Kollo on her Instagram and as she's a runner, I thought I'd investigate more. Combining my active lifestyle with my career choice, I spend a large quantity of time on my legs, so investing in daily habits that support my long days on my feet is important to me.
I appreciate that Kollo includes vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, and cartilage, and to the normal function of the immune system — the immune point matters when I'm working long shifts around unwell people. Kollo also includes B vitamins including B5, which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and B12, which contributes to normal red blood cell formation. Working a 12-13 hour shift, then a gym workout or run requires optimum energy supplies and motivation. L-lysine is also included in the formula — an essential amino acid the body uses in various protein synthesis processes.
I've taken Kollo since it began in early 2020. I've enjoyed the benefits of its great taste, adding glow to my skin, nails that don't stop growing and getting to know the awesome Kollo team. I tend to take the sachet as a shot, but occasionally add it to water or a protein shake.

Why we love working with Lindy
Lindy represents something we care about at Kollo — the reality that healthcare professionals think carefully about their own health because they know how much it matters when they're caring for others. Combining a demanding NHS surgical nursing career with endurance running, teaching, and podcasting is not a small commitment, and the small daily habits she's built around consistency are how that kind of workload becomes sustainable.
Lindy is also one of Kollo's original ambassadors — she came onboard in the earliest days of the brand back in 2020, and has been part of the community ever since. That long-term relationship is one of the things we value most about her presence in the Kollo family.
