Editorial Team
Our highly-skilled editorial team manages all of our content. Each individual piece of content has several people behind it working to make sure that it’s responsible, accurate, understandable, helpful, trustworthy, comprehensive, up-to-date, and inclusive.
Medical Review Board
Our Medical Review Board—composed of certified physicians across a variety of different specialties—vets content containing statements of medical fact. They work tirelessly to provide the necessary critique that ensures our information is accurate and current.
Content is reviewed by a board-certified physician whose specific area of expertise aligns with the content topic. A Medical Reviewer will confirm that a piece of content—whether article, illustration, video, tool, or other resource—is thorough and contains facts and guidelines that reflect the latest in evidence-based research and health information.
If improvements are suggested, they are shared directly with our editorial team to be addressed and implemented immediately. It is only when a Medical Reviewer approves a piece of content that it is officially stamped as such in the byline.
