About Daryn Mayer

Daryn Mayer is a media contributor, nutritionist, and founder of You Fortified™ — a lifestyle-focused media content and experiential platform dedicated to making Everyday Living Well feel more approachable, attainable, and enjoyable.

Created by Daryn at 40, You Fortified™ was built as a platform to discover and share thoughtfully selected products, foods, technologies, and modern innovations designed to support wellness, longevity, and lifestyle in form and function.

After returning to school to study nutrition and health counseling, Daryn realized that one of the most important foundations of living well begins with what we put into our bodies every day — and how those choices can impact how we feel, function, age, and show up in the world.

A skin cancer survivor at 30, Daryn experienced firsthand the effects unhealthy lifestyle habits, overly processed foods, and everyday lifestyle stressors can have on overall health and wellbeing. By becoming more intentional about wellness, nutrition, and lifestyle, she saw how positive daily choices could support energy, skin health, recovery, healthier aging, and overall quality of life.

A former television news and lifestyle producer for FOX 5 New York, Daryn also worked alongside Martha Stewart and the team at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, where she developed a deep appreciation for how thoughtfully integrating good things into everyday life could help elevate confidence, homekeeping, cooking, entertaining, and everyday living.

Today, Daryn combines her background in lifestyle media storytelling, nutrition, and experiential events to help consumers discover products, ideas, innovations, and experiences that support modern living in form and function.

Through You Fortified™, Daryn showcases thoughtfully selected products, foods, technologies, expert insights, and recipe inspiration designed to support modern living in form and function.

Daryn is also passionate about pet wellness and supporting animal rescue initiatives that help shelter dogs find loving forever homes.
