About the Author

Meet John-Manuel Andriote

Since my first book reviews for the Advocate in 1983, I have been writing about health and medicine, what it means to be a man in America, and how to live resiliently. The articles I've written over the years reflect my wide-ranging curiosity and enjoyment in sharing what I learn in my explorations of fascinating subjects. As a storyteller and journalist, I relish the creative challenge of weaving interesting stories from facts, data, and firsthand accounts. Most of all, I like contributing toward helping others to enjoy their life with good health, insight, and resilience.
