Plain English first: I'm not a doctor, and nothing on this site is medical advice. I write about health research because I find it genuinely interesting and useful. Please talk to your doctor before acting on anything you read here.

What this site is

Health Insights HQ is an independent health information and research resource operated by an individual layperson. The content published here is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. It reflects my personal reading of published research and my honest attempt to present that research clearly and fairly.

I am not a physician, nurse, registered dietitian, pharmacist, or licensed healthcare provider of any kind. Nothing on this site should be construed as the practice of medicine or the provision of medical advice.

About the content

Articles on this site discuss published health research, emerging findings, traditional health practices, and lifestyle approaches to common conditions. The intent is to inform and to point toward resources worth exploring, not to diagnose, treat, or prescribe.

Health research is an evolving field. Findings that appear in one study may be contradicted or refined by later research. I try to represent the state of the evidence accurately and to note where findings are preliminary or contested, but I am not infallible. Do not rely on any single source, including this one, for decisions about your health.
