Editorial Methodology & Source Standards
At Gear Up to Grow, we reject pop-psychology tropes, recycled productivity slogans, and unsubstantiated biohacking fads. Every protocol, matrix, and guide published in our library adheres to strict, reproducible standards:
1. Primary Source Mandate
Material factual claims are checked against relevant primary research, systematic reviews, and authoritative sources where appropriate. We state uncertainty and limitations rather than using technical language to make practical advice sound more certain. Review our complete Review Methodology.
2. YMYL & Medical Fact-Checking
Mental-wellness and health-adjacent content is educational, non-diagnostic, and checked against appropriate authoritative health guidance. We avoid presenting self-help as medical treatment and direct readers toward qualified care when the topic requires it. Read our Editorial Policy.
3. Continuous Correction Protocol
Scientific consensus evolves. We maintain a transparent revision ledger across our guides. If you identify a discrepancy or an outdated citation, submit a report directly via our Contact Desk.
