Editorial standards

Here's what goes into every article we publish, and the promises we keep to you.

Trusted sources

Health information in our articles comes from published research and trusted sources: peer-reviewed studies, government health agencies like the NIH and CDC, major medical centers and established health organizations. We list our sources at the end of each article, with links.

We never make up studies, numbers or statistics.

Practical, and kind

• Every article ends with one small habit to try this week.
• We always share an easier version, so there's a step for every starting point.
• We celebrate small progress and never use guilt or shame.

Health claims

• We never promise a cure.
• We never tell you to stop, start or change a medication. That's a decision for you and your doctor.
• We always mention when it's time to check in with a doctor, and when something needs urgent care.

Bylines and dates

Every article carries a byline and shows the date and time it was published. When we update an article, the update date shows up too.

Updates and corrections

When new research changes the advice, we update the article instead of writing a new one. If you spot a mistake, please tell us at contact@goodbodyjournal.com which article and what looks off. A corrected article shows the date it was updated.

Products

An article about a specific product always starts with a disclosure of our business relationship and the standard FDA statement for dietary supplements. We don't publish testimonials, and we never claim a product treats, cures or prevents a disease.
