Editorial Policy
How we research, write, check and update every article, including our use of AI tools.
Trust matters more than anything else on a health website, so here is exactly how our content is made.
Who writes our content
Articles are published under the name "Her Wellness Years editorial team." Drafts are produced with the help of AI writing tools. A human editor then rewrites, restructures and checks the draft before it goes live. We are a small independent team, not a medical practice. Our content is not written or reviewed by a physician or registered dietitian, and we will tell you if that changes.
Our sourcing standards
- We rely on government health agencies (NIH and its institutes, CDC, FDA, MedlinePlus), major academic medical centers (Mayo Clinic, Harvard), professional societies (American Academy of Dermatology, The Menopause Society, American Heart Association) and peer-reviewed research indexed in PubMed.
- Every article lists its sources at the bottom, and important claims link to them in the text.
- When we cite a single study, we describe its size and limits. One small trial is a hint, not proof.
- We do not use sales pages, testimonials or influencer content as evidence.
What we fact-check
Before publishing, an editor checks that numbers (doses, recommended amounts, ages), definitions and safety warnings match the cited source, that no sentence promises a cure, treatment or guaranteed result, and that every link opens.
How we write about supplements and products
Reviews explain what the seller claims, what independent research says about the listed ingredients, and what remains unknown. Unless a review clearly says otherwise, we have not tested the product ourselves; reviews are based on the seller's published information and the research we cite. We never repeat weight-loss numbers, timelines, celebrity names or testimonials from sales videos. Reviews never display ads.
Affiliate links and advertising
Some reviews and a few clearly labeled boxes contain affiliate links. A disclosure always sits next to them, and the links are marked so search engines know they are paid. Earning a commission never changes our conclusions; a product that does not fit a reader is described that way. Ads may appear on informational articles only. See our affiliate disclosure.
Updates and corrections
Health guidance changes. We review articles periodically and update the date at the top when we make a meaningful change. If you find an error, email hello@herwellnessyears.com. We correct factual errors promptly.
Medical advice
Nothing on this site is medical advice. Please read our medical disclaimer.
