ABOUT
Hey, I'm Alex! As a freelance health writer, I thoroughly research and ghostwrite blog posts, newsletter articles, podcast scripts, and social media content for dietitians, nutritionists, functional medicine practitioners, physicians, health coaches, and other health + wellness professionals. If you're passionate about health and wellness, I'd love to work with you!
WHY HEALTH & WELLNESS?
Though I’ve researched and written about many different topics over the years, wellness is my niche — especially food and nutrition, mind-body practices, and self-care. My passion for health and nutrition began several years ago, following a personal diagnosis with Lyme, ovarian cancer, Hashimoto’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and several other mystery ailments.
About a year before I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, my mother was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. Immediately following her diagnosis, she and I teamed up to learn as much as possible about health and nutrition. My mom continues to be my greatest inspiration, and I simply don’t know anyone who works so tirelessly for good health!
