Living Healthy Advice publishes plain-English guides about heart health and nutrition. This page explains who produces them, how they are produced, and what we will and will not do. If anything here does not match what you find on the site, we want to know.
Who publishes this
Living Healthy Advice is an independent publication. It is not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any food manufacturer, supplement company, laboratory, clinic, or healthcare provider. Nobody pays us to recommend a product, and no brand has been given editorial input or approval over anything published here.
We publish under a single masthead — the Living Healthy Advice Editorial Team — rather than individual bylines. We are writers and researchers, not clinicians. Nobody on this site is a physician, a registered dietitian, or a licensed healthcare professional, and we do not claim clinical credentials we do not hold. That is the reason we do not give medical advice.
How our articles are produced
Articles on this site are drafted with AI assistance and reviewed before publication against a fixed editorial standard. We think readers are entitled to know that, so we are saying it plainly rather than leaving it to be inferred.
The standard every article is held to:
- No medical advice. We do not diagnose, we do not recommend treatment, and we do not promise health outcomes. We describe what published research and health authorities say, and we point you to your own doctor for anything about your body specifically.
- No invented figures. We do not publish statistics, nutrition numbers, or per-brand values that we cannot trace to a source. If a number appears here, it came from somewhere you can check.
- No fabricated expertise. We do not invent authors, credentials, medical reviewers, or testimonials. The masthead is the masthead.
- Sourcing to named authorities. Health claims are attributed to organizations such as the American Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health, PubMed Central, Harvard Health Publishing, and the Mayo Clinic — and linked, so you can read the original rather than take our word for it.
Why use AI at all? Because it lets a small independent publication cover a subject thoroughly and keep the guides current, at a level of detail that would otherwise be out of reach. It does not change what we are willing to publish. The rules above exist precisely because drafting assistance makes it easy to produce a great deal of text quickly, and volume without accuracy is worth nothing to a reader trying to make a decision about their own health.
What we cover, and what we do not
We cover food, labels, shopping decisions, and the everyday habits around heart health — the practical end. We explain the underlying biology where it helps you understand why a recommendation exists, because a reason you understand is easier to act on than a rule you have been handed.
We do not cover diagnosis, medication decisions, dosing, supplement protocols, or anything that belongs in a consulting room. If an article seems to be drifting toward telling you what to do about a medical condition, it is wrong and we would like to hear about it.
Money
This site carries advertising. Ads are served by third-party networks and are not endorsements — we do not choose which advertisers appear, and an ad appearing beside an article says nothing about the article. Where we mention a product category, we are describing what to look for on a label, not steering you to a brand that paid for placement.
Corrections
If a figure here is wrong, a source has been superseded, or a link is broken, tell us and we will fix it. Health guidance changes as evidence changes, and a page that was accurate in 2024 may not be accurate now. Corrections are made to the article itself rather than quietly deleted. You can reach us through the contact page.
The short version
We are an independent publisher, not a clinic. Our articles are AI-drafted and held to rules about sourcing and claims. We do not invent numbers or credentials. Nothing here is medical advice, and none of it is a substitute for talking to a doctor or a registered dietitian who knows your history.
