meet Lauretta Iyamu

PharmD, CCRP

Hi there

For many years, I worked as a pharmacist and later as a clinical researcher and medical writer. Every day, I saw how hard it was for people to understand their health.

Many women left appointments with more questions than answers. They searched online but found information that was confusing, full of medical words, or even incorrect.

I knew women deserved better.

That’s why I created Healthy Avid.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

WHAT AM I DOING?

My goal is simple: to make women’s health easier to understand.

Here, you’ll find clear, research-based information written in everyday words. Whether you’re trying to understand changes in your hormones, improve your sleep, eat healthier, or learn about a health condition, I want you to feel informed and confident.

I believe good health starts with good information. When you understand what’s happening in your body, you can ask better questions, make informed decisions, and work with your healthcare team with confidence.

Thank you for visiting Healthy Avid. I’m honored to be part of your health journey.
