I am a nutritional scientist with decades of experience in evidence-based nutrition and health sciences (BS, UC Berkeley; PhD, MIT). I provide professional consultation on nutrition, dietary supplements, skin care, wellness products, and health concerns, and assist clients with legal compliance and content creation.
My services as an independent contractor include writing and editing label text, marketing collateral, product substantiation documents, short easy-to-understand pieces, longer in-depth articles, and interviews with subject experts.
Evidence-based written content on nutrition, dietary supplements, and health.
Expert narratives that make complex scientific findings accessible to nonscientists.
Well-substantiated claims for health-related products.
Written editorial and marketing content
I create content to help the public understand health-related products, services, and concerns. Whether a short piece aimed at the casual reader or a more substantial article that will serve as a respected resource, my writing is based on years of experience evaluating peer-reviewed scientific evidence
I formulate and substantiate claims for nutrition and health-related ingredients and products. My experience in both scientific research and business allows me to devise structure-function, label, and marketing claims that are strong, well-substantiated, and compliant with FDA and FTC guidelines.
