LifeTrusty Editorial Policy

How LifeTrusty researches, writes, reviews and discloses every health, fitness and nutrition guide we publish.

Last Updated: September 25, 2026

Our Commitment to You

This LifeTrusty editorial policy documents the rules every guide on lifetrusty.com must follow — written by The LifeTrusty Health/USA Team so you can check us against them. Our promise is simple: publish content that is clear enough to act on, sourced well enough to trust, and honest about where the evidence stops.

• Clarity over hype: plain U.S. English, short steps, realistic expectations.
• Sources you can check: claims are linked to public health bodies and peer-reviewed research.
• Independence: no advertiser, sponsor or affiliate partner can buy a conclusion.
• Honest limits: every health guide points to professional care where it belongs.

Nothing in this Editorial Policy changes the terms in our Medical Disclaimer.

Who Writes and Reviews Our Guides

LifeTrusty is an independent editorial publication. Our contributors write and edit within the areas they research well, and health topics receive an extra review pass before publication.

• Writers: turn a real reader question into a guide, in plain language, with sources linked.
• Editors: check structure, clarity, tone, and whether any sentence reads like medical advice.
• Research and fact-check: verify claims against primary sources and flag weak, mixed or outdated evidence.
• Updates: revisit older guides when guidelines, evidence, prices or product information change.

Where a contributor has a relevant professional background or a financial interest in a topic, it is disclosed on the article itself. Meet the process behind the articles on our LifeTrusty Team page.

How We Create Content

Every published guide follows the same sequence:

1. Question first. We start with a question people actually ask, not with a keyword list.
2. Research. We gather primary and authoritative sources, and note where evidence is thin or still evolving.
3. Draft. A writer produces the guide with defined terms, realistic expectations and actionable steps.
4. Edit and fact-check. A second person reviews claims, links, structure and any health-related wording.
5. Disclose and date. Advertising or affiliate placements on the page are labelled, and the article carries a date.
6. Review. Guides are revisited when better information becomes available.

The same standards apply to every topic we cover, on every page of the site.

Sourcing and Evidence Standards

We prefer sources that are primary, current and independently verifiable over marketing claims — including claims made by brands we may link to.

• Public health first: guidance from bodies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the CDC and the FDA carries more weight than manufacturer copy.
• Peer-reviewed research: systematic reviews and randomized trials are preferred over single studies or press releases; a single small study is never presented as settled science.
• Primary over secondary: when a study exists, we link the study rather than an article about the study.
• Attribution: we quote sparingly, cite the original, and never copy-paste another site’s wording or a brand’s sales copy as editorial.
• Uncertainty stated: when evidence is mixed, contested or missing, the guide says so instead of implying certainty.

Health Topics and the Limits of General Information

Health content receives extra caution because it affects real decisions.

• Not medical advice: guides are general and educational, written for a broad adult audience; they never diagnose, prescribe or tell a reader to start or stop a treatment.
• Professional care: where a topic needs a licensed professional, the article says so and points the reader there.
• Individual variation: age, medical conditions, pregnancy, medications and goals all change the answer, so we describe ranges and conditions rather than one-size-fits-all instructions.
• Emergencies: we do not publish content that could delay emergency care; readers in an emergency are directed to call 911.

Advertising, Affiliate Links and Editorial Independence

Editorial coverage is not for sale. This section of the Editorial Policy is written to meet FTC endorsement and disclosure guidance.

• Labelled advertising: display ads and affiliate links are identified as advertising or as affiliate links wherever they appear.
• No pay-for-play: we do not accept payment for a positive review, a higher rating, a softer verdict or the removal of a fair criticism.
• No brand copy: sponsored or pre-written brand content is never published as editorial.
• Commissions: following an affiliate link never costs you more, and it never changes our conclusions.
• Same standard for everyone: a product’s advertising status has no effect on how it is covered.

Artificial Intelligence and Automation

We use software to help with research, structuring and first drafts. Nothing is published automatically.

• Human accountability: a person reviews every factual claim, every source link and every sentence that could be read as medical guidance before publication.
• No generated experts: we do not fabricate quotes, credentials, studies or personal experiences.
• Corrections still apply: if an error appears, the same correction process below governs the fix.

Corrections and Updates to the LifeTrusty Editorial Policy

We correct the record when we get it wrong.

• How to report: send the article URL and the problem through the contact page.
• Priorities: factual errors, unsafe instructions and broken sources are fixed first, typically promptly after verification.
• Material changes: significant corrections are noted on the article and dated.
• Updates: older guides are refreshed when guidelines, prices or evidence change, and the “Last Updated” date is refreshed.
• Retraction: if a guide cannot be salvaged, we unpublish it rather than leave misleading information online.

What We Don’t Do

These rules apply to every guide we publish, on every topic:

• We don’t publish miracle claims, guaranteed outcomes or fear-based headlines.
• We don’t pass advertising or affiliate placements off as editorial recommendations.
• We don’t present general information as a substitute for personal medical advice.
• We don’t invent sources, quotes, credentials or study results.
• We don’t publish content we wouldn’t follow ourselves.
