About The Nutrition Magazine

The Nutrition Magazine is an independent editorial publication covering nutrition science, food, recipes, diet trends, and the apps and tools that shape how we eat.

We started in 2026 because most reporting on nutrition is either thinly sourced wellness content or dry research summaries written for other researchers. We try to do something different: serious, evidence-based journalism, edited like a magazine, written for adults who want to understand the food they eat without being talked down to.

What we cover

  • Apps & Tools — calorie counters, macro trackers, photo-AI scanners, and meal planners, evaluated against fixed accuracy and usability rubrics.
  • Nutrition Science — plain-English reporting on peer-reviewed research, with the studies linked.
  • Recipes — built around real nutrition goals, not seasonal trends.
  • Diet Trends — what is actually new, and what is being repackaged for the third time.
  • Q&A with Experts — long conversations with dietitians, scientists, and clinicians who do the work.
  • News — industry, policy, and product news.
  • Best Of — our shortlists, ranked picks, and editorial guides.

Masthead

Claire Westmore, MS Nutrition
Editor-in-Chief

Claire founded The Nutrition Magazine after twelve years editing for national food and health publications. She holds a Master's in Nutrition and has commissioned, edited, and shipped more than two thousand articles on what people eat. Her editorial obsession is the gap between what nutrition research actually shows and what the wellness industry sells back to readers — and closing it without lecturing.

Dr. Anand Kapoor, PhD, Nutritional Biochemistry
Senior Science Writer

Anand spent a decade in academic nutritional biochemistry — running studies on macronutrient metabolism, lipid biology, and the messy reality of dietary intake measurement — before moving full-time to journalism. He covers nutrition science for The Nutrition Magazine with a translator's instinct: take the actual study, explain what it does and does not show, and never overstate. He has a particular interest in the methods underneath the headlines.

Eli Tanaka, CNS
Recipes & Food Columnist

Eli writes the recipes column at The Nutrition Magazine. Before becoming a Certified Nutrition Specialist, they spent six years on the line in restaurant kitchens, which is where they learned that the difference between a recipe people actually cook and one they screenshot and forget is usually about three steps and a clear protein target. Their column builds recipes around real nutrition goals — protein, fiber, satiety — without making them feel like homework.

Monica Leduc, MA, Journalism
Apps & Tools Editor

Monica covers the apps, devices, and software that mediate how people eat — calorie counters, macro trackers, photo-AI scanners, meal planners, glucose monitors. She came to nutrition tech from consumer-software journalism, where she learned to be skeptical of vendor claims and patient with rubric-driven testing. Her reviews are built on real, multi-week use of the product on her own accounts at retail prices.

Independence and funding

The Nutrition Magazine is independently funded. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored articles, or "vendor-supplied" review units that come with conditions.
