Freelance Health Writer

My name is Sharon Kirby and I am a freelance writer specialising in health and fitness, although I am willing to write articles on almost any subject. I am based in the UK.

My articles have appeared in publications such as Nursing Times, The Online Journal of Sport Psychology, Issues: Staying Fit, and on various other medical and health websites.

I provide written content for the information websites, Disordered Eating and Avoid Mosquito Bites.

I am also a contributing writer for Suite101, an online magazine for independent journalism and expert advice. My latest health-related articles are:

How to Prevent Symptoms of Iron Deficiency
Which Foods to Eat for a Healthy Vegan Diet?
Zinc Food Sources and Deficiency Symptoms
The Nutritional Value of Chicken Eggs
Eggs, High Cholesterol Levels and Heart Disease
Body Piercing Aftercare Helps Prevent Infections
What Causes Sore Muscles After Exercising?

Health and fitness have featured strongly in my academic career. I hold two health related degrees from the University of Essex, which are:

  • MSc Sports Science (Fitness & Health)
  • BSc (Hons) Psychology

I possess good research skills and the ability to deal with facts and figures, along with a scientific understanding of the relationships between exercise, fitness and health.
