About The Health Signal

The Health Signal is an independent health and nutrition publication dedicated to reporting what really matters — not what’s trending. We cover global food policy, ingredient safety, dietary regulation, and public health updates with one goal: to help you make smarter, fact-based health decisions in a world full of noise.

We don’t push fads. We don’t fearmonger. We don’t do fluff.
Just clean, evidence-based dispatches you can trust.

Each week, subscribers receive:

  • 🚨 Clear breakdowns of the latest global health and nutrition headlines

  • 🌍 Country-by-country comparisons of ingredient laws and food standards

  • 🧠 Myth-busting explainers on viral health claims

  • 📊 Simple visuals that make complex data easy to digest

Our stories are made for:

  • Parents who want to know what’s in their kids’ food

  • Students and professionals who care about health policy

  • People who’ve had enough of influencer advice and just want the facts


The Health Signal is run by Gavin Wilson, a public health policy student, researcher, and nutrition analyst. Frustrated by the contradictions in food labeling, dietary guidance, and regulation across countries, Gavin built this platform to bridge the gap between global data and daily decision-making.
