Elena Bridgers

Elena Bridgers is a science writer, consultant, and content creator focusing on women's wellness and maternal mental health. Drawing on her background as a social entrepreneur in global women's and children's health, spanning many continents and cultures—Elena’s work is rooted in the concept of evolutionary mismatch—a theory that examines how contemporary lifestyles diverge from those our ancestors evolved to thrive in. She applies this lens to maternal mental health, exploring how the child-rearing practices and social structure of hunter-gatherer societies contrast with the expert-driven and isolated nature of modern motherhood.
