Editorial Policy for Longevity Doctor
Longevity Doctor publishes evidence-led educational content in a sensitive health niche. This editorial policy explains how we research topics, assess evidence, update material, and present uncertainty so readers can understand our standards before relying on any page as a starting point for further research.
How our review process works
Our editorial workflow is built around source quality, factual clarity, and risk explanation. We begin with topic research using peer-reviewed studies, major medical journals, and public-health guidance where relevant. Drafts are then checked for factual consistency, balanced interpretation, and clear distinction between established guidance, emerging evidence, and speculation.
For higher-risk health subjects, we aim to align our explanations with reputable bodies such as the NHS, NICE, the NIH, and the WHO when those sources are relevant to the topic.
What we prioritise in health content
We favour pages that help readers understand evidence quality, realistic benefits, limitations, contraindications, and when medical supervision matters. We avoid framing speculative interventions as established treatments, and we do not treat anecdote as a substitute for clinical evidence.
When a topic is uncertain, early-stage, or controversial, we say so clearly. Where a claim lacks convincing evidence, we aim to reflect that in the article rather than overstating confidence.
Source hierarchy
Peer-reviewed studies, public-health agencies, and reputable medical bodies take precedence over marketing claims and unsupported opinion.
Reader safety
We explain where self-experimentation can be risky and remind readers when a qualified clinician should be involved.
Transparent updates
Key pages are reviewed and updated when stronger evidence, regulatory changes, or material factual corrections are needed.
Corrections and updates
If we identify a factual error, a misleading statement, or an outdated citation, we revise the page as quickly as practical. Important pages may also be refreshed when new evidence changes the balance of benefits and risks or when major health authorities update their recommendations.
Readers who spot a possible issue can use our contact page to report it for review.
Independence and disclosure
Some site pages may contain affiliate links, but commercial relationships do not override our obligation to explain risk, uncertainty, and evidence quality. Our broader disclosure standards are outlined in our medical disclaimer and affiliate disclosure.
