About Interwoven Living

A quiet place where personal health and the living world are treated as the same story.

I’m Bethany, a scientist and writer. My training is in the biological sciences, with a background in systems biology and human health. By day, I work with data on aging, longevity, and resilience. In the margins, I write about how our bodies respond to a changing planet—storms, smoke, screens, solitude—and how small, doable choices can help us stay steady inside it.

Who I Am

I’ve spent years working with data on health and aging. The numbers matter, but they’re not the whole story. What stays with me are the lived patterns beneath them: people adapting to heat and smoke, communities navigating instability, bodies responding—again and again—to environments under strain.

I started Interwoven Living to bring those threads together—science, story, and the places we move through—without pretending the world is simpler than it is.

Stories and ideas you’ll find here

Here you’ll find essays and field notes about:

  • How bodies respond to changing conditions—storms, smoke, seasons, and screens

  • The ecological patterns that echo through our inner lives

  • Health, aging, and resilience as lived, not abstract, experiences

  • Communities and systems under stress, and the quiet ways people adapt

  • The everyday practice of weaving science and story together

All of it grounded in a belief that personal health and the living world are part of the same story.

If you’d like to follow along

For now, the best way to wander deeper is to explore the Writing, Journals, and Art pages here, or read my essays on Medium. As this site grows, I’ll add more ways to stay in touch.
