What Gets Reviewed
An article goes through mandatory medical review if it does any of the following.
- Describes a physiological or biological mechanism, such as neuroplasticity, the stress response or sleep architecture.
- Names a health condition, symptom, injury or mental health diagnosis.
- Makes a safety statement or lists a contraindication.
- Discusses a therapy, device, supplement or wellness protocol in a health context.
- Cites clinical or behavioral health research.
Pages with no health claim, such as shipping information, app feature lists or company news, do not go through medical review. They also do not carry a reviewer name, because claiming a review that did not happen would defeat the point of having one.
What The Reviewer Checks
Every review works through the same checklist. A single unresolved item blocks publication. The review is done by her, against the original sources. AI tools are never used to approve a review or to stand in for her judgment.
Claim To Source Match
Does each claim genuinely follow from the study cited, or has the finding been stretched in the retelling. This is the most common failure in the wellness industry.
Source Quality
Is the citation appropriate for the weight it is carrying. A rodent study cannot support a definitive sentence about human behavioral outcomes.
Evidence Labelling
Where the research is preliminary, does the article say so clearly enough that someone skimming would still understand the limitation.
Safety And Contraindications
Are the people who should not use a therapy or push through a certain habit clearly named. Severe mental health conditions, active physical injuries, uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, pregnancy and post-surgical recovery are all checked against the specific protocol discussed.
Scope Of Claim
Nothing may describe a wellness, productivity or habit-building tool as a medical or psychiatric treatment for a condition it has no clearance to treat.
Terminology
Clinical and psychological terms are checked for correct use and must carry a correct plain-English definition on first appearance.
No Advice Framing
The article must inform a decision, not instruct one. Anything reading as a personal medical or psychiatric treatment plan is rewritten.
Balance
Where evidence is mixed, does the article show both sides or has it kept only the favorable half.
What Happens After Review
A review ends one of three ways, and all three are recorded.
Approved
The article is accurate as written and publishes with the review date attached.
Approved With Required Edits
Specific claims must be changed, sourced properly or removed. It does not publish until the reviewer confirms the edits are done.
Not Approved
The evidence will not support the article. It goes back for a rewrite or it does not run.
The commercial side of the business cannot overturn any of those outcomes. If a reviewer removes a claim that would have helped sell a subscription, the claim stays removed.
What Medical Review Does Not Mean
- It is not personal medical or mental health advice. Nothing here is written with knowledge of your history, medications or diagnosis.
- It is not an endorsement of any Moore Momentum product or subscription by the reviewer. She checks accuracy, she is not recommending anything to you.
- It is not a claim that any productivity or habit-building tool is a medical treatment for a disease.
- It does not replace a conversation with your own doctor, psychiatrist, pharmacist or licensed therapist.
If you have a diagnosed physical or mental health condition, an implanted device, are pregnant, are recovering from surgery, or are in active psychological distress, speak to your clinician before starting any new wellness or habit routine you read about here.
How Often Content Is Reviewed Again
Every medically reviewed article returns to the queue at least once every twelve months, and sooner if research, regulation or clinical guidance changes. When a re-review happens the review date changes and the revision history records what was altered. If nothing needed changing we still update the date, because knowing an article was checked recently and left alone is useful.
Conflicts Of Interest
Our medical reviewer completes a written conflict of interest declaration, kept on file and refreshed annually. She holds no equity in Moore Momentum, receives no commission on sales or subscriptions, and is paid a flat fee per article regardless of what the review concludes. Anyone else who contributes health content completes the same declaration before their first piece runs. Declarations are available on request.
For Clinicians
If you are a physician, psychiatrist, pharmacist, therapist or researcher and something published here looks inaccurate, tell us directly. Email will@mooremomentum.comwith the article and the specific claim. Clinical corrections go straight to review ahead of everything else in the queue.
