Editorial standards
Health advice is everywhere, and a lot of it comes from someone whose credentials you can’t check. Our content is sourced from peer-reviewed research and read by a licensed clinician before it’s published. Here’s how it works.
Last updated 10/26/26.
Where our information comes from
When you search anything about your health, you’ll get plenty of results to sort through with no clear way to judge them. Everything we publish that contains health information shows you where it came from and who reviewed it.
We rely on primary sources, which means peer-reviewed journals, systematic reviews, clinical practice guidelines from medical societies, and government health agencies like the CDC, the NIH, and the FDA. At times we also draw on our own clinicians, attributed by name in the article.
We avoid consumer health blogs and content aggregators, and we don't treat press releases or company-funded research as independent evidence. When we cite a study, we link to the study, so you can read it yourself.
Our voice and tone
We aim to write in a voice that is:
- Expert, but not hiding behind jargon
- Warm, but not performative
- Judgment-free
- Honest, but not alarmist
- Confident, but not overpromising
- Inclusive, written for every reader who finds it
- Trustworthy, but not a substitute for care from a doctor who knows you
Our editorial process
Step 1
We do the research
A writer with a health and science background reviews the current guidelines and the primary research on the topic.
Step 2
A licensed clinician reviews it
It goes to a licensed physician on our care team, who reads it for clinical accuracy and checks that every claim matches its source.
Step 3
We fix it and check it again
The writer and the reviewing clinician go back and forth until they both sign off, ensuring it meets our clinical standards.
Step 4
We keep reviewing after publish
Guidelines change, so we review our library against current recommendations, and update or retire what's out of date.
