This policy explains who writes and checks the articles on The Lasting Health, which sources we rely on, how we use AI, and how we handle updates and corrections.
The Lasting Health is an independent publication for adults 50 and over. It is not a medical practice, clinic, pharmacy or government website, and it is not affiliated with Medicare, CMS, the FDA, the CDC, the NIH or any health system.
Editorial team and coverage
Our articles are written and edited by our editorial team at Inedit Agency S.R.L. No one on the team is a physician, nurse, pharmacist, dietitian or other licensed clinician.
We publish plain-English health and wellness information across three sections: Healthy Choices, Medical Conditions, and Overall Well-Being. Those sections cover food, nutrition, supplements, everyday habits, food-safety recalls, common conditions, signs and symptoms, sleep, movement, mood, and Medicare and Part D costs.
We do not diagnose, treat or give personal medical advice. We cannot see anyone’s records, and we do not answer individual medical questions by email.
How an article is made
- Sources first. Before any drafting, our editorial team gathers sources in this order of preference:
- primary and public-health sources: the National Institutes of Health (including MedlinePlus and the National Institute on Aging), the CDC, the FDA (including its recall notices), Medicare.gov and CMS, and the USDA and Dietary Guidelines for Americans
- peer-reviewed research indexed in PubMed
- established clinical references such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, and professional bodies including the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association and American Cancer Society
- AI-assisted drafting. Drafts are written with AI assistance using Google Gemini from the sources our editorial team has gathered first.
- Fact-checking and review. Every draft gets a fact-check against those sources and an editor’s review before publication. Anything that reads like personal advice is rewritten as general information.
- Linked sources. Articles link the sources they rely on so you can check the original guidance yourself.
Health claims and safety
We explain what the evidence says and how strong it is. We do not promise cures, make miracle claims, or suggest dosing beyond what our sources state.
Articles provide general information only and are not a substitute for care from a clinician. Always talk to your doctor, pharmacist or other qualified clinician before changing medication, diet, supplements or exercise.
Never delay or disregard professional advice because of something you read here. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911 in the US or your local emergency number right away.
For poisoning questions, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. For mental health or crisis support, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
Images
Images on the site are AI-generated illustrations of everyday scenes. They are not photographs of real readers, patients, staff or documents.
Updates and corrections
Every article shows the date it was last updated. When CMS announces the new year’s numbers, we update Medicare and Part D figures in the articles that use them.
If you find a mistake, email contact@thelastinghealth.com with the article’s address and what is wrong. Our editorial team checks it against the source and corrects the article, changing its updated date.
