About our editorial policy

We are dedicated to providing you with valuable resources that educate and empower you to live better. We reference authoritative sources that provide additional value, and we also enforce a tiered review process in which at least three individuals — one or more being licensed clinical experts — review and edit each piece of content before it is published. In addition, we frequently update old content to reflect the most up-to-date information. Read more about our editorial policy today.
