About HealthDigest and our standards for practical health and wellness information.

About Health Digest

Health Digest is an independent, evidence-based health and wellness blog. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Reader’s Digest, Reader’s Digest Health, or any other publication. Health Digest is a standalone digital health resource founded to make evidence-based health information accessible to everyone.

What We Cover

Health Digest publishes in-depth, research-backed guides across six core health categories:

  • Sleep — sleep science, insomnia, sleep hygiene, supplements and circadian rhythm
  • Supplements — evidence-based reviews of vitamins, minerals, adaptogens and functional nutrients

  • Blood sugar — glucose control, insulin resistance, prediabetes, diabetes prevention and metabolic health
  • Fitness — exercise science, strength training, cardiovascular health and recovery

Our Editorial Standards

Every article published on Health Digest follows a strict evidence-based editorial process:

  • Primary sources only — we cite peer-reviewed research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, not secondary health websites
  • No sensationalism — we report what the evidence actually shows, including its limitations and the quality of the data
  • Regular updates — articles are reviewed and updated as new research emerges
  • Clear distinction between established evidence, emerging research and expert opinion

For full details of our editorial process, review criteria and correction policy, see our Editorial Policies.
