About Steve
Steve’s background combines biomedical research, immunology, physiology, and science communication.
After earning his Ph.D. and Master’s degrees from Laval University, he continued his academic training through postdoctoral research and later worked in biomedical research and immunology. His experience includes scientific literature interpretation, assay development, method validation, and evidence-based scientific communication.
Steve created Mindful Living Choice to make complex biology easier to understand without flattening the science. His editorial approach is mechanism-first. Instead of asking only whether something “works,” he looks at what may be happening biologically, what the evidence actually supports, where the science is still early, and where marketing claims move faster than the data.
At The Berkeley Well-Being Institute, Steve contributed as a food ingredients specialist, helping translate ingredient and nutrition-related science for a broader audience.
Beyond his scientific and editorial work, Steve is a father of four. His goal with Mindful Living Choice is not to promote miracle solutions, but to help readers better understand the biology behind health, resilience, and long-term function.
