Health blogs that accept guest posts are easy to find and harder to judge. On my list, re-checked live in September 2026, 179 sites are tagged health: 133 were live and 74 had a domain authority of 40 or more. Examples include thealternativedaily.com, artofliving.org and blog.ideafit.com. Always check each site's current guidelines before you pitch.
If you're searching for health blogs that accept guest posts, you're probably doing one of two things: building links for a client in the health space, or trying to get your own name in front of new readers. Either way, a long list isn't the goal. A short list of sites that are alive and relevant is.
This page pulls the health sites out of my free list of websites that accept guest posts, which I re-checked site by site in September 2026.
How many health blogs on my list still accept guest posts?
| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Health sites on my list | 179 |
| Live when checked | 133 |
| Live with DA 40 or more | 74 |
| Dead or parked | 46 |
So roughly 26% of the health sites were dead or parked. That's why a list you haven't checked recently costs you time: every dead site is a pitch nobody reads.
Which health blogs accept guest posts?
Here are twelve live health sites from my list, with their domain authority when I checked:

The list also includes very large health publishers such as Psychology Today and mindbodygreen, which have their own expert contributor processes. Guidelines change, so read each site's current write for us page before you pitch.
What should you pitch to health blogs?
Angles that tend to land in this niche:
- Fitness and training advice from a qualified coach
- Healthy eating and recipes with a clear reason behind them
- Health tech and digital health for healthcare professionals
- Workplace wellbeing for business owners and teams
What do health blog editors expect from guest posts?
Health is a niche where accuracy matters more than anywhere else. Editors expect claims to be backed up by credible sources, and many want the writer to have a relevant qualification or to have the post reviewed by someone who does.
Avoid miracle claims and anything that sounds like medical advice for an individual. A health post that overpromises gets rejected, and it can damage the site that publishes it.
Should you guest post for free or place a sponsored post in health?
Both work, for different jobs. Free editorial guest posts on health blogs take time: you pitch, wait, rewrite and sometimes hear nothing. They're worth it for your own name and long-term relationships. Sponsored posts are faster and more predictable, which is why agencies and link builders working to client deadlines use them. Whichever you choose, the checks below still apply, because a fast placement on a dead site is still wasted.
How do you check a health blog before you pitch?
- Search site:domain.com. If very few pages are indexed, move on.
- Read the three newest posts. If they're all thin sponsored articles, your post will sit in bad company.
- Check traffic by country. Make sure the readers are where your client's customers are.
- Find a name. A real editor is worth more than a form that never replies.
- Ask if posts are permanent. Some sites prune old content.

Can you place a health post on my blog?
Often, yes. lilachbullock.com is a marketing blog that's been publishing since the dial-up days, with thousands of indexed articles. My readers are business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs, with the majority in the USA and the UK. Health topics fit best when they have a business angle: running a health business, marketing it, or the tools behind it. Guidelines for this niche are on my health and fitness pages.
How placing a post on my blog works
- Email [email protected], or start on my write for me page, with your target URL, topic and niche.
- I reply with whether it fits and which format I'd pick: a new sponsored post or a link insertion into an existing, indexed article.
- You send the article, or I choose the right existing article for your link.
- I edit, publish and send you the live URL.
Accepted posts usually go live within 24 to 48 hours of everything being agreed. Placements are permanent. I invoice by PayPal, and if you're an agency, I never contact your client.
