Provide a list of the top 10 magazine writers who do features on healthy aging, fitness and workplace wellness.

Hello! Thanks for your question about the top 10 magazine writers who do features on healthy aging, fitness and workplace wellness.

Below you will find the list of top ten writers I compiled, as well as a detailed explanation of the methodology I applied to provide the requested information.

METHODOLOGY
In order to find top magazine writers who do features on topics such as science of healthy aging, Alzheimer's, brain health, fitness and workplace wellness I have employed a number of different strategies.
I searched for popular articles on social media on these topics to find the most influential authors, using various platforms compiling social media content, trending hashtags and profile descriptions.
I also determined a list of top tier magazines and newspapers, using such tools as Alexa and Similarweb, to ensure I only include large-circulation publications. Further, I conducted multiple advanced searches to find related content on the selected websites. Afterwards, I selected the writers who contributed most on the requested topics.
To provide the most relevant list, I made sure all the included writers have recently published new articles.
Although Gretchen Reynolds fulfills all the criteria, I didn't include her in the list, as she was mentioned in the "already found" section. However, I did include writers who contributed to New York Times, as the publication was mentioned in the "success" section of the request.
I also excluded influential writers who publish mainly on their own blogs or on blogs specialized on healthy aging.
For the articles included as examples I selected specifically those related to healthy aging, brain health, fitness and workplace wellness, excluding any general gym, fitness or dating-related articles.

Below is the list of top ten magazine writers on healthy aging, fitness and brain health related topics. For each person I included a short description, a link to personal website or the dedicated author page on the magazine it contributes to, as well as three most relevant/recent examples of articles.
