⭐ References & Sourcing Policy – Healthy89
How We Select and Use Scientific Sources
At Healthy89, we are committed to using reliable, science-based sources when creating wellness content.
Because we write about topics such as sleep, gut health, hormones, stress, and daily energy—fields that affect people’s well-being—we follow strict standards for how we choose, review, and reference our sources.
This References & Sourcing Policy explains how we select, evaluate, and use scientific and wellness information.
⸻
⭐ 1. Our Approach to Scientific Sources
We aim to use sources that are:

⸻
⭐ 3. Sources We Avoid
Healthy89 does not rely on:

• Non-scientific opinion blogs
• Content created to sell a product without scientific backing
• Sensationalized or misleading health claims
If a source appears biased, unverified, or promotional, we do not use it as a primary reference.
⸻
⭐ 4. How We Evaluate Sources
Before citing a source, we consider:
• Publication type: Is it peer-reviewed, institutional, or academic?
• Date: Is the information current and relevant?
• Methodology: Is the study design credible and transparent?
• Sample size & limitations: Are results strong enough to be meaningful?
• Scientific consensus: Does it align with broader research, when available?
We prioritize high-quality, well-designed studies over weak or isolated findings.
⸻
⭐ 5. How We Use References in Our Content
In our articles, we:
• Use scientific sources to support key points
• Simplify complex concepts while maintaining accuracy
• Avoid copying text directly from sources
• Translate scientific findings into everyday language
• Clarify when research is early, limited, or evolving
Where possible, we may mention or summarize the nature of the evidence (e.g., “small clinical trial,” “observational study,” “systematic review”).
⸻
⭐ 6. Transparency and Limitations
We recognize that:
• Not all research is perfect
• Science is always evolving
• New studies may change the understanding of a topic
When relevant, we highlight:
• Study limitations
• Uncertainty in evidence
• Areas where more research is needed
We do not present early or weak evidence as absolute fact.
⸻
⭐ 7. Sponsored, Affiliate, or Commercial Content
If any article includes:
• Sponsored mentions
• Affiliate links
• Product references
we will clearly disclose this according to our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure (separate page).
No sponsorship or affiliate relationship will change our sourcing standards or allow us to use non-scientific claims.
