These principles guide the content we are developing for YearsWell Health.
Evidence and sourcing
Substantive health claims should be supported by linked sources. We prioritize public health agencies, clinical guidance, systematic reviews, and relevant original research. A single study should not be presented as settled guidance.
Accuracy and uncertainty
Content should distinguish association from causation, describe meaningful limitations, and avoid promises about individual outcomes. Recommendations and treatment information must be checked against current guidance before publication.
Authorship and review
Author and contributor information must be accurate. A medical review label is used only after an appropriately qualified professional has reviewed the article. AI assistance does not constitute medical review.
Commercial transparency
Advertising, sponsorship, and affiliate relationships must be clearly identified wherever they apply. A paid placement must not be presented as an independent editorial recommendation.
Updates and corrections
Articles should show their publication date and the date of any substantive update. Identified factual errors should be corrected, with a correction note when the change materially affects the reader’s understanding.
Scope
Our content is for general education. Decisions about symptoms, medications, or treatment belong in a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional who understands the reader’s circumstances.
Longevity and emerging science
We distinguish human research from animal and laboratory studies. Changes in biomarkers or biological-age estimates must not be described as proof of a longer life. We explain study design, population, limitations, and funding where relevant. Speculative findings and unproven interventions must be identified as such. We never invent sources, expert credentials, quotations, or research results.
