Chloe Dobinson
Chloe Dobinson covers health within a wider lifestyle brief, using everyday choices about food, money and travel to deliver clear, service-led advice for readers of the Daily Express. Her pieces lean on simple actions and accessible products, such as a cholesterol-lowering breakfast that is low-cost and requires no cooking, to make health guidance easy to follow. Her work consistently links wellbeing to practical changes in routine, spending and habits.
Service-led health and lifestyle coverage
Chloe writes health content as part of a broader lifestyle patch, focusing on how diet, nutrition and daily habits affect long-term wellbeing.
She frequently covers health topics alongside beauty and real-life stories, framing medical or wellness advice within the context of everyday life rather than specialist clinical reporting. Professional listings describe her remit as spanning health and medicine, life, nutrition and food, positioning her as a lifestyle reporter who treats health as one strand of a wider brief.
Her coverage favours clear, actionable guidance over abstract discussion, with headlines that promise specific outcomes or warnings, such as advice-led pieces on healthy diets and safety around outdoor activities.
Consumer guidance on money, food and everyday life
Money and consumer questions sit alongside health in Chloe’s reporting, with her author bio noting that she covers lifestyle topics including money and travel as well as health. Recent work includes straightforward explainers on UK passport fees and how to secure a new passport for free, reflecting a focus on cost, value and process for general readers. Food and drink are recurring themes, and she has written guidance for people planning barbecues, highlighting important safety advice around cooking outdoors. In a co-bylined piece on feeding birds in domestic gardens, she reports expert warnings about disease transmission linked to flat bird feeders and similar equipment, turning niche guidance into accessible consumer information. Across these subjects she treats everyday spending, leisure and household decisions as points where simple advice can reduce risk or improve quality of life.
Real-life and travel features
Real-life narratives and travel stories form another strand of Chloe’s lifestyle beat. Professional profiles note her interest in entertainment, culture, style, real estate and food and drink, which broaden the scope of her coverage beyond pure service journalism.
Her recent work includes a feature on moving from London to Dubai, exploring the gap between expectations and reality for an expatriate and showing how big life changes affect day-to-day experience. She also covers travel news and lifestyle angles on holidays and trips, connecting destinations and transport issues back to practical implications for readers.
These pieces balance reported detail with lived experience, keeping the tone grounded in how decisions play out for ordinary people.
Production and lifestyle editing background
Chloe combines reporting with a strong production background, working as a lifestyle reporter for the Daily Express across UK and US editions while also serving as a digital production editor at Reach. Before moving into this dual role, she worked as a production editor at The Sun, giving her experience in shaping copy and packages across a national newsroom.
She later joined Metro.co.uk as a digital sub-editor covering lifestyle, features, sport, news and entertainment, and contributed to its online lifestyle section. These roles mean she approaches stories with an eye for both audience need and presentation, aligning health and lifestyle coverage with format, headline and timing.
Her portfolio now spans health, beauty, food and drink, travel and real-life features, anchored by production skills that keep her reporting tightly edited and reader-focused.

Alex Storey
Alex Storey is a journalist at LBC whose work is driven by specific cases that test professional conduct and accountability in health and the public sector. He covers health as his main beat, focusing on the point where individual decisions by clinicians or officials meet public trust in institutions. His reporting is incident-first and case-led, using concrete episodes to show how rules, ethics and policy work in real life. Recent pieces include a disciplinary case where a nurse was struck off after linking a patient’s cancer to Covid jabs, and coverage of civil servants being “paid to play Grand Theft Auto” as “lived experience” training. Across these stories, he examines how professionals, regulators and officials explain their decisions, and what that reveals about trust, responsibility and the standards expected of people in positions of authority.
Alexandra Thompson
Alexandra Thompson is an assistant news editor focused on health who treats health claims as hypotheses to be tested rather than messages to be repeated. She works at New Scientist, combining editing with frontline reporting on ageing brains, cognitive health, chronic illness, contested treatments and infectious disease. Her beat centres on how neuroscience and psychology intersect with everyday health choices and on how scientific findings translate into real-world outcomes for people living with illness. She examines lifestyle advice, rehabilitation programmes and outbreak guidance against current evidence, clarifying risk without overstating it and giving space to controversy without sensationalising it. Alongside written news she appears in audio and video formats, bringing the same clear, news-driven approach to live discussions and helping shape the daily health agenda while keeping a tight focus on evidence and impact.
Alice Wilkinson
Alice Wilkinson investigates how everyday habits, products and routines shape sleep and long-term wellbeing, using test-driven health features to separate hype from real benefit. She holds a senior role on The Telegraph’s health features team, writing and shaping consumer-focused coverage that blends personal trial with clear expert evidence. Her core beat is sleep as a practical, solvable part of daily life, from detailed comparisons of magnesium supplements to service pieces on how sleeping position affects health over time. She treats supplements as a crowded, over-claimed market that demands careful testing and clear-eyed reporting. Alongside long-form features she writes weekly health desk dispatches on sleep, stress and concentration. Across her work she combines substantial self-testing, specialist insight and plain, unfussy prose to give readers measurable, realistic changes they can make.
