Frequently Asked Questions

What Simply Wellness does, what it deliberately avoids, and where its material comes from.

Is Simply Wellness telling readers what to eat or take?

No. The articles explain where a claim came from and what the evidence around it can support. That is a different job from advice. No piece here recommends a food, a supplement, a routine, or a purchase, and nothing on the site is a substitute for a conversation with a qualified clinician.

Does debunking a claim mean the opposite is true?

Rarely, and that distinction matters. Showing that a slogan outran its evidence does not establish the reverse. Most of these topics end in a narrower, duller statement than either side would like — which is usually where the accurate answer lives.

How are topics chosen?

Familiarity does most of the selecting. A claim earns a piece when it is widely repeated, has a traceable origin, and has more nuance behind it than its usual phrasing admits. The reader's list of things they already half-believe is the working brief.

What sources are used?

Public-health bodies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and the original papers wherever they can be obtained rather than a news write-up of them. When a claim's history is commercial rather than scientific, the advertising record is a source too — and it is labeled as such.

Does Simply Wellness sell anything?

No. There are no products, no affiliate links, and no sponsored articles. Simply Notes is a free note-taking companion that makes no health claims of its own. The newsletter is a summary of published pieces and nothing else.

Can readers suggest a claim or flag an error?

Yes, and errors especially. Write to contact@simplywellness.cfd with the claim or the correction. Individual health questions cannot be answered — those belong with a clinician — but a claim worth tracing is always welcome.

Reminder: Simply Wellness publishes general education about health claims and evidence. It is not medical advice and not a substitute for professional care.
