Evidence-Based Wellness for Families

Evidence First Wellness focuses on helping families evaluate dietary supplements using an evidence-informed, quality-focused approach.
Evidence First Wellness is written by a biomedical engineer with professional experience in dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and consumer health products, grounded in regulated quality systems and evidence-based practices. The site is written with families in mind.

The purpose of this site is not to promote trends or products, but to explain what actually matters when evaluating supplement-related wellness decisions—ingredient identity, formulation quality, bioavailability, and risk. These factors are often obscured by marketing language, despite being central to whether a product is likely to perform as intended.

An evidence-first approach recognizes uncertainty, prioritizes biological plausibility, and focuses on practical decision-making rather than perfection. The goal is to provide clear, structured information so families can make informed choices with confidence.

My Background

I am a biomedical engineer with professional experience in dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and consumer health products, working within regulated quality systems and evidence-based formulation practices. My work has involved evaluating ingredient identity, formulation design, product safety, and consistency across real-world manufacturing environments.

I hold:

• a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University

• a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from St. Joseph’s University

This background allows me to approach supplement-related and consumer health topics from both a biological and engineering perspective—understanding not just what an ingredient is, but how it performs within complex biological and production systems.

Why I Write for Families

In addition to my professional background, I am also a parent to a toddler. That perspective shapes how I approach wellness topics.

Parents don’t have the luxury of chasing trends or experimenting recklessly. Decisions about dietary supplements—and related wellness choices—must balance safety, evidence, and real-life practicality—often under time constraints and with limited tolerance for risk.

Everything published here is written with that responsibility in mind. Content is developed to support thoughtful, informed decision-making for families who want clarity, not confusion, in an increasingly crowded wellness landscape.
