Our writers

Helen is a geriatrician who spent nineteen years on hospital wards before moving into health writing. She reads the primary literature so readers do not have to, and she is unusually blunt about what the evidence does not show.

Ray is a strength coach who has spent most of his career working with clients in their sixties, seventies and eighties. He is interested in the smallest change that produces a real difference in how a person moves.

Ingrid trained as a dietitian in Oslo and now writes about food and ageing. She has a long-running argument with the supplement industry that she is unlikely to win.
