Edgar Kirby has a lot of good things going on for him with over 400,000 followers across social media, a successful business and a debut cookbook.

His backstory is one that will stop you in your tracks though – he grew up in a difficult home, lost his sister, hit rock bottom and rebuilt his life from the ground up. This week on Life Unfiltered Maria McHale talks to the Waterford nutritionist and TikTok chef about grief, resilience, food as comfort and food as cure. 

Edgar is a living example that a happy life is possible on the other side of your worst days, you can find Edgar on Instagram and TikTok: @edgar_kirby_
