How We Review Content
This page describes the practical process every article on Health is Heaven goes through before it is published. For our broader editorial principles, please see our Editorial Policy.
Step 1: Topic Selection
We choose topics based on what readers are actually searching for, what gaps exist in the available consumer health writing, and what we feel competent to cover responsibly. Some topics — for example, treatment recommendations for specific cancers or psychiatric conditions — are outside our scope, and we either decline to cover them or limit ourselves to background information with strong signposting toward qualified medical advice.
Step 2: Source Research
For every article, we begin with the most authoritative source we can find. Our hierarchy of preferred sources, from most to least preferred:
- Major government and international health agency guidance (WHO, CDC, NIH, NHS).
- Specialist medical society guidance (AHA, ADA, ACOG, etc.).
- Patient-focused materials from major teaching hospitals (Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Harvard Health).
- Peer-reviewed primary literature indexed in PubMed.
We do not paraphrase from other health blogs or content farms. If we mention a study, we link to its abstract or full text where possible.
Step 3: Drafting
Once research is complete, we draft the article. We use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) to assist with structure and initial drafts, but every paragraph is reviewed and rewritten as needed by Ganesh Kamble before publication. AI is a tool, not the author. Final responsibility for accuracy and tone rests with the editor.
Step 4: Fact-Checking
Before publication, the following are explicitly verified:
- Every numerical claim (dosages, percentages, study sample sizes) is checked against the cited source.
- Every study reference is verified to exist and to actually say what we claim it says.
- Every clinical threshold (for example, "hypertension begins at 130/80") is checked against current guidelines.
- Calculator formulas are checked against published equations.
Step 5: Editing for Tone
Health writing is unhelpful when it is either too vague ("eat better, exercise more") or too dramatic ("the silent killer destroying your body"). We aim for a tone that is direct, specific, and honest about uncertainty. We try to avoid:
- Overstating what the science shows.
- Promising outcomes that depend on individual factors.
- Using jargon where plain language works.
- Fearmongering, miracle claims, or absolute certainty about contested topics.
Step 6: Publication and Last-Updated Date
Once an article is published, the publication date is recorded. When the article is later revised in a substantive way, the "Last Updated" date is changed to reflect that. This helps readers see whether they are reading current information.
Step 7: Ongoing Review
We aim to revisit each published article at least once a year to check for outdated guidance, broken links, and new research that should be incorporated. We update sooner when there is a significant change in clinical guidelines.
