Alice Porter is a journalist who covers health, fitness and wellbeing, among other topics. Alice has bylines at publications including Fit & Well, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, VICE and Refinery29, among other titles, and was invited to speak on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour in 2022. She was previously a staff writer at Stylist Magazine, covering news and lifestyle.
Alice has a first-class honours degree from the University of Manchester began her career in 2020, initially focusing on women’s health, but now writes about other topics including hormones and sleep, nutrition and weight training, with a particular interest in women’s experiences of health and fitness. Putting her screen time to good use, Alice also regularly writes about TikTok and the internet, often trying out the most weird and wonderful fitness and food trends.
When she’s not writing about these topics, you can probably find her at her local CrossFit box or scouting out the best long walks. Although she has somehow trained herself into becoming a morning gym person, her weekends are usually focused on catching up on sleep with a good lie-in, draining the battery of her massage gun in front of the TV and maybe a yin yoga session.
