Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we are actually asked about how BetterYou+ works. If yours is not here, ask us.
Why does your article contradict the advice I have read everywhere else?
Usually because the popular version has drifted from what the research found. A common pattern: a real study produces a modest effect in a specific group, the finding gets simplified for a wider audience, and after a few rounds it is being sold as a universal rule. We report the original finding at its original size — which sometimes means saying a well-known technique does not work the way it is described.
Are you saying the technique is useless?
Rarely. More often we are saying it is narrower than advertised, works for some people and not others, or works through a different mechanism than the one it is sold on. Where something genuinely has no support, we say that plainly.
Is this medical advice?
No. BetterYou+ is informational journalism about research. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan or personal advice, and we do not employ clinicians. Please read the Health & Informational Disclaimer.
Where do your sources come from, and can I check them?
Yes, and you should. Every article lists its sources at the end and links to the study or dataset wherever one is publicly reachable. If a claim in an article has no source behind it, that is a defect — please tell us.
Do you use AI to write articles?
Articles are researched, written and edited against our published standard, and every claim traces to a named source a reader can check. We build and run software to do the checking — rendering every article and measuring it before publication — and we are direct about that rather than pretending the process is entirely manual. What we do not do is publish a claim, a source or a quotation that nobody verified.
Do you use AI images?
Not currently. If we ever do, the credit line will say so on the image, every time. Diagrams and charts made by us are credited to BetterYou+; photographs are credited to the photographer and the library they came from. See Editorial Policy.
Why do some articles show an “updated” date and others do not?
Because the date means something specific here. An updated date appears only when an article was materially changed — new evidence, a changed conclusion. Fixing a typo does not move it. Rebuilt articles keep their original publication date, because they are not new. See Corrections & Updates.
I think something you published is wrong.
Please tell us, and please be specific: the article, the claim, and the evidence if you have it. We correct errors visibly rather than editing them away quietly, and a reader pointing at a real mistake is doing us a favour. Contact us.
Do you have a newsletter, and what happens to my address?
There will be one, it will be free, and it will carry one verified fact and the article behind it. It has not started yet, so nothing has been sent to anyone. When you subscribe, your address is used to send you the newsletter and nothing else — it is not sold or shared, and we do not track whether you opened an issue or what you clicked. See the Privacy Policy, and you can unsubscribe from any issue.
Do you take advertising or affiliate money?
No. Not currently, from anyone. If that ever changes it will be disclosed on the page you are reading as well as on Advertising & Affiliates.
