I deliver researched health and nutrition blog articles with intuitively placed SEO keywords throughout the text to help your online content stand out. Take advantage of my skills, expertise, and more than 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry as a Registered Dietitian to share science-backed information with your audience. I will help you create credible health and nutrition content that translates complicated medical jargon into easy-to-understand information so people can make informed decisions about their health. I love a challenge and welcome the opportunity of creating the content you need to grow your audience. The comment below is from one of my clients whose project has recently ended: "Working with Wendy has been an absolute pleasure. She always delivered high-quality content. Her articles were researched, accurate, and effectively optimized for SEO with well-implemented keywords. Wendy's openness to feedback and corrections also made this collaboration very easy and efficient. I highly recommend Wendy for her exceptional writing skills and reliability." Since I started calling myself a Health Writer, I have written on the following topics and more: - Healthy eating - The keto diet - Intermittent fasting - The Mediterranean diet - Histamine Intolerance - Diabetes - Gut health - Menopause - Dentistry - Regenerative farming - Mould toxicity - Corporate health programs - Product descriptions for web copy and labels - Yoga - Sleep - Mental health - The importance of breathing well - Teen Health - Weight loss - Nutrition supplements Hire me for all your web copy, blog articles, short eBooks, and email newsletters. I have a long list of happy clients who have requested that I keep my contracts with them open. However, many are inactive, leaving room for me to work for you!
