Krissy Brady

Krissy is a freelance writer who covers all things health and wellness. Over the last decade, her work has appeared in magazines like Cosmopolitan, Prevention, and Women’s Health, as well as on websites like HuffPost, SELF, and Shondaland.

Her personal approach to wellness is less Peloton instructor and more The Little Engine That Could. Sure, the thought of working out and prepping meals and feeling feelings morphs her into a puddle of stress sweat. And, yes, her family thought she was joking when she told them she was becoming a health journalist. But it’s also why she’ll never stop seeking out ways to level up how we take care of ourselves and each other—one slightly healthier decision at a time.
