Honest Living Guide

Editorial policy

Honest Living Guide aims to make its writing clear, fair and proportionate. We separate explanation from opinion, avoid guarantees about personal well-being and revise material when it needs correction.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against suitable sources before publication and take care not to make broad claims sound universal. Where evidence or interpretation is uncertain, we say so. Our articles are general editorial material, not medical or other professional advice; readers facing individual concerns should seek an appropriately qualified source.

Independence

Editorial choices are made for relevance to readers and the publication's subject. Commercial relationships do not buy favourable editorial conclusions. If a piece has a material connection that could affect how it is read, that connection is disclosed clearly alongside the material.

Corrections

We welcome specific reports of errors through the Contact page. We review them, correct confirmed mistakes and amend wording when it gives a misleading impression. Substantive changes are identified in the article so readers can understand what changed.

Partner material and illustrations

Paid or partner material is identified clearly as such and kept distinct from independent editorial work. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where used, they are identified as illustrations and are not presented as documentary photographs.
