Chelsea Whitfield

Chelsea Whitfield specializes in the "why is this happening to my body" questions readers are often too embarrassed to ask their doctor outright, from narrowing arteries and unexplained sweating to shifts in memory and brain health that show up with age. She also covers the nutrients and vitamins seniors are most likely to fall short on, along with practical exercise and eye care tips for staying active and independent. Her articles aim to demystify these changes and give readers a clear next step, whether that's a simple home remedy or a reason to call a physician. She occasionally branches into the everyday side of senior life as well, covering retirement budgeting pitfalls and timely deals readers can take advantage of around holidays and civic events. Outside of work, Chelsea is an avid home cook who's spent the last few years relearning family recipes with less sodium and sugar, swapping in herbs and citrus for flavor instead. She counts her weekly farmers' market run as her favorite part of the routine, and she likes to plan Sunday meals around whatever looks best at the stalls that week. Chelsea also keeps a small herb garden on her back porch, takes an evening walk with her husband most nights, and is slowly working her way through a stack of cookbooks she's been meaning to read cover to cover for years.
