Julia Belluz is Vox's senior health correspondent, and as such her works on the website tend to be focused on anything regarding health and perception of the body. This varies from myths about vaccines and autism to the effects of a ketogenic diet to Grindr revealing its users' HIV status to third party companies. A general trend among her articles seems to be common misconceptions about health and faults in popular health trends, and as a result she makes articles to show the truth. Belluz uses a wide variety of research to explain health problems and also show possible alternatives. For example, in her article "The Keto Diet, Explained" she tells that although the diet is not a viable long term option for weight loss, it can help lower epileptic seizures and ease the effects of type 2 diabetes (with the downside of lowering glucose intolerance in the long run and possible kidney stones). In, "Grindr is Revealing its users' HIV status to third-party companies" she proposes the "Safe" app as an alternative to Grindr's STD awareness problems. Finally, in "Researchers have ditched the autism-vaccine hypothesis. Here’s what they think actually causes it." in an attempt to prevent childhood deaths from lack of vaccination, she uses research to prove that not only are vaccines not the cause of autism, but it is actually genetics that are the biggest factor to blame. Outside of genetics however, chances are that environmental causes happen during pregnancy, not after.
