Editorial Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Still You publishes content about mindfulness, breathwork, sleep science, stress management, and self-hypnosis. Because these topics directly affect your health and wellbeing, we hold ourselves to the highest editorial standards. Every article we publish is designed to be helpful, accurate, and grounded in current scientific understanding.

Content Creation Process

Each piece of content goes through a multi-stage review pipeline before publication:

1. Research & sourcing: We gather evidence from peer-reviewed studies, reputable health institutions (NIH, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Sleep Foundation), and established clinical guidelines.
2. Expert writing: Our content is written by specialist authors with deep knowledge in their respective fields—mindfulness, sleep science, breathwork, and stress management.
3. Editorial review: Every article undergoes a thorough editorial review for factual accuracy, clarity, appropriate hedging of health claims, and adherence to our style guidelines.
4. Quality validation: A final quality check evaluates SEO accuracy, source quality, readability, and compliance with our medical content guidelines.

Our Authors

Still You's writing team consists of specialists matched to their areas of expertise. Each author's background, credentials, and body of work are available on their dedicated profile pages. We assign articles based on the author's domain expertise to ensure the content reflects genuine understanding of the subject matter.

Source Requirements

We require that health-related claims in our articles are supported by credible sources. Our source hierarchy:

• Tier 1 – Primary research: Peer-reviewed studies from PubMed, NIH, and academic journals.
• Tier 2 – Institutional sources: Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Sleep Foundation, WHO, American Psychological Association.
• Tier 3 – Expert commentary: Published work by recognized experts in mindfulness, sleep, and clinical psychology.

We do not cite social media posts, anonymous forums, or non-peer-reviewed blogs as health evidence.

Medical Content Guidelines

Still You is a wellness resource, not a medical provider. All our health-related content follows these principles:

• We use hedging language ("may help," "research suggests," "some evidence indicates") rather than making definitive medical claims.
• We never promise cures, diagnose conditions, or recommend stopping prescribed treatments.
• Every article that touches on health topics includes a medical disclaimer encouraging readers to consult qualified healthcare professionals.
• We clearly distinguish between established science and emerging research.

Content Updates & Freshness

Health and wellness research evolves. We periodically review existing articles to ensure they reflect current scientific consensus. When an article is significantly updated, we revise the "Last updated" date displayed on the page. Minor corrections (typos, formatting) do not change the update date.

Independence & Transparency

Our editorial content is independent of commercial interests. While Still You offers a meditation and sleep app, our blog content is written to be genuinely helpful regardless of whether readers use our app. We do not accept paid placements in our editorial content, and any affiliate relationships will be clearly disclosed.

Corrections Policy

If you identify an error in our content, we encourage you to contact us. We take corrections seriously and will update articles promptly when factual errors are brought to our attention. Significant corrections will be noted at the bottom of the affected article.
