Editorial & review policy

Health information can affect real decisions about your body, so we hold it to a higher standard than a typical blog. This is the promise behind every page.

1. Everything is sourced

Factual health and fitness claims are tied to recognised authorities โ€” such as the CDC, the American Heart Association, the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Health, or peer-reviewed studies โ€” and we name those sources at the end of each guide so you can check them yourself.

2. No hype, no fear

We don't publish miracle cures, crash diets, or scare tactics. If a claim sounds too good to be true, it doesn't go on the site. We'd rather be useful than viral.

3. We keep it current

Health guidance evolves. We revisit our guides as the evidence changes and show a "last updated" date on each one, so you always know how fresh the information is.

4. We're clear about our limits

Our content is general education, not personalised medical advice. We flag when something requires a professional, and we never position ourselves as a substitute for your doctor or a registered dietitian.

5. Corrections

If we get something wrong, we want to fix it. Found an error? Tell us via our contact page and we'll review it promptly.

A note on growth

As NORTHBODY grows, our goal is to add qualified medical and nutrition professionals to formally review our content. Until then, we are transparent that our articles are written and fact-checked by our editorial team against primary, authoritative sources.
