Editorial Policy

Welcome to CosmoGlamor. Our core mission is to provide helpful, reliable, and empowering content that is rooted in real-life experience and backed by diligent research. We understand that navigating the world of health, wellness, and nutrition can be overwhelming, and we are committed to being a source of clarity and trust for our readers.

This Editorial Policy outlines the principles and processes that guide every piece of content we create.

Our Founder, Expertise & Experience

CosmoGlamor is led by Laura Santiago. We believe that trust is earned through a combination of analytical rigor and lived experience. Our content authority is built on two pillars:

• Expertise (The Research): Laura is an Independent Researcher with a B.S. in Computer Science. Her academic background in data analysis gives her a unique skill set to find, sift through, and translate complex scientific studies into practical, actionable guidance. She treats health protocols like data projects—analyzing what works based on evidence.
• Experience (The Lived Journey): Laura’s “why” comes from her personal health battle. After a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure, she applied her research skills to her own life. Over 18 months, she successfully lost 50 pounds, corrected chronic posture issues, lowered her A1C from 7.8% to 6.1%, and managed her blood pressure from 145/95 mmHg down to a consistent 120/80 mmHg.

Our Guiding Principles

• People-First Content: Our primary goal is to serve you. Every article and recipe is created to answer your questions, solve your problems, and support you on your health journey. We prioritize creating valuable, insightful content over writing for search engines.
• Accuracy and Fact-Checking: We are committed to providing information that is accurate and trustworthy. Our content is thoroughly researched, and we make it a priority to support our health-related claims by citing and linking to reputable sources (see “Sourcing Standards” below).
• Experience and Authenticity: Our content is born from real-world application. We believe that personal experience provides an invaluable layer of authenticity. We share what we have learned through our own trials, successes, and challenges—from managing blood sugar to functional movement.

Our Content Creation Process

To ensure we meet high quality standards (E-E-A-T), every piece of content on CosmoGlamor follows a structured process:

1. Ideation: Topics are chosen based on the real-world needs of our community and our founder’s personal health journey (blood sugar management, gut health, menopause, and functional fitness).
2. Evidence-Based Research: Before writing, we conduct comprehensive research using trusted sources. We review studies on platforms like PubMed and consult guidelines from organizations like the American Diabetes Association (ADA), NIH, and the Mayo Clinic.
3. Real-World Testing: All recipes are meticulously tested in a real home kitchen to guarantee they are not only healthy but delicious. Workout routines are vetted for safety and low-impact functionality.
4. Sourcing and Verification: All health claims are verified against our research. We prioritize primary, high-quality evidence (clinical guidelines, systematic reviews) from the last 5-10 years.
5. Regular Updates: Health science evolves. We are committed to periodically reviewing our content. We clearly mark articles with their “Last Updated” date.

Human-Centric Content Policy

At CosmoGlamor, humans are at the helm. While we may use digital tools to help structure ideas or check grammar, all content is researched, written, tested, and reviewed by human beings. We do not publish auto-generated AI content. Our voice is personal, empathetic, and uniquely ours.

Clinical Boundaries & Safety Notice

We do not diagnose, treat, or provide individualized dosing. Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional for your specific health needs.

Urgent Medical Warning: This website is not a substitute for professional medical care. If you are experiencing symptoms such as severe chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden dizziness, severe headache, or signs of very high or very low blood sugar, please call emergency services or contact your doctor immediately.

Affiliate & Advertising Policy

Some articles on this site may include affiliate links. We only recommend products and services we personally use or genuinely trust. This income helps support the site's research and recipe development, and our editorial decisions are never influenced by affiliate partnerships or advertisers.

Corrections Policy

We strive for complete accuracy, but we are human. If you find an error in our content, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. We are committed to promptly investigating and correcting any inaccuracies.
