Write for Us Health and Wellness – Share Your Expertise

Welcome to Vigor Blog

Hey! I’m really glad you found this page.

Look, here’s what’s going on. We’re running Vigor Blog because we’re tired of seeing health information that’s either way too complicated or just plain wrong. Our readers—they come here with real problems. They want to know how to actually have more energy in the afternoon. They want to understand why their skin is doing weird stuff. They’re anxious and want to know if what they’re feeling is normal.

We’re not some big corporate thing. We’re just people trying to help other people feel better. And honestly? We need more voices like yours to make that happen.

If you know health and wellness, and you actually care about helping people (not just getting clicks), then we should talk. Whether you’re a doctor or a nutritionist or you’ve just spent years learning about this stuff on your own, there’s probably a place for you here.

Who Should Write for Us?

Alright, let me be real with you. We’re picky about who writes here, but not in a snobby way. We just need people who actually know what they’re talking about.

If you’re any of these people, we probably want to hear from you:

Nurses, doctors, therapists – People who work with actual patients and know the real deal
Nutritionists and dietitians – The ones who’ve studied this stuff properly
Fitness coaches, trainers, yoga instructors – Anyone with real hands-on experience
Researchers or academics – If you can explain science without putting people to sleep
People with actual certifications – In nutrition, mental health, sleep, whatever
Anyone who’s studied health seriously – And can actually back up what you say
Wellness people who’ve helped real humans – Changed lives, not just sold stuff

I gotta say though—you don’t need a fancy degree hanging on your wall. Plenty of smart people don’t have traditional credentials. What you DO need is knowledge. Real knowledge. And honesty. We can tell when someone’s bullshitting, and so can our readers.

Topics We Actually Want

So like, I could make a huge list of stuff, but here’s what we’re genuinely looking for these days:

Energy and getting fit – We wrote 5 Health Hacks to Boost Your Daily Energy Levels and people loved it. We need more practical stuff like that
Supplements and vitamins – We’ve covered Vitamin Supplements For The Skin and Health OK Tablet, but there’s way more to say
Skin health from the inside out – Stuff like Stem Cells In Skincare Treatments that actually blew our readers’ minds
Mental health stuff – Anxiety, panic attacks, stress—our piece on Causes of Panic Attack vs. Anxiety Attack got tons of comments
Actual workouts that work – Like Inner Chest Workout but for other areas too
How tech is messing with our health – Remember our article on Affects of Technology In Daily Life? We want more of that
How to actually prevent disease – Not scary stuff, just real prevention
Sleep and recovery – Because most people are doing it wrong
Nutrition that doesn’t suck – Real food, real science, not fad diet garbage
Alternative medicine that’s actually proven – No crystal healing nonsense
Health tips for different people – Kids, parents, older folks, athletes
Local health stuff – Like we have info on Hearing Aids Toronto for local readers

If you’ve got an idea that actually helps people live better, send it our way. Worst case we say no thanks. Best case it changes someone’s life.

What Makes a Good Article for Us

OK so here’s the thing about writing for Vigor Blog. We have some standards, but they’re not crazy:

How long? Aim for somewhere between 1,500 and 2,500 words. If it’s a quick how-to thing, 800–1,200 is fine. Don’t pad it just to hit a number though—that’s annoying to read.

Sound like you: Write like you’re talking to someone. Not a textbook. Not a robot. You. Short sentences work better than long rambling ones. Paragraphs should be like 2–4 sentences max. People read on their phones, not fancy computers anymore.

Don’t copy stuff: This one’s non-negotiable. Your article needs to be actually yours. Not rewording someone else’s thing. Not copying from Wikipedia. We want your brain, your experience, your voice.

Show your work: If you’re making a claim, where’s the proof? Link to studies. Mention where you got your info. Our readers are smart and they appreciate honesty. If you had a bad source, just say so.

Make it readable: Use headings so people can skip around. Start strong. End with real takeaways that matter. Don’t hide the good stuff in the middle.

Keywords should feel natural: Your main topic should show up in the intro, somewhere in a heading, and at the end. But don’t be weird about it. If it feels forced, it’s forced.

Link to our other stuff: When it makes sense, link to other Vigor Blog articles. Talking about energy? Maybe mention our energy hacks piece. Discussing skin? Link to vitamins. This helps readers explore more and honestly helps us too.

Give us your SEO title and description: Tell us what you’d call it in Google (under 60 characters) and write a short thing that would make someone click on it (under 155 characters).

How to Actually Format It

I know formatting sounds boring, but it actually matters when people are reading on their phones:

Headings: Use H2 and H3. Don’t go deeper. People need clear markers to know what section they’re in.

Paragraphs: Keep them short. I know I said this already but seriously, 2–4 sentences. Long blocks of text just don’t work anymore.

Use lists: Bullets for tips and benefits. Numbers for step-by-step stuff. People love lists. They’re easy to scan while eating breakfast or sitting on the bus.

Bold the stuff that matters: If there’s something people really need to remember, bold it. But like, not everything. That defeats the purpose.

Tell stories: Use real examples. Tell what happened to actual people. This is way more interesting than just facts.

Throw in images if you got ’em: Do you have photos or infographics? Send them. Make sure you actually own them or have permission to use them. Royalty-free is good too.

The Link Rules (Keeping It Clean)

Look, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do links:

Our articles: YES. Link to other Vigor Blog posts when it’s relevant. This helps readers and it helps us.

Real health websites: YES. Government sites, medical journals, actual research—these are great. NHS, CDC, that kind of thing.

You selling something: NO. Don’t link to your own product or service. We can smell that from a mile away.

Affiliate links: NO. No commissions disguised as helpful content. People can tell and it’s gross.

Random promotional stuff: NO. Links to your friend’s supplement brand or whatever? Nope.

Your website in the bio: YES. One link. Keep it clean and relevant.

Just think—if this link actually helps the person reading, include it. If it’s just there to make you money or promote something? Don’t do it.

Tell Us About Who You Are

At the end of your piece, write a short author bio. Keep it real. 50–100 words. Include:

Your name and what you actually do
Your qualifications (if you got ’em)
What you’re known for or what you specialize in
Where people can find you

Here’s what it could look like:

Sara’s been a registered dietitian for like 10 years now. She’s worked with athletes, busy parents, basically anyone who wants to eat better without it being a whole thing. She studied nutritional science in grad school but honestly her best education came from helping real people in her clinic. You can find her on LinkedIn or her website.

How to Submit (It’s Actually Pretty Easy)

So you wrote something good. Now what?

Step 1: Send us an email first. Don’t just send the whole article. Subject line should be: “Guest Article Pitch: [Your Headline Here]”

Tell us what the article’s about (just bullet points), why our readers would care, and why you’re the right person to write it. Keep it short.

Step 2: Wait for us to get back to you. We usually respond within like 5–7 business days. If we love it, we’ll say yes. If it’s not quite right, we might suggest changes or pass. No hard feelings either way.

Step 3: Write the full thing. Follow the stuff I mentioned above. Make it good. Make it honest.

Step 4: Send it to us as a Google Doc or Word file. Include your SEO title, your meta description, your author bio, and notes about where you think the internal links should go.

Step 5: We’ll go through it. Might be tiny edits, might be bigger stuff. We’ll tell you what’s happening and when it’s going live. Then you get to brag about it.

That’s literally it.

Why We Need You

Here’s the honest truth—Vigor Blog exists because people like you share what they know. Every single article we publish helps someone. Maybe it helps them have more energy. It stops them from buying a supplement they don’t actually need. Maybe it just makes them feel a little less alone in what they’re dealing with.

Health information is everywhere, but a lot of it is garbage. Expensive garbage. Scary garbage. Misleading garbage. We’re trying to be different. We’re trying to be honest.

If you care about helping people actually feel better, and you want an audience of people who are actually listening and taking action, this is the place. I genuinely think what you have to say could help someone.
