The current well-being space, unfortunately, tends to exclude many people. As a health editor focusing on nutrition at GoodRx Health, I want to help change that. When I approach an article, I ask myself, ‘Are these recommendations accessible? Are they affordable? Am I doing my best to take everyone into account?’
