#JBTL: Nutrition and Lifestyle Blog

Bailey first started her personal website as a nutrition blog to share her science and exercise expertise. Her two goals were to:

- Dispel commonly seen myths in the media
- Provide strategies to readers in both setting and achieving their goals 

As she embarked upon her journey as a graduate student in 2014, her interests circled more around student life and the challenges of academia. Struggling with weight gain, she brought the blog back to life in summer 2016 with a fresh new take - her Journey Back to Lean. 

In her Journey Back to Lean blog, Bailey writes about challenges in eating well and staying active while in graduat school. She catalogues the challenges of time management, eating well, and the slow but steady progress of weight loss.
