Why trust us

Editorial standards, written down

Health publishing has a credibility problem. Our answer is procedural: every piece follows the same path from claim to publication, and every correction is logged in public.

Read our full standards
01

Sourced to primary research

We cite trials, cohort studies and clinical guidelines — never another wellness blog. Links go to the paper, not a summary of it.

02

Reviewed by a clinician

A practising physician or registered dietitian signs off on every article before it publishes, and again at each annual review.

03

No commercial steering

We take no supplement or pharmaceutical advertising. Where a product is mentioned, we say plainly whether we profit from it.

The Digest

A calmer read on health, twice a month.

One essay, three studies worth knowing about, and an honest note on what we got wrong. About 12,000 readers. Unsubscribe in one click.
