Amanda MacMillan

Health writer and blogger

Amanda MacMillan was introduced to health and nutrition writing as an intern (and later an editor) at Prevention magazine, and has since worked as an editor for Health.com and WholeLiving.com. As a freelance writer, she's contributed to National Geographic's The Green Guide, YogaLife, Health, ESPNw, Viv Mag, and Time Out New York.

She loves food and wine, being outdoors, and -- because she's not exactly good at any one sport but sufficiently decent at a few -- competing in triathlons with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program. She's currently blogging about her quest to have an eco- and budget-friendly Brooklyn wedding at LeanGreenBride.com
