ABOUT US
About Health Med News
We publish plainly written health reporting for people trying to make sense of conflicting advice – and we tell you where our money comes from.
Why we exist
Health information online has a credibility problem. The most confident claims are frequently the least supported, the sources are often unnamed, and the line between an article and an advertisement is deliberately blurred.
Health Med News was set up around three commitments. Say what the evidence actually supports, including when it is weak or contested. Name and link the sources so a reader can check us. And label paid content unmistakably, at the top of the page, so nobody is misled about what they are reading.
What we cover
Four sections, chosen because they are where readers over 40 are most often given confident advice with the least evidence behind it:
- Nutrition & Diet — what to eat, and which claims hold up.
- Weight Loss — mechanisms rather than motivation.
- Muscle Loss — sarcopenia, explained without jargon.
- Healthy Ageing — energy, strength and mobility.
How we work
Every article is researched against current guidance from recognised health bodies — among them the National Institute on Aging, the NHS, the World Health Organization and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. Each piece is reviewed before publication, carries a visible last-updated date, and lists its sources so you can read them yourself. Where the evidence is genuinely uncertain we say so rather than manufacturing confidence.
How we make money
We earn revenue from advertising. Where a page is paid for by an advertiser we label it as such, clearly and at the top, so you always know what you are reading.
Advertisers have no input into our articles: not the topics, not the conclusions, not the wording. If that ever changes, this page will say so.
What we are not
We are a publisher, not a clinic. Everything here is general information for education only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and no article can account for your history, your medication or your circumstances. Always speak to a qualified clinician before acting on anything you read here, and never delay seeking medical help because of it.
