As a practicing family physician who once watched a patient rely on a weight-loss calculator tied to unproven fad diets to skip necessary blood pressure medication, I built this siteās editorial policy to anchor every tool in peer-reviewed clinical guidelines and strict editorial independence. I refuse to let commercial partnerships or trendy misinformation dilute the trust patients place in tools that directly impact their health decisionsāthis policy isnāt just a set of rules, itās the same standard I use when advising my own patients in the exam room. Every calculator on this site undergoes a second review by a board-certified internist, and we never accept funding that would force us to tweak our algorithms or prioritize profit over safe, evidence-based guidance.

Our Promise
Health Calculator is committed to accurate, honest, helpful content. Every article is reviewed by Marcus Chen before publication. We do not publish unverified claims, clickbait, or AI-generated content without expert review.
Editorial Principles
1. Accuracy First
We cite primary sources (CDC, NIH, SEC, USDA, manufacturer specs, peer-reviewed studies) and link to them inline. Every statistic has a source.
2. Real Testing
Products are tested in real conditions when possible. We disclose how we test, who tests, and any limitations.
3. No Sponsored Content (Without Disclosure)
We do not accept paid placements that influence our reviews. If a piece is sponsored, we label it clearly at the top of the article.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
We earn commissions from affiliate links (Amazon, etc.) and disclose this on every page. Our editorial recommendations are independent of affiliate relationships.
5. Updates
We update content when information changes. Every article has a "Last updated" date.
6. Corrections
If we make an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction at the bottom of the article.
AI Disclosure
Health Calculator uses AI tools to assist with research and drafting, but every article is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human expert (Marcus Chen). AI is a tool ā not a replacement for human judgment.
Independence
Our editorial team is independent of our business and affiliate teams. Affiliate revenue does not influence which products or services we recommend.
