The Lasting Health (thelastinghealth.com) publishes plain-English health and wellness information for adults 50 and over across Healthy Choices, Medical Conditions and Overall Well-Being. This page explains what our articles are and what they cannot do for you.

Medical disclaimer

Everything on this site is general information only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and reading our articles does not create a doctor-patient or clinician-patient relationship.

No one on our editorial team is a physician, nurse, pharmacist, dietitian or other licensed clinician. We do not diagnose, treat, answer individual medical questions by email or access anyone’s medical records.

Always talk to your doctor, pharmacist or other qualified clinician before changing medication, diet, supplements or exercise. Never delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you read here.

If you have an emergency

This site cannot help in a medical or mental health crisis. Get immediate help from emergency services instead:

  • Medical emergency: Call 911 in the United States or your local emergency number right away.
  • Poisoning or exposure: Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
  • Mental health crisis: Call or text 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Not a clinic or government website

The Lasting Health is an independent publication. We are not a medical practice, clinic, pharmacy or government website, and we are not affiliated with Medicare, CMS, the FDA, the CDC, the NIH or any health system.

Our articles on Medicare, Part D costs and coverage are general information only. Your own plan, Medicare.gov or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) decides your coverage, costs and eligibility.

Information changes and accuracy

Health research, clinical guidance and food-safety recalls change over time. We update Medicare and Part D figures when CMS announces the new year’s numbers, and every article shows the date it was last updated.

Details can still change between our updates, so confirm current rules and figures with your clinician, your plan or an official agency.

Review does not guarantee that every article covers every exception. If you spot an error, email contact@thelastinghealth.com with the article’s address and what is wrong so we can check the source, correct it and update the date.

AI-assisted content and illustrations

Articles are drafted with AI assistance (Google Gemini) from sources our editorial team gathers first, such as the NIH, CDC, FDA, Medicare.gov, PubMed, Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic. Every draft gets a fact-check against those sources and an editor’s review before publication.

Articles link the sources they rely on, as our Editorial Policy explains. Images on the site are AI-generated illustrations of everyday scenes, not photographs of real readers, patients, staff or documents.

We link to public-health agencies, clinical references and research so you can verify what an article says. We do not control those websites, and a link is not an endorsement of everything on them.

The site is funded by display advertising from Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager. Ads appear in frames labelled “Advertisement” and are kept separate from editorial decisions, and advertisers never see or approve articles.

Some older articles contain Amazon affiliate links. The Lasting Health participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and earns from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

Product mentions are not paid placements, and we do not test products. We do not accept sponsored posts, payment or free products for coverage, as our Advertiser Disclosure explains.

Limitation of liability

You are responsible for how you use the information on this site, including any health, wellness or Medicare decisions you make. Warranties and limits of liability are set out in our Terms and Conditions.
