Since 2013, I have been contributing to The New York Times Well blog. I have reported on topics ranging from smoking rates and local grain economies to the stress of entrepreneurship and robots in the doctor’s office. My focus is on nutrition and healthy eating, and I love having the opportunity to address readers’ most burning questions through the Ask Well platform.
