PureWow Medically Reviewed by Policy: How We Work with Medical Experts

When it comes to writing about health (whether that's physical or mental), PureWow is dedicated to sharing the most up-to-date, inclusive and clinically accurate information. To do so, we rely on a group of vetted experts in the physical and mental health space to review our content for accuracy and integrity. These experts include board-certified physicians, licensed mental health professionals and more, all of whom are just as passionate about providing accurate and reliable health content as we are.

Any time you see a 'Medically Reviewed by' note at the top of a PureWow article, that means our editors have tapped an expert to check the content for medical and/or clinical accuracy. These experts may or may not be featured in the article itself, but are highly thought of as leaders in their respective fields. They read through stories that we determine are in need of medical/clinical review and provide feedback about the accuracy of said stories. In the event that an expert flags an inaccuracy to us, we immediately work to correct it before publishing.

In sourcing medical experts, PureWow editors rigorously vet physicians, therapists and other health experts who have years of clinical experience in their fields, are fully versed on up-to-date studies and data and share our interest in providing readers with meticulously researched and easy-to-understand information related to your health and wellness.

If you have any questions or feedback about our ‘Medically Reviewed by’ policy, please email editors@purewow.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we're able.
