Ashfield Health ReviewFounding Story & Editorial Commitment
The site started because two of us, working separately as health writers for UK consumer titles, kept running into the same problem: most articles aimed at men's health either overstated what a single study actually showed or repeated old advice with no source at all. We wanted a place where a reader could check every claim without digging through a search engine.
So we built a small editorial process instead of a large content operation. Every article has a named writer and a named second editor. Claims are linked to the guidance, study or interview behind them, and nothing goes live until that second editor has checked the sources actually say what the draft claims they say.
We don't sell anything on this site, which keeps the incentive simple: an article earns its place by being accurate and clear, not by supporting a sale. When we get something wrong, we say so in the article itself, with a dated note, rather than editing quietly and hoping no one noticed.
How We Work
Named bylines only
Every article states who wrote it and who edited it, with no anonymous or outsourced copy.
Sources you can check
Each claim links to the guidance, study or interview it is based on, so you can read the original yourself.
No product sales
We don't sell supplements, gadgets or courses, so no article is written to support a sale.
Open correction log
When we get something wrong, we say so in the article itself and note the date of the fix.
Plain terminology
Technical terms are defined the first time they appear, in the same article, not in a separate glossary.
Regular republishing
Older articles are re-checked against current public guidance and updated rather than left to go stale.
Named accountability
Every article carries the name of the person who wrote it and the person who checked it. If something is wrong, you know exactly who to ask.
Checkable sources
We link the guidance, study or interview behind a claim rather than asking readers to trust our summary of it. If a source is paywalled, we say so.
Commercial independence
We don't sell products or take sponsored placements inside articles. The only thing an article is trying to do is explain the topic clearly.
How We Keep Articles Accurate
Every draft passes through a second editor who checks each factual claim against its listed source before publication. Older articles are re-checked against current public guidance on a rolling schedule rather than left untouched.
