Editorial Policy | YourHealthier

What this page is — and why it exists

We sell supplements. That means every health claim we make on this site carries weight — and potential consequences if we get it wrong. This page explains how we research, write, fact-check, and update the articles on YourHealthier. If something looks off in any of our content, tell us.

Where our information comes from

Short version: PubMed, or it didn't happen.

Every health claim in every article links back to a specific peer-reviewed study, a clinical institution database, or an official regulatory source. We pull primarily from PubMed and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — these are our non-negotiables. We also reference clinical guidance from Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, the FDA, and WHO when the topic calls for it. For deeper pharmacological context or mechanism-of-action detail, we'll draw from journals like Nutrients, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, or Frontiers in Pharmacology, and from Examine.com's evidence summaries (which themselves cite primary research).

What we don't cite: health influencers, anonymous blog posts, Reddit threads, or anything without a named author and a verifiable methodology. Doesn't matter how popular the source is.

How an article gets written here

It starts with a PubMed search. Literally — someone sits down and reads papers. We look at study design first (randomized controlled trial vs. observational vs. in vitro), then sample size, then who funded it. An RCT with 150 participants carries more weight in our writing than a mouse study, no matter how promising the mouse study sounds. If there's a systematic review or meta-analysis available, that goes to the top of the pile.

Then the writing happens. We stay inside FDA structure/function claim guidelines, which means we can say "berberine may help support healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range" but we cannot say "berberine treats diabetes." That line matters, and we're careful about it. Every article includes the full FDA disclaimer at the bottom — not buried in 8px font, but visible.

Citations go inline. If we state a number, a mechanism, or a clinical outcome, there's a hyperlinked source within the same paragraph. We also include a complete References section at the end of each article, formatted with author names, journal, year, and PubMed links. You shouldn't have to take our word for anything.

Medical review

Our health content is reviewed on a rolling basis by Kelsy Camilo, MS, RDN, CDN — a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist licensed in New York State (CDN License #010821, NPI 1689326035). Kelsy's clinical background includes Medical Nutrition Therapy at Morristown Medical Center, and she holds credentials from the Commission on Dietetic Registration. Articles that have completed her review carry a visible "Medically Reviewed" badge at the top of the page with her name and credentials.

Her role is to flag inaccurate claims, verify that our citation of clinical data is correct, and push back when we overstate what the evidence supports. She has full editorial independence — we don't tell her what to approve.

Updates and corrections

Research moves. A paper gets retracted, a new RCT contradicts an older finding, a dosage recommendation shifts — and when that happens, we update the article. Every piece of content on this site displays its original publication date and its most recent update date. We don't quietly edit old articles and pretend they were always right. If we got something wrong, we fix it and note the change.

The conflict of interest you should know about

We'll be direct: YourHealthier manufactures and sells the supplements discussed on this website. We earn revenue when you buy something through a product link in our articles. That's a financial incentive, and you should factor it into how you evaluate what we write.

Here's what we do to keep that incentive from corrupting the information:

Our product formulations are based on dosages and ingredients from published clinical trials — not proprietary blends designed to cut costs. We have zero financial relationships with the researchers, universities, or institutions we cite. None. And every batch of every product is tested by an independent ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, with certificates of analysis published at Lab Results. We'd rather lose a sale to honesty than gain one from hype.

This is not medical advice

Nothing on this website replaces a conversation with your doctor. Full stop. Our content is educational — it's meant to help you understand the research so you can have better conversations with a qualified healthcare provider. If you're pregnant, nursing, on medication, or managing a diagnosed condition, please talk to your physician before adding any supplement to your routine.

Something wrong? Tell us.

If you spot an error, a broken citation link, an outdated claim, or anything that doesn't look right — reach out. We take corrections seriously and will update the content promptly. That's the whole point of having an editorial policy in the first place.
