Our Medical Review Board is made up of board-certified physicians, registered dietitians, health coaches, and other medical experts. Members of the Review Board vet content containing medical facts and health claims, and work around the clock to provide the necessary critique that guarantees our information is up-to-date, accurate, and verified by primary sources.
If improvements from the Review Board are suggested, our editorial team addresses and implements them immediately. It is only when a reviewer approves content that it is officially marked as “Medically Reviewed.”
When it comes to your health, the truth is what matters. Our team of experienced fact-checkers separates fact from fiction for you, providing a critical step in our commitment to content integrity. (We’ll admit we’re a bit obsessive when it comes
to details.)
Fact-checkers diligently review medical statements, claims, and recommendations for accuracy and timeliness. We rely on only the most current and reputable primary references, including peer-reviewed medical journals, government organizations, academic institutions, and advocacy associations. All primary and secondary sources are listed both inline and at the bottom of every piece of content.
In addition to the expertise of our Medical Review Board, we fact-check medical statements, claims, and suggestions with the most up-to-date primary references, including peer-reviewed medical journals, government organizations, academic institutions, and advocacy associations. On all content you read, primary sources are listed both inline and towards the bottom of the article — we want our readers to feel empowered to delve deeper into the medical literature and hold us accountable to these high standards.
Information changes over time; it’s inevitable. Working closely with our fact-checkers and our Medical Review Board, our team re-evaluates our existing content every few months to ensure all information is updated and reflective of the most current research, guidelines, and statistics.
When necessary, content is re-worked, re-edited, and re-certified by our Review Board. In the event that you happen across any information that looks outdated or inconsistent, please don’t hesitate to reach out at feedback@welltheory.com — we’re always seeking to improve.
