By Hadia Zainab Verified
| The Epoch Times
A multi-billion-dollar industry is growing around the idea that the body’s own cells can help repair what medicine still struggles to treat. However, as stem cell clinics continue to expand, the gap between what is being promised and what science can currently prove is also widening.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

PR pros! If you're reaching out with a pitch, please make sure it aligns with the topics I cover -- primarily health, wellness, mental health, and lifestyle. I appreciate concise, well-targeted pitches that clearly explain the angle and why it’s timely or relevant.

What's your favorite social network?

LinkedIn has to be my favorite social network. That's where I got to connect with so many amazing people from my profession across the world. It has always been a pleasure to interact with different audiences and meet such talented people.

Why did you become a journalist?

I’ve always believed that health information should be delivered with empathy, clarity and in a way people can genuinely understand. Journalism allows me to combine that belief with my passion for patient education -- sharing credible, up-to-date insights with a broader audience. Over time, I’ve built meaningful connections with both experts and the public, and I value those conversations as much as the stories themselves. I’m grateful to work in a field that I love every bit as much as my rehabilitation career.
