Food fuels My Nguyen’s growing lifestyle empire. Nguyen honed her cooking skills at her family’s Vietnamese restaurant in LA before moving her talents online. Her Instagram account, My Healthy Dish, attracts more than 2 million followers with creative, healthy recipes. “All the food bloggers do the same thing. I’m always thinking, ‘How can I stand out? How can I make this video more interesting? How can I catch your eye?’” In 2024, Nguyen published her first cookbook (also titled My Healthy Dish). Nguyen ranks #48 on the Forbes Top Creators List 2024.
