Health information affects real decisions, so we hold our content to clear standards. This page explains how we choose topics, how articles are researched and reviewed, and how we correct mistakes.
Our standards
- Accuracy first. Claims are checked against primary sources such as peer-reviewed studies, clinical guidelines and official health bodies. A search result or a competitor’s article is never treated as proof.
- Honest about uncertainty. We say when evidence is strong, limited, early or mixed, and we avoid overstating results.
- Clinical-safety boundaries. We do not diagnose, prescribe, or advise readers to start, stop or change a medication. Where a topic involves medication or red-flag symptoms, we direct readers to their doctor.
- No fear, no hype. We avoid alarmist language, miracle claims and “one weird trick” framing.
- Plain language. We explain medical terms and keep articles practical.
How an article is made
- Topic and reader research: we study the questions people actually ask and what existing content misses.
- Content brief: we plan what the article must cover and which claims will need careful verification.
- Research and verification: every important claim is checked against its source. Claims about medications, dosing, drug interactions or warning symptoms require confirmation from the full primary source.
- Writing: articles follow a consistent structure, including a quick answer, practical guidance, safety information where relevant, FAQs, a medical disclaimer and a list of references.
- Independent quality checks: drafts go through two separate reviews, one for evidence, accuracy and clinical safety, and one for clarity, readability and editorial quality.
- Human final approval: no article is published without final human approval.
We may use digital tools, including AI-assisted tools, to support research and drafting. They never replace verification or human review, and every article is checked and approved by a person before publication.
Review labels
- Fact Checked: factual claims have been checked against reliable sources.
- Evidence Based: the article is built on peer-reviewed research and clinical guidelines, listed in its References section.
- Medically reviewed: Dr. Amarinder Singh, BNYS, FMCN has reviewed the article for clinical accuracy and safety.
Sources we rely on
We prioritise systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials, clinical practice guidelines, and publications from government and international health bodies. Every article lists its references so you can check them yourself.
Updates and corrections
Health evidence changes. We review articles when new research or guidance appears, and the “Updated” date on each article shows when it was last revised. If you spot an error, email hello@healifewellness.com. We review every correction request and update the article where needed.
Independence, advertising and affiliate links
