I’m Jessica Braun Gervais, a dedicated health and wellness writer from Chicago. With a degree in journalism, I’ve honed my skills to craft stories that matter. My journey started as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. This hands-on experience gave me deep insights into physical and mental health and wellness . Over the years, I’ve stepped into the ring as a competitive Muay Thai kickboxer, testing my limits and learning firsthand what it takes to compete at high levels.

Switching gears, my professional path took an exciting turn when I blended my love for fitness with journalism. This unique mix allows me to create content that’s not just informative but personal to me and hopefully, the reader. I specialize in breaking down complex health issues, trends and products into easy-to-understand information that empowers readers. My goal? To help people make choices that fit their lives.

My writing is backed by research and enriched with personal insight from years of training others and myself. Having worked both one-on-one as a trainer and led groups through challenging workouts, I’ve accumulated over 1,000 hours on the gym floor. This extensive interaction with people of all fitness levels informs my approach to writing—making it relatable and actionable.

My articles aim to guide readers through their wellness journeys with clarity and confidence. Armed with insights from industry leaders alongside my expertise, I strive to deliver content that stands out for its credibility and usefulness.
