At MyMediTimes, our goal is to provide clear, useful, and responsible health and wellness information that helps readers better understand health topics and make more informed decisions.
Because health information can affect important personal decisions, we take accuracy, transparency, sourcing, and editorial integrity seriously.
This Editorial Policy explains how we create, review, update, and maintain content published on MyMediTimes.
Our Editorial Principles
Our editorial process is guided by the following principles:
Accuracy
We aim to publish information that is factually accurate, relevant, and supported by reliable sources.
When discussing medical, nutritional, or scientific information, we prioritize authoritative sources and credible research appropriate to the subject.
Clarity
Health information can be difficult to understand.
We aim to explain complex topics in clear, accessible language without unnecessarily complicated terminology.
When technical medical terminology is necessary, we provide explanations to help readers understand the subject.
Transparency
Readers should be able to understand who created an article, when it was published or updated, whether it has been medically reviewed, and whether commercial relationships exist.
We identify authors and medical reviewers where applicable and disclose affiliate relationships when they exist.
Editorial Independence
Commercial relationships should not determine our editorial conclusions.
An advertiser, affiliate partner, manufacturer, healthcare provider, or other commercial organization does not receive editorial control over our independent content simply because its products or services are mentioned or linked.
Reader First
We create content to help readers, not simply to generate search traffic or promote products.
Our editorial decisions are based on whether a topic provides genuine value to our audience.
How We Select Topics
Topics may be selected based on factors including:
- Questions commonly asked by readers
- Important health and wellness topics
- Gaps in available consumer-friendly information
- New research or developments
- Seasonal health concerns
- Areas where readers may benefit from practical guidance
- Products, services, or healthcare options that consumers may want to understand or compare
Search demand may inform topic selection, but search volume alone does not determine whether MyMediTimes publishes a topic.
We aim to prioritize topics where we can provide useful, original, and responsibly researched information.
How We Research Content
Depending on the subject, our research may include:
- Government health agencies
- Medical organizations
- Academic institutions
- Peer-reviewed research
- Clinical guidelines
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Established healthcare resources
- Manufacturer or provider information for product-specific facts
- Other credible primary or secondary sources
The sources used depend on the topic.
For example, a medical claim may require stronger scientific or clinical sources than a basic lifestyle article.
We do not consider a search engine result, social media post, or anonymous online discussion to be sufficient evidence for an important medical claim by itself.
Use of Sources and References
Important factual and medical claims should be supported by appropriate sources whenever practical.
Sources are selected based on their relevance, credibility, and ability to support the information being presented.
We aim to avoid presenting unsupported medical claims as established facts.
Where evidence is limited, mixed, emerging, or uncertain, our content should communicate that uncertainty rather than presenting the information as definitive.
Medical Review
Some MyMediTimes articles may undergo review by a qualified healthcare professional when the subject warrants additional medical expertise.
When medical review has taken place, the article will identify the medical reviewer and relevant credentials where appropriate.
Medical review is intended to help evaluate the medical accuracy, context, and clarity of the content.
Medical review does not mean that the reviewer personally endorses every product, service, treatment, or commercial recommendation mentioned in an article.
We do not identify an individual as a medical reviewer unless they have actually reviewed the applicable content and possess the relevant qualifications.

Authors and Contributors
Articles published by MyMediTimes may be created by writers, editors, subject-matter contributors, or other members of our content team.
Where applicable, author profiles provide information about the person’s background and areas of expertise.
We do not represent a writer as a physician, healthcare professional, researcher, or other specialist unless the person actually has those qualifications.
We aim to make authorship transparent so readers can better understand who created the information they are reading.
Artificial Intelligence and Editorial Content
Technology, including artificial intelligence tools, may be used to assist certain parts of our editorial workflow where appropriate.
However, tools do not replace editorial responsibility.
Content published on MyMediTimes should be reviewed by a human editor before publication, particularly when it involves health, medical, scientific, or safety-related information.
We do not consider automatically generated text to be a substitute for research, fact-checking, expert judgment, or editorial review.
The final responsibility for published content rests with the MyMediTimes editorial team.
Product Reviews and Recommendations
Some MyMediTimes pages may review, compare, or recommend products, services, healthcare programs, or other consumer options.
Our objective is to provide useful information that helps readers evaluate their choices.
Depending on the category, factors considered may include:
- Product or service features
- Pricing
- Value
- Ingredients or components
- Available evidence
- Transparency
- Accessibility
- Customer support
- Policies and terms
- Potential benefits
- Potential limitations
- Relevant safety information
The criteria may differ depending on the product or service category.
A product’s inclusion does not mean that it is appropriate for every person.
Readers should evaluate their individual circumstances and seek professional healthcare advice when appropriate.
More information is available in our How We Review policy.
Affiliate Relationships
Some links on MyMediTimes may be affiliate links.
This means that MyMediTimes may receive compensation when a reader purchases a product, signs up for a service, or completes another qualifying action through an affiliate link.
Affiliate relationships help support the publication.
However, compensation does not automatically determine whether a product, service, or company is mentioned.
We aim to clearly identify commercial relationships and maintain editorial independence.
For more information, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
MyMediTimes may display advertising or publish sponsored content in the future.
Advertising and sponsorship do not automatically constitute editorial endorsement.
Sponsored content should be appropriately identified so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content.
Advertisers and sponsors should not be presented as independent editorial sources simply because they have a commercial relationship with MyMediTimes.
More information will be available in our Advertising Policy.
Updating Published Content
Health information can change over time.
We may update articles when:
- New evidence becomes available
- Medical recommendations change
- Important information becomes outdated
- Product or service details change
- Pricing changes
- Links become unavailable
- Errors are identified
- Readers provide credible correction requests
When appropriate, updated articles display a revised date.
We do not change publication dates simply to make old content appear new without making meaningful editorial changes.
Corrections
We take factual errors seriously.
If we discover an error, we aim to correct it as soon as reasonably possible.
Depending on the nature of the issue, we may:
- Correct the information directly
- Add clarification
- Update the article
- Add an editorial note
- Issue a correction
- Remove inaccurate information
Readers who identify a potential error can contact our editorial team.
See our Corrections Policy for more information.
Conflicts of Interest
Writers, editors, contributors, and reviewers should disclose relevant conflicts of interest when they could affect the interpretation or presentation of content.
A financial relationship, personal interest, professional relationship, or other relevant connection may require disclosure or additional editorial safeguards.
We aim to prevent commercial interests from compromising the accuracy or independence of our content.
What We Do Not Promise
Health information is continually evolving.
Although we make reasonable efforts to research and maintain our content, we cannot guarantee that every article will remain completely current at all times or that information will apply to every individual’s circumstances.
MyMediTimes is an informational publication and does not provide individualized medical diagnosis or treatment.
Reader Feedback
We value feedback from our readers.
If you believe an article contains inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or unclear information, please contact us and provide:
- The article URL
- The specific information you believe is incorrect
- An explanation of the concern
- Supporting evidence or sources, if available
Our editorial team will review credible correction requests.
