Welcome to Here & Human Wellness
Here & Human is where the practical parts of wellness meet the messier experience of actually being alive.
I’m Jennifer McDaniel—a registered dietitian, writer, mother, and lifelong student of wellness—though these days, I’m increasingly interested in a kind of wellness that asks us to do less fixing and more being.
Here you’ll find writing about food and nutrition, midlife and women’s health, raising a family, and the quieter questions of being human: our thoughts, relationships, identities, struggles, and the ways we move through our days.
Some of it is practical. Some of it is personal. And some of it simply asks us to look more closely at what is already here.
