Editorial Standards
Science Backed. Expert Reviewed. Reader Focused.
Optimized health starts with smarter content.
Health is personal. Your body’s unique chemistry—hormones, metabolic markers, and other key biomarkers—shapes how you feel, perform, and age. Understanding what’s happening under the surface is the first step to optimizing it.
That’s where we come in.
The Edge delivers science-backed, expert-vetted content designed to help you optimize your lifespan (how many years you live) and your healthspan (the number of them spent in good health).
Our stories are crafted by experienced journalists who’ve written for outlets including Men’s Health, Women’s Health, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, SHAPE, Prevention, Health, Popular Science, Reader’s Digest, Yoga Journal, and more.
We dig into the latest research on topics like hormone health, longevity, and weight management, interviewing physicians and other licensed healthcare providers and experts to simplify complex health information without cutting corners.
The result? Actionable advice that empowers you to achieve your health goals.
At The Edge, our mission is to deliver health content that’s as personal, dynamic, and nuanced as our readers. We’re guided by these core values:
Information is only as valuable as what you can do with it. That’s why we focus on giving you clear practical steps you can apply to your life today—no vague tips or filler.
We go beyond surface-level explanations to unpack the science behind complex health conditions. We dig into studies with a critical eye, ask experts the tough questions, and highlight both what’s known and what’s still emerging.
We know health can feel overwhelming because we’ve been there, too. That’s why we meet you where you are. We don’t shy away from the topics others tiptoe around—aging, menopause, low testosterone, weight gain. We treat them with the honesty, respect, and nuance they deserve.
Trust is non-negotiable. That’s why we’re clear about where our information comes from, citing every study, expert, and source we rely on. We also believe in human-powered journalism—our content is crafted by real people (not AI), grounded in original reporting, expert interviews, and rigorous research.
We hold our content to the highest journalistic standards. Our process includes thorough research, expert interviews, and medical reviews, with regular updates to reflect new scientific findings. Our goal is simple: to provide trustworthy information that empowers you to make informed decisions about your health.
Celebrating Patient Success
Some of our content is generated by people who have seen the transformative impact of evidence-based care first-hand. These stories are written in the first person and fact-checked for accuracy. They reflect personal experiences but should not be considered medical advice.
