About rhondapatrick

Ph.D. in biomedical science. Previous research experience in aging, cancer, metabolism, nutrition, and neuroscience. Passionate about synthesizing health & science information into mediums that appeal to a larger lay audience. I speak on and write on topics ranging from general health and wellness, to diet and aging, to vitamins and their effects. I try to challenge the status quo and encourage the wider public to think about health and longevity using a proactive, preventative approach.
