WELCOME! About Krissy...

For five years I was the lead health editor at Reader's Digest print & digital and am a #1 New York Times bestselling writer.

My career started at the New York Times Co. before I moved to the publisher's office at Simon & Schuster Publishing. In my academic training, I completed a clinical research internship at the Cleveland Clinic and a semester-long clinical practicum at University Health's Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital. My B.S. from John Carroll University is in clinical psychology (while completing a second major in communications), and my master's is in public communication & media studies from Fordham University in New York City.

Today I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my family. My husband is a medical doctor overseeing quality of patient care—one of the good guys in medicine. One of the best.

My work has been featured in PEOPLE, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Glamour, NPR, HBO, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), and international media outlets. 

I'm a certified fitness instructor and have served as a volunteer on multiple community committees and boards, including as the fundraising chair for the Free Medical Clinic in my Pennsylvania hometown. 

I want you to be healthy. I don't want you to be hungry. We all deserve to live our best life.
