HealthyYouNow
A pioneering health and wellness platform that helped women navigate their health journeys
2009 - 2019
What Was HealthyYouNow?
HealthyYouNow was an online health and wellness platform dedicated to helping women—particularly women of colour—navigate the often confusing world of fitness, nutrition, and wellbeing. Founded in 2009, the site provided cutting-edge health news and practical information designed to make healthy living accessible to everyone.
At its core, HealthyYouNow believed that healthy women make healthy families, and healthy families make healthy communities. The platform covered everything from nutrition and exercise to mental wellness and preventive health, always with a focus on practical, actionable advice.

The Founder
Tonya Lewis Lee
Producer, Writer, Entrepreneur & Health Advocate
Tonya Lewis Lee is an award-winning producer, writer, and longtime health advocate. Beyond founding HealthyYouNow, she served as National Spokesperson for the "A Healthy Baby Begins With You" campaign with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health.
Her advocacy work has taken her across the country, encouraging women to prioritise their health whilst also pushing for systemic change in healthcare access.
"I manage a website because I feel a sense of accomplishment from motivating women to live their healthiest lives—because I know healthy women make healthy families make healthy communities."
— Tonya Lewis Lee, HuffPost"There's a real need that cannot be met simply by telling people to eat better and exercise. We need systemic structures that allow women and men access to quality health care, healthy foods and safe spaces to exercise."
— Tonya Lewis Lee, TIMEThe Mission
HealthyYouNow was built on the belief that everyone deserves access to clear, trustworthy health information. The platform tackled topics that mainstream health media often overlooked, providing culturally relevant content that resonated with its audience.
From understanding food labels to finding time for fitness in a busy life, HealthyYouNow met women where they were—not with judgement, but with practical guidance and encouragement.
While the original site is no longer active, the mission of accessible health education continues. The resources below carry forward that same commitment to helping people make informed decisions about their health and nutrition.
