Medical review process

Medical review is an article-level status, not a blanket claim. We only label a page "medically reviewed" when a named, credentialed clinician has reviewed that version.

What gets reviewed

The following content categories are prioritized for independent clinical review and should not carry a medical-review label until that review is complete:

• Symptoms, screening, and early-warning posts (cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mental health).
• Medication, supplement, and dosing guidance.
• Chronic disease management content (hypertension, cholesterol, autoimmune conditions, etc.).
• Pregnancy, postpartum, pediatric, and geriatric-specific content.

Who reviews

Reviewers are licensed clinicians (MD, DO, RD, RN, NP, PA, PharmD, or equivalent) practicing in the relevant field. Each reviewed article carries the reviewer's name, credential, and review date in the byline.

How to read our labels

• Medically reviewed means a named clinician reviewed that article version.
• Evidence reviewed means the editorial team checked the main claims against the sources listed on the page; it does not mean a clinician reviewed it.
• If neither label appears, the legacy article has not yet completed the current review workflow.

What reviewers check

• That the medical claims are consistent with current guidelines.
• That doses, timings, and ranges are accurate and safe.
• That risk groups and contraindications are mentioned where appropriate.
• That the article does not encourage readers to delay or avoid professional care.

Limitations

Clinical review confirms that an article is consistent with mainstream evidence at the time of review. It is not personalized medical advice. See our medical disclaimer.
