This page explains how Gentle Senior makes and checks its guides, so you know what you can and cannot rely on.
Who writes our guides
Our guides are researched, written and designed by the Gentle Senior team, led by founder Walid Limon. Gentle Senior is a guide publisher, not a medical provider. Our guides are not reviewed by a doctor, and we do not claim they are.
How we research
- We look first for guidance from trusted health bodies, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), the CDC and Cochrane reviews.
- We prefer systematic reviews and randomized trials over single studies and opinion articles.
- We link important health claims to the original source so you can read it yourself.
- We say when research was done on a different group or a different kind of exercise. For example, most tai chi research studied standing practice, not chair practice.
How we write about health
- We do not promise cures, guaranteed results or "zero risk".
- We use careful words such as "may help" when the evidence is limited or mixed.
- We add a reminder to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
Testing our guides
Before a guide is published, it is checked for clear wording, large readable text and easy-to-follow pictures. We also get feedback from a woman in her 60s who uses our guides.
Updates and corrections
We review our guides when new research appears or when a reader reports a problem. Each article shows when it was last updated. If we find a mistake, we fix it and update the date.
If you see an error, an old source or a claim that is not clear, please email [email protected] with the page link and a short note.
