About
I translate clumsy medical science into user-friendly formats that readers quickly understand. Advanced study in medical science, behavior, nutrition, and fitness lets me cut through pseudoscience in the age of information overload.
When not applying health science to my department, I'm applying it to my lifestyle- trying new recipes, running, and lifting weights. Although my current training is moderate, I'm a two-time marathoner and occasional rugby player with international experience.
