The 25 Best Health Blogs
By Paul Richlovsky | March 25, 2008
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but reading a good blog every day can keep you well-informed with enlightening commentary. It may even prove to keep the doctor away, too. Recently I put together a rigorous list of the 25 best health blogs, and I’d like to share the apples with you.
The all-English-language honorees were chosen with the following criteria in mind:
- frequent, regular posting (daily/near-daily)
- quality design (readable, pleasing to the eye, no overwhelming advertising/clutter)
- distinct viewpoint
- depth and breadth of health commentary
If you prefer audio-visuals, check out my interview of Jim Kukral, Fathom SEO Internet video marketing specialist and blogging strategist. We talk about the qualities of good blogs.
Finally, with 120,000 healthcare blogs out there, ask yourself, Why aren’t I blogging? Or, Does my blog distinguish itself from the masses? Let this guide tell you.

Paul,
Excellent and extremely helpful post. With so many people using the Internet for their own health research (and finding information that isn’t always exactly helpful or true), it’s good to know there are resources out there that promote those blogs that are worthwhile.
Nice guide…keep ‘em coming.
