Staff writer, Nutrition & Sleep
Gretchen Voss
Gretchen spent a decade managing a restaurant kitchen before she got interested in why so much nutrition advice online contradicts itself. She reads the actual studies behind sleep and food claims before she writes about them, and says plainly when the evidence is thinner than the headline suggests. She still keeps a kitchen scale on her desk out of habit.
