Editorial Standards

Effective Date: January, 2025

Purpose of Our Content

Health Doc publishes educational content intended to help individuals better understand scientific and medical research related to nutrition, dietary supplements, and general health. Our goal is to explain complex research clearly and responsibly, enabling readers and viewers to engage more thoughtfully with health information.

All content produced by Health Doc is educational in nature. It is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace care from a qualified healthcare professional.

Editorial Oversight and Accountability

All educational content published by Health Doc is developed and reviewed under the editorial oversight of an actively practicing, licensed physician. The responsible author retains full accountability for the accuracy, balance, and context of the information presented.

Health Doc does not publish anonymous medical content. Educational materials are reviewed with an emphasis on scientific integrity, appropriate interpretation of evidence, and clear communication of limitations and uncertainty.

Content Development Process

Health Doc content is developed using a structured, evidence-focused process designed to prioritize clarity, accuracy, and balance.

This process includes:

  • Review of peer-reviewed scientific and medical literature
  • Preference for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical guidelines when available
  • Consideration of study design, population relevance, and limitations
  • Translation of complex findings into plain, accessible language
  • Presentation of both potential benefits and known limitations of interventions discussed

Health Doc may use artificial intelligence–based tools to assist with research organization, literature review, summarization of scientific findings, visual presentation, and content structuring. These tools are used to improve efficiency and clarity, not to replace human judgment. All educational content is ultimately written, reviewed, and approved by the responsible author, who retains full editorial and scientific responsibility.

Accuracy, Review, and Updates

Educational content is reviewed prior to publication. Health Doc makes reasonable efforts to ensure information is accurate and reflects the current state of scientific understanding at the time of publication.

As evidence evolves, content may be updated to reflect new research, clarify interpretations, or correct errors. When inaccuracies are identified, corrections are made with the goal of maintaining clarity and integrity.

Advertising, Sponsorship, and Editorial Independence

Health Doc may produce or sponsor educational content related to its areas of focus. Sponsorships and affiliations are disclosed where applicable.

Editorial decisions are made independently of commercial considerations. Educational content is not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or product relationships, and products are not presented as treatments, cures, or substitutes for medical care.

Medical Disclaimer

Health Doc content is provided for general educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.

Individuals should consult a qualified healthcare professional who is familiar with their personal medical history before making decisions related to health, supplements, or treatment.

Intended Audience and Use

Health Doc content is intended for a general adult audience seeking educational information about health and wellness topics. Content is not designed for emergency situations, individualized medical decision-making, or use as a substitute for professional care.
