Ashley Abramson

I'm a journalist, editor, and content strategist focused on health and lifestyle topics.

My reported stories have been featured in print and online in the New York Times, Washington Post, the Guardian, the American Psychological Association's Monitor on Psychology, Glamour, Health, InStyle, and Allure. I also contribute regularly to Apartment Therapy.

Another huge chunk of my work is creating B2C and B2B content, primarily in the healthcare space. Whether I'm working on an SEO, service-driven story or a ghost-written thought leadership piece, I love breaking down complex topics in a digestible way.

When I'm not writing, I'm hanging out with my husband and school-aged sons. I love houseplants, iced lattes, exploring Milwaukee's food scene, sprawling novels, movies that make me feel something, and long walks with good playlists.

    12 Feb 2024—The Spruce Eats
    There's no right or wrong answer, but there is a difference. When I bake cookies or whip up cupcakes, I usually only pay attention to whether the butter is supposed to be salted or unsalted, and then buy whatever brand is cheapest. Given how many of my friends rave about Kerrygold butter, which is produced using milk from Irish grass-fed cows, I’ve wondered lately whether I may be missing out. Should I be using European butter instead when I’m baking? And honestly, what’s the difference...

    After she returned from maternity leave, NYPD officer Simone Teagle says she faced backlash from coworkers every time she took a break to pump breast milk. To avoid criticism and unsanitary pumping conditions — Teagle says she was forced to pump in the bathroom or a dirty women’s locker room — she only pumped when her breasts became unbearably full. After developing a painful breast infection, Teagle sued the city for failing to provide a private, sanitary lactation space, a violation of the...
