I write and edit StayWellAware. I research every article, choose what we cover, assign the scores on our reviews, and I’m the person responsible when we get something wrong.
Why I do this
A lot of my life has involved looking after people, including my own family. That’s the everyday side of health: keeping track of medicines and appointments, learning to take a blood pressure reading properly, making a home safer for an older relative, and standing in a pharmacy aisle trying to work out which bottle is worth the money. Most of the information I found along the way was either selling something or too technical to use. StayWellAware is my attempt at the thing I wanted back then: calm, sourced answers in plain English.
What I am, and what I’m not
I’m not a doctor, and I don’t write as one or hold any clinical title on this site. I don’t lab-test products either. My job is research: reading the studies and official guidance, checking labels and certifications against the original records, and explaining what it all means without overselling it. That’s why every health claim here links to its source, so you never have to take my word for it.
How I work
- I start with the evidence, then look at products. Not the other way round.
- I score products with a published method, which you can read on our How We Review page.
- I say who a product is not for, and I say when the honest answer is that you probably don’t need to buy anything.
- I label affiliate links and explain them on our Affiliate Disclosure page. Commissions don’t change scores.
