Biohack Yourself Media is thrilled to welcome our newest journalist, Courtney McGee — a storyteller, truth-seeker, and passionate advocate for wellness and policy reform. With a career that bridges the worlds of national newsrooms and maternal wellness, Courtney joins the team with a sharp investigative mind and a deeply personal connection to the health stories shaping our nation.

A classically trained actress-turned-journalist, Courtney’s journey into the world of news was anything but conventional. "I’ve always loved telling stories," she shares. Her early love for performance transformed into a deeper craving: to understand and explain the forces shaping our lives. As she puts it, “I wasn’t watching movies the way I used to — I was glued to the news.”

That shift led her to Hofstra University, where she earned her master’s in journalism, and then to NBC News, where she cut her teeth as an associate producer in the fast-paced Investigative Unit. There, she covered a wide spectrum of topics, from politics to public sector industries — but it was health care that truly ignited her passion. “I was hearing from real people how chronic illnesses, surprise medical bills, and an ever-changing healthcare system were making their lives a living hell,” she says. “I wanted to help expose that.”

That mission became personal in 2020, when Courtney became a first-time mother during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though she had always considered herself healthy and well-informed, a diagnosis of gestational diabetes shook her. “It was the first time, at 28 years old, that I realized food was actually impacting my body,” she recalls. “How, in years of schooling, did I not come across that?”

Refusing to take insulin as a shortcut, she dove into nutritional science, obsessively tracking her blood sugar and reading every book she could find on the links between food, metabolism, and long-term health. “That diagnosis changed everything,” she says. “It cracked open a whole world I didn’t know existed.”

Since then, Courtney’s journey has expanded alongside her family — she’s now the mother of three girls under the age of five — and her commitment to health literacy has only deepened. After stepping back from the newsroom to focus on raising her young children, she continued writing for political think tanks, all while navigating the exhausting maze of feeding her family clean food, minimizing pharmaceutical dependence, and limiting screen time in an increasingly toxic environment.

Now, she brings that passion and real-world experience to Biohack Yourself Media — just as a new presidential administration ushers in sweeping changes to healthcare and wellness policy. “I’m so excited to help break down these changes and explain what they mean for you — your family, your business, your wallet,” she says.

In her new role, Courtney will be reporting on the intersection of health and politics, translating complex legislation, executive orders, and government policy into actionable information for the Biohack Yourself community. But her work won’t stop at headlines and soundbites.

“I’m not just reporting — I’m living it,” she emphasizes. “Like many of you, I’m trying to give my kids the healthiest lives possible in this ultra-processed, over-medicalized world.”

That dual identity — as both reporter and mother, investigator and patient — makes Courtney uniquely qualified to speak to the challenges and opportunities that modern families face. Through her reporting, she hopes to illuminate how government decisions impact personal health, while also offering glimpses into the real-life strategies she’s testing at home.

Expect to see regular breakdowns of national health developments, investigative deep-dives into pharmaceutical and food industry influence, and first-person dispatches from the frontlines of conscious parenting.

“Biohack Yourself isn’t just a media brand — it’s a movement,” she says. “What drew me here was the mission to bring wellness to everyone – to make it easier for everyone to take their health into their own hands and start making decisions that are best for them, not for some company’s bottom line.”

For Courtney, this role goes far beyond a career move — it’s a personal mission. “I see this as a chance to connect the dots between journalism and wellness through stories that educate, uplift, and activate,” she explains. “No matter where you are on your health journey — seasoned biohacker or brand new to the space — my goal is to make you feel informed, supported, and energized for what’s ahead.”

With her sharp journalistic instincts, lived experience, and fierce commitment to truth, Courtney McGee is poised to become a powerful new voice in the wellness world — and a trusted guide for families navigating the health decisions that matter most.
