Now Your Health has been publishing practical, evidence-grounded health content since 2015. We cover nutrition, fitness, sleep, mental health, and the science of longevity — always with an eye toward what the research actually supports and what you can realistically put into practice.
Our Editorial Philosophy
We believe good health writing should do two things: accurately represent the evidence, and translate it into something useful for real people with real schedules and real constraints.
That means we don't cover every study as if it overturns everything that came before it. We don't sell certainty on questions that are still open. And we don't mistake "trending" for "important."
Our writers and editors have backgrounds in nutrition science, exercise physiology, and health journalism. When we write about research, we try to represent what the evidence actually shows — the strength of the evidence, the size of the effect, the limitations of the study design — not just the most compelling headline version of it.
Our Team
Dana Mehta has served as Editor-in-Chief since the publication's founding. She brings a background in nutrition science and public health writing, with a particular focus on translating research from clinical populations to practical everyday application. She has shaped the publication's voice and editorial standards across its first decade.
Priya Rao joined as Recipes and Food Editor in 2016, bringing hands-on culinary training alongside her interest in the science of food and nutrition. Her work focuses on making evidence-backed eating patterns approachable and genuinely enjoyable rather than prescriptive or joyless.
Marcus Chen has covered fitness and strength training for the publication since 2017. His writing focuses on the physiology of exercise adaptation, practical training programming, and the evidence behind recovery practices. He has a particular interest in the research on training across the lifespan.
Sasha Okafor joined the editorial team in 2018 as our Mental Health and Sleep Editor. Her coverage spans the intersection of sleep science, stress physiology, and mental health — areas she sees as deeply interconnected. She approaches mental health topics with the same evidence-based rigor applied to physical health throughout the publication.
Milestones
2015 — Now Your Health launched with a focus on practical nutrition and lifestyle content. The first year's editorial calendar was built around topics the founding team had found to be chronically misrepresented in popular health media.
2017 — Expanded coverage to fitness and sleep, recognizing that health decisions don't happen in silos. The fitness archive grew quickly into one of the more-read areas of the site.
2019 — Added a product section, curating supplements with genuine evidence behind them for readers who wanted to act on the research they were reading. Editorial independence from product coverage has been a firm policy since day one.
2021 — Marked six years of publication with a site redesign and an expanded author team. By this point, the article archive covered most major areas of evidence-based health and wellness.
2023 — Added the member community, creating space for readers to engage with each other and with our editorial team beyond the articles themselves.
A Note on Sources
We link to primary research when we reference specific findings. When we summarize a body of research rather than a single study, we aim to represent the consensus view accurately and note where there is genuine scientific disagreement.
We are not clinicians. Our content is educational and should not be used as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For specific health concerns, work with a qualified healthcare provider.
