How we source & review
A guide earns a place in the Knowledge Hub only after it clears the same sourcing and review bar. This is that bar.
Last updated 20 July 2026
Our sourcing hierarchy
When a guide makes a health-related claim, we back it with the strongest source available, in this order:
- Primary research — peer-reviewed, PubMed-indexed studies and systematic reviews.
- Authoritative health bodies— NCCIH, WHO, and, for women’s health, ACOG and the CDC.
- Traditional Ayurvedic sources — cited as tradition, and clearly distinguished from modern clinical evidence.
Where the evidence is still developing, we say so plainly rather than overstating it.
Per-claim citations
References aren’t a decorative list at the bottom of the page. Health claims carry a source tied to the specific assertion, rendered both for readers (the References section) and as machine-readable citation data so answer engines can trace and quote us accurately.
The review workflow
- A qualified practitioner drafts the guide with a named byline and credentials.
- The Kaya5 Practitioner Board reviews it for accuracy, safety, and an educational (non-clinical) framing.
- Only after approval is a guide published; supplement and herb protocols stay unpublished until they clear practitioner and counsel sign-off.
- Guides are revisited as guidance evolves; each page shows its last-updated date.
Structure that’s built to be quoted
Every guide leads with the direct answer, uses clear headings, and ends with Key Takeaways, an FAQ, and, where a practice is procedural, step-by-step instructions — marked up with schema.org structured data (MedicalWebPage, FAQPage, HowTo) so both search engines and AI assistants can read it precisely.
Safety & scope
Kaya5 is educational and lifestyle-first. We do not diagnose, we do not prescribe, and we do not offer emergency guidance. See our Editorial policy for the full standard, and start with the Knowledge Hub.
