1. Topic Selection
We choose topics that are relevant to adult women and to the everyday experience of health and wellbeing, with particular attention to the years between 35 and 65 and beyond. We prioritise questions that readers commonly ask and topics where clear, calm explanation is genuinely useful.
2. Sources
We rely on publicly available information from recognised health organisations and peer-reviewed research, including:
- National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
- Office on Women's Health
- American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
- American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Peer-reviewed studies relevant to the specific topic
Where evidence is limited or mixed, we say so. We do not treat general statements as proven facts simply because they use cautious wording.
3. Writing and Review
Articles are written in plain language. We separate general educational information from personal advice, and we avoid promises of outcome, guarantees, or timelines for improvement.
Articles that explain exercise technique, including pelvic floor exercises, are sent to an appropriate specialist reviewer before publication. A "Medically Reviewed" label is only used where a named specialist has genuinely reviewed the material.
4. Author Roles
Where an article is prepared by the editorial team rather than a named external author, it is credited to "Her Arbor Editorial". We do not invent biographies, credentials, or reviews. Where a reviewer is involved, their role is described accurately.
5. Updates and Corrections
We review content periodically and update pages when new information becomes available or when we find an error. When a substantive change is made, the "Last updated" date on the page is adjusted. We do not update dates automatically.
6. Reader Feedback
If you believe something on the site is inaccurate, unclear, or out of date, you can write to us at hello@herarbor.com with the page address and a short explanation. We read all such messages and correct genuine errors.
