This page explains how Vital Signs Today produces, sources, reviews, and corrects its content. We hold ourselves to it on every article.
Evidence first
We prioritize primary sources: peer-reviewed studies, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and official guidance from bodies such as the FDA, NIH, CDC, and major medical societies. When we cite a study, we link to it. We tell you the study size, design, and limitations rather than reporting a single number out of context.
Plain English, no hype
Health science is full of jargon and overstated headlines. We translate findings into clear language, separate correlation from causation, and flag when evidence is early, mixed, or industry-funded.
Who writes our content
Articles are produced by the Vital Signs Today editorial team: health journalists and science writers. We are reporters, not clinicians. We do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Where a topic involves clinical decisions, we point you to qualified healthcare professionals and cite the relevant guidelines.
Independence
Our editorial coverage is independent. If an article ever contains affiliate links or sponsored material, we will disclose it clearly within that article. Sponsorship never determines our conclusions.
Corrections and updates
Medicine changes. We date our articles and update them as new evidence emerges. If you spot an error, email us via our Contact page and we will review it promptly. Substantive corrections are noted on the article.
Our Editorial Board
Vital Signs Today is produced and reviewed by our Editorial Board: a team of experienced health journalists, science writers, and editors who focus on metabolic health, biomarkers, GLP-1 medications, diagnostics, and longevity. Every article passes board review before it is published and is checked against peer-reviewed research and guidance from bodies such as the NIH, FDA, and CDC.
Our board members are reporters and editors, not your treating clinicians. We explain the evidence and link our sources so you can verify every claim and discuss it with a licensed healthcare professional. Our content is for information only and is not medical advice.
