I help health and wellness brands tell their stories to build an audience of true fans. I’ve worked with publications like Prevention and Women’s Health, as well as companies like Zocdoc and United Healthcare.

I’m the author of the books Is Our Food Killing Us? (Thames & Hudson, 2021) and Stuff Every Cook Should Know (Quirk Books, 2016). I’ve been nominated for a James Beard Journalism award and an IACP award. I’ve written a cookbook (Almost Meatless, Ten Speed Press, 2009), and I’ve helped other people write their cookbooks.
