Editorial Policy
How we research, write, and review our content
At Little Wins Health, our goal is to make health information easier to understand and easier to act on. We know that people rely on what they read here, so we take accuracy, honesty, and clarity seriously. This page explains how our content is created and the standards we hold ourselves to.
How we research our content
Every article is built on published research and guidance from trusted health authorities. Our main sources include organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Health Service (NHS), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Wherever we make a factual claim, we link to the original source so you can read the evidence for yourself. We prioritize primary research and official health guidance over secondhand reporting.
When we reference scientific studies, we pay attention to the quality of the evidence. We distinguish between research carried out in humans and research carried out in animals, and we're careful not to overstate early or preliminary findings.
How we write our content
We explain complex health topics in plain language, so they're easier to understand and put into practice. We avoid jargon where we can, and explain it clearly where we can't.
We don't publish miracle cures, scare tactics, or exaggerated claims, because that isn't what the evidence supports. Our aim is to give you practical information that helps you make informed decisions alongside your healthcare team.
Accuracy and updates
Medical understanding changes as new research emerges. We review and update our articles over time so they stay accurate and reflect current health guidance. Where evidence is still developing or uncertain, we say so.
If you spot something you believe is inaccurate or out of date, we want to know. You can reach us at contact@littlewinshealth.com, and we'll review it carefully.
A note on medications
Some of our content explains commonly used medications, including what they're generally used for and the side effects people commonly report. This information is provided for general education only.
We do not provide dosing instructions, and we never advise you to start, stop, or change any medication. Decisions about medicines are personal and depend on your individual health, which only your doctor or pharmacist can assess. Always follow their guidance and the information provided with your medication.
What we are, and what we're not
Little Wins Health is a health education website. Our content is carefully researched and written to inform and support you, but it is not written by medical professionals and does not constitute medical advice. It is not a substitute for diagnosis, treatment, or the care of a qualified healthcare provider.
Your doctor and care team know you in a way a website never can. Nothing on this site is meant to replace them.
Editorial independence
To keep Little Wins Health free, some of our content may include advertising or affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you buy something through them, at no extra cost to you.
These relationships never influence what we write. We don't accept payment to recommend products, and commercial considerations play no part in our research, our sourcing, or the guidance we give. Our first responsibility is to our readers.
