Why a Pen Name?
We use one pen name so the site speaks with one consistent voice. We say so openly because on a health site you should know exactly who is, and who is not, behind what you read.
How We Work
- Every medical claim is tied to a published source, and we link the key studies in the text.
- We say how strong the evidence is: a clinical trial, a review, a lab study or expert opinion.
- Food ratings come from one consistent food database, and we note that tolerance varies from person to person.
- Supplement doses are only described as the amounts used in studies, never as a personal plan.
- Articles that discuss symptoms, tests or supplements tell you when to see a doctor.
- We update articles when the research changes or a reader reports a mistake.
The full process is described in our editorial policy.
