About Healthy Habits
Wellness writing for adults who want the truth, in plain language.
We started this publication because we were tired of two things: the cold, lab-coat tone of medical writing, and the wishful thinking of most wellness content. There is a middle place. We live there.
Fitness
Practical, body-positive guides to moving more. Never punishing language, never “earn it” framing.
Mental health
Gentle, research-backed essays on rest, anxiety, focus, and the quiet noise.
Medical
Plain-language explainers on labs, symptoms, and doctor visits. Always cited, always disclaimed.
The team
The humans behind the bylines.
Four people, far too many opinions about breakfast.
Dr. Maya Chen
Editor-in-chief · MD
Family medicine doctor. Writes about the small daily things that change how a body feels.
Sam Okafor
Mental health lead
Psychotherapist in training. Believes most of us are doing better than we think.
Priya Mehta, RD
Nutrition editor
Dietitian who plates her own dinner before writing about yours. Anti-restriction.
Dr. Lina Park
Medical fact-checker
Internal medicine. Reviews every medical claim before it goes anywhere near a draft.
