Jordan Younger

Hi everyone! My name is Jordan Younger, and I write the popular health and lifestyle blog The Balanced Blonde. I started my blog two years ago to share my healthy vegan lifestyle on the web, but as the year played out and different things happened in my personal life I ended up moving away from veganism and beginning to blog about all things health and lifestyle oriented. THEN I wrote a memoir about my journey, which is my debut book and I am so very excited to share it with all of you.

And in case you need convincing, I do have a background in writing that goes beyond the blogosphere. I have a B.A. in English with Creative Writing and Journalism emphases from Loyola Marymount University, and 1/2 of an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from The New School in New York City. 1/2 of an M.F.A., I know, and that's because I left the program to pursue my blog full-time. Going all in with The Balanced Blonde turned out to be the best decision I've ever made... and lead me to writing my book shortly thereafter.

Aside from writing, I also like being in front of the screen (you can find me on YouTube and all sorts of talk shows and TV shows... even in a parody song or two!), on the yoga mat and at lots of yummy restaurants and juice bars in Los Angeles.

I am always available via my website if you want to reach out and say hi, get advice on eating disorder recovery, learn some yoga tips and tricks, or anything else. I hope you enjoy the book! It is my heart and soul.
