Editorial Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Our Commitment to Quality

At Living & Health, we are committed to accurate, practical, and responsible lifestyle and wellness guidance. We are a magazine, not a medical provider, and our content is not a substitute for professional care.

Content Creation Process

  1. Topic Selection: Topics are chosen based on reader interest, practical relevance, and evidence quality.
  2. Research: Writers consult peer-reviewed journals, government agencies (NIH, CDC, WHO, NHS), and major medical organizations when health claims are discussed.
  3. Writing: Content is written in clear, accessible language with realistic, safety-first framing.
  4. Editorial Review: Editors review for source quality, clarity, and conservative wording.
  5. Fact-Checking: All claims are verified against primary sources. Statistics and study findings include citations.
  6. Publication & Monitoring: Published articles include the date of last review and are updated when new evidence emerges.

Source Standards

We prioritize the following source types:

  • Peer-reviewed medical journals
  • Government health agencies (NIH, CDC, WHO, NHS)
  • Established medical organizations and associations
  • Academic institutions and recognized research groups

AI-Assisted Content Creation

Some content on Living & Health is drafted with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. However, every AI-generated draft undergoes the same rigorous editorial process as human-written content:

  • AI drafts are reviewed and edited by human editors for accuracy, tone, and completeness
  • Medical claims are independently verified against primary sources by our editorial team
  • AI output is never treated as a source and unsupported claims are removed

AI helps with drafting efficiency, but publication always depends on human editorial judgment and sourcing standards.

Corrections Policy

If you identify an error in our content, please contact us. We take corrections seriously and will update content promptly, noting the correction date and nature of the change.

Advertising & Sponsorship

Advertising and sponsored content do not influence our editorial decisions. Sponsored content is clearly labeled. Our editorial team operates independently from our business team.
