Contributing Health Writer
Shoshana Pritzker is a registered dietitian and contributing writer at Yahoo Health, covering supplements, wellness gear and healthy eating. She's tested more than 100 supplements, from melatonin and biotin to ashwagandha and pre-workouts, along with more than a dozen body composition scales and several small kitchen appliances (ice cream makers were a particular highlight). Her recommendations are informed by more than 20 years of experience as a dietitian, journalist and mom. As a dietitian, sports nutritionist and nutrition communications expert in the supplement industry, Pritzker has spent her career helping people navigate the often-overwhelming world of supplements and wellness products. That clinical background shapes every product she evaluates, helping her look beyond the label to determine whether the science actually supports the claims. Her work has appeared in Verywell Fit, Eat This, Not That!, The Kitchn, Oxygen, Business Insider and other publications. When she's not testing supplements, she's putting them to good use at the gym — or, preferably, relaxing poolside with a cocktail alongside her husband and two sons.
