GuyHealth (guy.lyricalguy.com) publishes educational content about United States men’s health. Because men’s health is a “Your Money or Your Life” (YMYL) topic that readers may act on, we hold every article to the standards below. This Editorial Policy explains how we research, source, review, correct, and label our content, and how we keep advertising fully separate from what we write. It works alongside our About page, Medical Disclaimer, and Privacy Policy.
Our editorial mission
We write to help men understand preventive care, common screenings, and everyday health numbers clearly enough to have a better conversation with a real clinician — and then actually have it. We do not diagnose, treat, or replace medical care. Our success is measured by whether a reader books the checkup, not by clicks on any product.
How we research content
Every article starts from primary, credentialed sources rather than other blogs. We read the underlying guidance — from public-health agencies, government coverage programs, and professional medical associations — and translate it into plain, 8th-to-9th-grade English, defining any clinical term the first time it appears. We prioritize the most recent guidance available, because screening recommendations, coverage rules, and costs change over time. When sources disagree, we say so rather than papering over the uncertainty.
Sourcing standards — credentialed sources only
Each article cites at least three authoritative outbound sources, drawn only from a whitelist of credentialed organizations, including:
- U.S. government and public health: the CDC (cdc.gov), NIH and MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov), the FDA (fda.gov), the National Cancer Institute (cancer.gov), and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).
- Coverage and cost programs: Medicare (medicare.gov), Medicaid, and the Health Insurance Marketplace (healthcare.gov).
- Professional associations and academic medical centers: the Mayo Clinic, the American Heart Association (heart.org), the Urology Care Foundation and the American Urological Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians (aafp.org), and the American Cancer Society (cancer.org).
We do not cite or link competitor health blogs, testosterone/ED telehealth funnels, “testosterone booster” or supplement retailers, or “best clinic” marketing pages. All external links open in a new tab and are marked appropriately.
Our medical-review process
Health articles are written and then reviewed by a contributor with relevant credentials before publication:
- Dr. Marcus Reed (family and preventive medicine, 14 years) reviews preventive care, screenings, heart and blood-pressure, and metabolic and weight topics.
- Dr. Anthony Russo (urology-focused, 12 years) reviews prostate, PSA, and testosterone and hormone education.
- Jordan Blake, LCSW (licensed clinical social worker and coverage-navigation specialist) reviews mental-health awareness, habits, and cost-and-coverage content.
Each published article carries a visible byline, a “Reviewed by” credit, and an “Updated on” date near the title so you can see who stands behind it and how current it is.
YMYL standards
Because our topics can affect real health and financial decisions, we apply extra care: no diagnosis, no treatment instructions, no medication dosing, and no urgency or fear-based framing. We use neutral, educational language (“research suggests,” “clinicians often weigh,” “ask your doctor about”) and we always point readers back to a licensed clinician, their insurer, or an official program for personal decisions. Every article includes a short disclaimer near the top and a full Medical Disclaimer panel at the end.
Corrections policy
We correct errors quickly and openly. If you believe an article contains a factual, medical, or coverage error, email us at support@lyricalguy.com with the article and the specific issue. Substantive corrections are prioritized and, where a correction materially changes the meaning of an article, we note that it was updated and refresh the “Updated on” date. Coverage, costs, and screening rules change; we periodically review and re-date evergreen articles to keep them current.
Use of AI, with human review
We may use AI tools to assist with drafting outlines, improving readability, or checking grammar. AI is never the final author of a health claim. Every article is fact-checked against the primary sources cited, edited, and reviewed by a credentialed human contributor before publication. Responsibility for accuracy rests with our named reviewers, not with any tool.
No lead-generation, no TRT/ED funnels, no supplement hype
This is a firm editorial line. GuyHealth does not run lead-generation, “free consult,” “click to call,” “check if you qualify,” or email-capture funnels. We do not publish “how to get prescribed” testosterone or ED content, “best testosterone booster” content, “increase T naturally in X days” claims, supplement promotions, or “best men’s clinic” rankings. Testosterone and prostate topics are kept strictly at the “what it is and how it is evaluated” educational level, with readers directed to their clinician, the FDA, and MedlinePlus. We never claim affiliation with or endorsement by any government agency, insurer, clinic, or manufacturer.
Advertising independence
GuyHealth is supported by display advertising, including Google AdSense. Ads never influence our content. Advertisers do not see, approve, commission, or edit articles, and no topic is chosen, shaped, or omitted to please an advertiser. We keep a clear separation between editorial and advertising: any sponsored content — of which we currently publish none — would be explicitly labeled as such. We also limit ad placement so it never interferes with reading: no ads above the article headline, none inside headings, no sticky units that cover content, and a capped number of in-article units per page. How advertising cookies work and how to opt out is explained in our Privacy Policy.
