Most people don’t need more health advice.
They need clarity.
What’s true. What works. What to ignore—based on real science.
I don’t summarize wellness trends—I go back to the studies they’re based on.
I’m a PhD health researcher, award-winning scientist, and best-selling author writing in the same space as wellness influencers with no credentials. I’m ranked in the top 1% of the world’s most influential researchers—but what matters most is this:
I read the research. You get the takeaway.
No lab coat language.
No hacks.
No extremes.
No influencer fluff.
My posts are short. My standards are high.
Wellness has been made complicated—and expensive.
Most of what actually matters is simple, cheap, and not flashy.
When I’m not reading research, I’m hiking in National Parks with my family, exercising outdoors with friends, and living what I research.
Who This Is For
For people who want fewer opinions, fewer decisions, and more proof.
What I Cover
Science-backed takes on energy, focus, sleep, and longevity — with healthspan and joyspan as the goal.
Clear takes on buzzy wellness trends—what’s real, what’s BS.
Real-world tests of what I'm researching — including what didn't work.

The Credentials
Published 110+ peer-reviewed studies
NIH-funded researcher
University professor for 25+ years
Ran a research lab at a top-tier institute
Written best-selling wellness books
Quoted as a health expert in People, Vogue, Women’s Health, O, SELF, SHAPE, and more
Health isn’t just my job. It’s my hobby.
I grew up in Northern Ontario, Canada. Cold winters, frozen lakes. Now I live in Florida with my husband, three boys, and our dog — the other extreme.
I don’t have all the answers. But I know which questions are worth asking.
The Bottom Line
There are thousands of fluffy wellness newsletters. I’m a working researcher who publishes peer-reviewed studies. I read the research I write about — the actual papers. AI is my grammar check. Nothing else. Wellness Discovery is for people who want real health — grounded in science, with a little dirt under their boots.
