Hi, I'm Elena

I am a science writer and researcher with a focus on maternal health and well-being. My work is deeply rooted in the concept of evolutionary mismatch - a theory that examines how contemporary lifestyles diverge from those our ancestors evolved to thrive in. I write a best-selling Substack newsletter, Motherhood Until Yesterday, and I am working on a book for Penguin Random House. I have published in peer-reviewed journals and my work has been featured in Newsweek, Today.com, and other major media outlets. I currently live with my husband and two young children in the southwest of France, but return often to the US, my home country.

Partnerships and Collaborations

I partner with select brands whose mission and values align with mine. I am (occasionally) open to creating sponsored content on my Instagram, as well as my newsletter and podcast.If you have an interesting take on something I have written about and would like to come on my podcast, or write as a guest for my newsletter, please reach out. Similarly, if you have a podcast or platform and would like to have me on as a guest, please send me some details about your focus area, interests and statistics about your listeners and I'd love to consider.I also love hearing insightful comments and questions from my readers.For all of the above, please reach out to elenabridgersconsulting@gmail.com
