Reviewed by a named clinician
Every article is signed off by a practising board-certified specialist — not a medical writer. Their name appears under the headline so you know who approved it and in which fields.
Every claim traced to its source
We link every factual statement to its primary source — peer-reviewed journals, official health authority guidelines, or named clinical experts.
Updated when the evidence changes
Medicine moves fast. We flag articles for review whenever major guidelines are updated and add a visible 'last reviewed' date so you always know how fresh the information is.
