Health & Wellbeing is the home of advice on how to get fit and, more importantly, feel good. Here you’ll find healthy eating tips from nutritionists, workout ideas from PTs, real life stories and exclusive interviews with celebrities, top tips from GPs as well as feel-good inspiration and mindful techniques. There is also inspiring content from our brilliant columnists – including Andrea McLean and Amanda Byram – as well as healthy recipes, the latest beauty, fashion and skincare buys and easy-to-follow exercise plans you can do from the comfort of your own home – all of which will help you look and feel your best. We champion the many benefits of walking through our Walk to Wellbeing podcast and content hub too, and aim to help women take control of their health, one step at a time.

More than just a website

Our website is an extension of Health & Wellbeing magazine, which was originally established more than a decade ago. Over the years, we’re proud to have become one of the UK’s most trusted titles when it comes to women’s health and fitness. Our mission is to inform and entertain you through empowering ideas that will give you the boost you’re looking for, and all our content is designed with you, our reader, in mind. Promoting more joy, less stress, healthy eating and lifestyle advice that doesn’t cost the earth, Health & Wellbeing is underpinned by this simple statement: You can change how you feel, it’s easy, and we’ll show you how.
We follow strict editorial standards when producing content for the website and magazine and you can be sure that we feature only the very best experts and writers within these pages.

Meet our editorial team

Our experienced team of writers and editors at Health & Wellbeing have years of journalism experience in the health and wellness sphere.

Holly is editor of Health & Wellbeing magazine, and has 15 years' experience in consumer lifestyle journalism. As well as leading the content for the magazine and website, she also heads up the brand’s popular wellness awards and more recently, has been finding her voice as host of the Walk To Wellbeing podcast. Curiosity, creativity and compassion are the core values at the heart of her work and reflective in the health titles at DC Thompson.

Wellness journalist Claire has more than 14 years of experience in the women’s consumer magazine industry and is passionate about sharing easy-to-implement health advice that can really make a difference. Claire enjoys exploring what it means to have a healthy mind, and you'll find her writing about everything from the benefits of journaling to the ways in which we can improve our gut health. Outside of work, she loves nothing better than exploring the Suffolk countryside with her two young girls.

Laura has more than a decade of experience in journalism, having started working as a health writer in 2008. Since then, she’s written about wellbeing, food, fitness, crafts and interiors for a variety of brands and publications. In her spare time you’ll mostly find her walking her dog, doing yoga or running around after her two children.

Liz has 15 years' experience in women's lifestyle journalism and creative writing. Over the years, she's been stalked by paparazzi, pummeled by a Ukrainian judo champion, danced on ice like the stars and rubbed shoulders with her heart-throb James McAvoy, all in the name of a great feature. More seriously, she's written about heart disease, attended a Death Café, campaigned for Visa machines in black cabs and interviewed a woman who lost both legs and an arm to meningitis.

Rae is the newest member of the H&W editorial team, working on the mag’s creative branded content and joining the panel on the Walk to Wellbeing podcast. She’s spent several years living and working abroad as a copywriter and journalist, including on the sunny shores of the Algarve where she had the pleasure of writing for luxury lifestyle magazines and businesses. When she's not writing for H&W, Rae can be found practising yoga, walking in nature or braving a cold dip in the sea.

Daniella is senior content writer at Health & Wellbeing magazine, which combines her love for writing, food and fitness. Daniella’s love of glossy magazines began when she’d steal copies of her mum’s Marie Claire and buy the latest issue of Cosmo to catch up on all the latest celebrity gossip. Fast forward a few years, and she went on to gain a Print Journalism degree and NCTJ qualification, specialising in media law, magazine journalism and news feature writing.
