What I Read & Follow
I spend a lot of time reading about health, nutrition, science and medicine, but my interests extend well beyond health.
These are some of the newsletters, blogs and YouTube channels I regularly follow. I don't necessarily agree with everything they say, but I find them interesting, informative and often thought-provoking.

Articles and commentary on medicine, public health, chronic disease and medical policy, often questioning conventional medical recommendations and institutions.
A longtime health educator whose YouTube videos examine medical research, public health and current health issues. I particularly enjoy his clear, detailed explanations and regularly follow his work.

A Note About These Sources
These aren't necessarily sources I agree with on every issue. Following interesting people with different perspectives is part of how I learn.
When something catches my attention, I often look more deeply at the research and evidence behind it. That's also how many of the subjects on Health Curious begin.
