This Editorial Policy explains how Doctor Wellness Journal researches, writes, reviews, and updates health content, and how we handle corrections and affiliate relationships. It complements our About Us page and full Medical Disclaimer.
1. Who Writes Our Content
Doctor Wellness Journal is written by a small editorial team, not by physicians. Daniel Hart covers men’s urinary and prostate health; Claire Morgan covers diabetes symptoms and blood sugar basics. We do not present our writers as doctors, and we do not attribute content to fictional “medically reviewed by” credentials. Every article is signed with the name of the person who wrote it.
2. How We Research and Write
Every article starts from a real, common question. We research it using peer-reviewed studies and recognized medical organizations, and we cross-check claims across at least two independent sources before publishing. Sources are linked directly in the article text so readers can verify them.
Our primary reference sources are PubMed-indexed research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH/NIDDK), the NHS, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and relevant professional bodies such as the American Urological Association. We do not cite a study we have not read, and we do not invent statistics or quotes.
Content is written in plain language, and we clearly separate what is well-established in the medical literature from what is still uncertain or debated.
3. Review Before Publishing
Before an article is published, it is checked against the sources cited, checked for consistency with our other articles on the same topic, and checked for language that could be read as diagnosis, treatment advice, or a guarantee of outcomes — none of which this site provides.
4. Updating Existing Content
Medical understanding changes over time, so published articles are periodically revisited. We update content when: underlying guidance from a source we cite has changed, a factual error is identified, or a section is found to be unclear or incomplete. When we make a substantive update, we update the visible date on that article. We do not change the visible “Updated” date without a real, substantive edit to the content — a form of manipulation we consider unacceptable.
5. Corrections
If you believe an article contains an error, email doctorwellnessjournal@gmail.com. We review every report. Confirmed errors are corrected, typically within 7 days, and significant corrections are noted on the article itself.
6. Affiliate Links and Editorial Independence
Some articles contain affiliate links, disclosed at the top of the article where they appear. Affiliate relationships never determine which products we mention or how we describe them — a company cannot pay for inclusion or for a favorable review. Our product evaluation criteria are published on our review checklist and are applied consistently, whether or not an affiliate relationship exists.
7. What We Don’t Do
We do not diagnose conditions, recommend treatment plans, or tell readers to start or stop any medication or supplement. We do not publish content that requires medical licensure to give responsibly. Where a symptom could indicate a medical emergency, we say so directly and point readers to seek in-person care rather than continue reading.
