About
Lisa Conant is an eclectic writer with a diverse repertoire including everything from health care to automotive topics, travel, household-related subjects, leadership blogging, and more. Originally from Canada, she currently hangs out in New Hampshire with her two kids and two freeloading cats.
Experience
Lisa got her start writing original weekly health care content for patients, which she has done for over 20 years. She is an expert in anatomy, physiology, neurology, human biomechanics, and holistic health, working directly with patients for almost two decades to help them overcome serious health issues in an array of different practice settings. She has spoken at numerous conferences and post-graduate institutions on various health topics. In addition, she has also served as a double-blind peer-review journal editor for several prominent scientific journals.
An avid automotive enthusiast who grew up on a farm in Canada, where her family was always tinkering with some car, truck, tractor, or other piece of farming machinery, Lisa has always had an interest in automotive topics. She has written automotive pieces for more than 5 years, and she believes it’s vital for women to know their way around a car to be empowered to make solid, confident decisions without being taken advantage of.
Lisa also spent three years living full-time on a 40-foot sailboat exploring 15 different countries with her children and spouse, which gave her an in-depth taste for travel and piqued her passion for an often misunderstood industry. She loves figuring out lesser-known locations that give folks a taste of the true culture of a place.
Education
Lisa earned a Bachelor of Science in human biology and a doctorate of chiropractic, both from Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri.

Best DIY Advice
“Quit while you’re ahead. DIY-ing a project doesn’t have to be perfect, and in fact, it rarely ever is. Know when to call it ‘great enough’ and save your sanity. Don’t be too hard on yourself for the inevitable mistakes you make along the way; it’s all part of the learning curve.”
