Creative Writing Intern – Functional Food & Medicine, Health & Fitness

MyFormulary seeks a highly creative writer to author original works, curate works of other contributors including physicians, clinicians, nutritionists, pharmacists and scientists. This summer internship may result in an offer for full time employment as early as September.

MyFormulary is a Functional Medicine technology platform featuring educational resources and online direct sales with over 55,000 high quality name-brand foods, meals, beverages, supplements, vitamins, wellness, skin, hair and home products. Our patent-pending “Efficacy Engine” provides consumers with product gradings based upon clinical efficacy of the ingredients contained therein, all supported with direct links to research findings to support claims to treat/prevent specified diseases.

Preventable diseases are destroying lives and financial wellbeing. Medicine has been focused on treatment instead of prevention. The core of prevention is nutrition through effective foods. False claims, conflicting information and biased sources all contribute to consumer confusion. No single source to trust has emerged and there has been no way to easily determine what foods or facts are right for individuals.
