Editorial Standards

In a world overrun by questionable news, you deserve to feed your mind with content that you can trust. When you read a NativePath blog, you can expect the following:

  • Scientific Sources: We believe in sourcing the highest-quality information for our blogs—from academic research institutions, reputable media sites, and medically peer-reviewed studies*.
  • Credentialed Writers: We have the experts write our blogs—from registered dietitians and kinesiologists to physical therapists and personal trainers.
  • Medical Reviewers: Each of our more science-heavy blogs is reviewed by an experienced professional to ensure accuracy and credibility.
  • Up-to-Date Information: As new science and research unfold, our blogs are updated accordingly. Each quarter, we review our published blogs and make any updates necessary.
