Honest reference for the new wellness era.

Cited research. Tiered protocols. Practical tools. The independent health publication for clinicians, informed self-experimenters, and anyone who wants the citations attached.

Open vintage anatomical atlas showing endocrine, lymphatic, and digestive systems in teal and gold ink, with tortoise-shell reading glasses on a warm cream surface — Wellness Radar
This week

Long-form journalism, built to be cited.

Every article runs the three filters: is the claim cited, is the protocol tiered, is every grey area named — not buried.

GLP-1 receptor agonist injection pen — semaglutide and tirzepatide weight loss medication
Metabolic · Long read

The GLP-1 era is reshaping more than weight. Here's what the next-generation pipeline actually says.

Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, and what's coming behind them. The trial data, the mechanism story, the cardiac and renal endpoints that nobody talked about until they were undeniable — and a tiered framework for thinking about all of it.

Where to start

Health topics, treated like reference material.

Framework first. Mechanism second. Evidence third. Protocol last. No supplement-bottle prose. No "studies show" without naming the study.

How we work

The editorial difference, in five rules.

Five rules that govern every long read, drug profile, hub page, and tool — and that make us a publication worth citing, worth subscribing to, and worth partnering with.

01

Every claim is cited.

Inline references to primary studies. Effect size and sample size shown where it matters. No "studies show" without naming the study.

02

Every protocol is tiered.

Conservative, standard, aggressive — with the trade-offs of each. You decide where you live on the spectrum, not us.

03

Every grey area is named.

Regulatory status, off-label use, missing human trials, conflicting data. We don't smooth these over to make the page read cleaner.

04

Editorial independence, transparently disclosed.

Sponsorships and affiliate links are clearly labeled at the article level. Editorial judgment — what we cover and how — is independent of who's paying. The reader always knows what's commercial and what isn't.

05

Updated when the evidence updates.

Every article carries a "last reviewed against evidence" date and a change log. When new data reads out, the page moves with it.
