Finding honest health takes on the internet can be like searching the ocean for pearls. They’re few and far between, with countless hucksters cherry-picking study results in an effort to come up with the sensational claims that attract followers. As a writer, I strive to attract and hold attention by doing the opposite: Providing readers with the nuanced truth about any given topic, along with actionable take-home advice.
