Medical Review Process
At The Edge, accuracy is non-negotiable. We follow a meticulous reporting process to ensure the content we publish is rooted in credible, up-to-date scientific evidence. Our writers incorporate the latest research and interview medical professionals to gather original insights on health conditions and treatments. This approach ensures our content reflects expert perspectives rather than simply compiling information from existing sources.
Before publication, all content is medically reviewed by licensed practitioners who critically evaluate it for accuracy and relevancy.
Scientific Integrity
Our medical review team examines every citation to confirm it meets strict research standards:
Peer-Reviewed Sources: We prioritize studies published in reputable, peer-reviewed journals.
Statistical Significance: We highlight studies with statistically significant results.
Sample Size: If a study includes fewer than 100 participants, we note this directly in the article to provide context.
Timeliness: We prioritize research published within the last five years. When older studies are cited, we clearly explain their relevance and whether scientific understanding of the topic has evolved.
Contextual Clarity: We assess whether the cited research aligns with the broader scientific consensus, providing context when findings are new, controversial, or evolving.
Peer Reviewed for Accuracy
In addition to assessing the latest research, our physician and clinician reviewers critically evaluate the viewpoints of their peers. When reviewing quotations from our sources, they fact-check claims, analyze differing expert opinions, and identify nuances that might be overlooked.
Subject Matter Expertise
Our medical review team are experts in the content they review. They understand the nuances of each topic, providing authoritative, specialized insights that enhance content quality.
Weight Management: Gastroenterologists, nutritionists, personal trainers
Hormone Health: Endocrinologists, urologists, gynecologists
Longevity: Functional medicine practitioners, integrative medicine doctors, and anti-aging physicians
Considering Real Patient Experiences
Clinical expertise goes beyond textbooks. Our medical reviewers are practicing physicians who offer perspectives grounded in evidence-based medicine and real-life patient outcomes.
When reviewing content, these physicians consider how treatments and health recommendations play out in actual practice. If a doctor has seen a medication consistently deliver positive results, that firsthand knowledge helps shape their expert input. Additionally, Hone is actively studying patient data to gain real-world insights, particularly in hormone health and longevity, which further strengthens the credibility and relevance of our content.
