Editorial Mission
You know the basics when it comes to being healthy: exercise, don’t eat too much junk, drink less booze, get some sleep, repeat. Taking your health to the next level? That’s more complicated. And more fun.
Health is personal. You can get data on your heart rate, your hormones, your workout effort and recovery, and your blood sugar. You can tweak your diet and your training based on that data.
That’s where we come in.
The Edge delivers science-backed, expert-driven content to help you optimize your healthspan and your lifespan.
Our editorial team—award-winning journalists (we’ve previously crafted content for Men’s Health, Gear Patrol, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Women’s Health, Men’s Journal, Runner’s World, Popular Science, and more) who are immersed in wellness—dig into the latest health discoveries, test new gear, and constantly talk to leading physicians, nutritionists, dieticians, and fitness pros.
We boil that knowledge down into tips and advice. You’ll know exactly what to eat, buy, and do to achieve your goals.
We’ll share what you need to know, but also how to act immediately with this new knowledge. If a study shows HIIT workouts are better for weight loss, we’ll explain why, then give you a bespoke workout created by our in-house certified trainer. You can put our tips into motion the minute you read them.
Society makes men feel embarrassed about weight gain, a lagging libido, fatigue, or depression. There’s no room for stigma here.
Our content helps you make informed decisions about what does—and doesn’t—work for you. We meet you where you are, whether you’re deeply interested in hormones or looking for the best sneakers for leg day.
The Internet is full of information that’s misleading, biased, or plain wrong. Not here. Our expert-backed reporting about health, nutrition, fitness, and gear that’s rooted in science, facts, and rigorous reviews. You’ll see citations, studies, and reference material clearly.
