About Stillwell

Stillwell is a health and wellness publication. We write about sleep, fitness, mental health, insurance, and nutrition in plain language, with every clinical claim checked by a licensed reviewer before publication.

Our editorial approach

We aim for clear, evidence-aware, non-alarmist writing. That means we try to represent the state of research honestly, including when it is limited, mixed, or still evolving, rather than overstating what a single study or a popular trend can tell you. When the evidence is thin, we say so. When a topic has a well-established answer, we say that too.

Medical review

Every article on Stillwell is reviewed by a licensed physician, pharmacist, psychologist, or registered dietitian with relevant subject-matter experience before it is published, and again whenever it is substantially updated. Reviewers check clinical accuracy, flag anything that reads as overly definitive, and confirm that any cited sources support the claim they're attached to.

What Stillwell is not

Stillwell is not a substitute for individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing on this site should be used to make a specific treatment decision without talking to a qualified health professional who knows your history. We link to primary sources and established health authorities throughout our articles so you can read further and form your own judgment alongside your provider's guidance.

Corrections and feedback

If you believe something on Stillwell is inaccurate or out of date, we want to know. Our editorial team reviews reader feedback alongside our regular medical review cycle and updates articles when new, higher-quality evidence warrants a change.
