Editorial Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026.
This page explains how Carolyn Wellness creates, reviews, updates, and corrects content. Our goal is to publish clearly written, useful, and trustworthy general wellness content. We pair careful editorial standards with a friendly, plain-language voice.
Editorial independence
Our editorial team makes content decisions independently of our business and advertising teams. Advertisers and sponsors do not direct or pre-approve our editorial coverage. Sponsored content is clearly labeled and held to the same accuracy standards as our editorial content.
Who writes our content
Our content is written and edited by staff editors, contributing writers, and subject-matter contributors with relevant backgrounds in nutrition, behavioral science, fitness, sleep science, lifestyle journalism, or public health communication. We are not licensed clinicians, and our content is general wellness information, not personalized advice.
Sourcing and review
We rely on broadly accepted public guidelines, reputable consumer-health publications, and the practical experience of our contributors. When we summarize complex ideas, we aim to keep them faithful to mainstream consensus and we avoid overclaiming.
What we will not do
- We do not promote specific products as cures or treatments;
- We do not publish claims about diagnosing, treating, curing, or preventing any medical condition;
- We do not publish “before/after” weight-loss promises or quantified health-outcome claims;
- We do not exaggerate the strength of evidence or use scare tactics;
- We do not present sponsored content as editorial content.
Updates and corrections
We periodically review and refresh articles to keep them current and accurate. If we make a material change to an article after publication, we note it at the bottom of the article. If you spot a mistake, please contact us — we read every report.
Reader-first writing
Our voice is clear, friendly, and respectful. We try to avoid jargon, fear-based framing, and assumptions about a reader’s background, body, or goals. We invite questions and feedback.
