Our Editorial Process

Every article goes through a five-stage process from concept to publication.

01

Topic Research

We identify topics based on reader questions, current nutrition research and gaps in existing content. We only commission articles where peer-reviewed evidence is available.

02

Expert Assignment

Each article is assigned to a contributor with direct credentials in the topic area — fasting articles to our metabolic health researchers, cooking technique articles to our professional chefs.

03

Evidence-Based Drafting

Writers draft the article referencing primary sources — peer-reviewed journals, government health databases and established clinical guidelines. We do not cite other blogs as sources.

04

Editorial Review

A second credentialed team member reviews the article for accuracy, clarity and completeness. Health claims are checked against current consensus. Preliminary or contested findings are clearly labelled.

05

Publication & Maintenance

Published articles are monitored for new research. We update articles when significant new evidence emerges and clearly mark the date of each update.

Our Content Standards

The principles that govern what we publish and how we say it.

📚

Primary Sources Only

Every health and nutrition claim links to peer-reviewed journals (PubMed, NEJM, Cell Metabolism, etc.) or established health authorities. We do not cite secondary sources as evidence.

⚖️

Consensus vs Emerging Research

We clearly distinguish between established scientific consensus and preliminary or emerging findings. Contested claims are framed with appropriate uncertainty.

🚫

No Sponsored Editorial

We do not accept payment to write articles about specific products, brands or services. Advertising (where present) is clearly separated from editorial content.

🔄

Regular Updates

Articles are reviewed and updated when significant new research is published. The review date is shown on every article.
