Editorial Process & Standards

In an era dominated by fad diets, marketing hype, and unsubstantiated wellness claims, Her Well Journal is committed to absolute scientific integrity. Every article, ingredient evaluation, and clinical guide we publish passes through a rigorous multi-stage editorial and clinical vetting process before it reaches our readers.

1. Who Reviews Our Content?

Every piece of clinical content on Her Well Journal is drafted, reviewed, or validated by credentialed healthcare professionals, including:

• Clinical Pharmacists (PharmD): To analyze active biochemical compounds, dosage safety, bioavailability, and drug-nutrient interactions.
• Endocrinologists & Gynecologists (MD/DO): To ensure all hormone-related guidance matches modern endocrine standards and safety protocols.
• Metabolic Health Researchers: To evaluate molecular mechanisms, mitochondrial pathways, and insulin sensitivity clinical trial data.

2. Our Source Vetting Standards

We do not rely on anecdotal evidence or secondary summaries. All claims on Her Well Journal are cited directly to peer-reviewed, indexed scientific publications. Our primary sources include:

• The National Institutes of Health (NIH / PubMed)
• The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
• The Journal of the Endocrine Society
• The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) guidelines

Every clinical trial we cite must include its PubMed ID (PMID), allowing readers to instantly click and review the abstract and study design.

3. Strict Supplement Claims Compliance

Under FTC and FDA guidelines, we maintain strict editorial independence. We do not promote products as "cures" or "treatments" for any endocrine disease. We evaluate active compounds solely based on clinical trial efficacy, dose alignment, and purity vetting.

4. Our Continuous Update Cycle

Endocrinology and metabolic science are constantly evolving. To maintain authority, we implement a structured review cycle:

• Core Protocols Vetting: Reviewed every 6 months to incorporate newly published clinical trials or updated consensus guidelines.
• Biomarker Reference Ranges: Verified annually against the latest diagnostic criteria from clinical pathology networks (such as Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics).
• Affiliate Integrity Audits: Vetted monthly to ensure recommended clinical brands have not altered their ingredient formulas or manufacturing standards.
