Health information that stays inside its own limits
Tips Health is an independent health publication built on one rule: every medical claim points to where it came from, and every limit gets stated out loud.
Why this site exists
Most health content online has one of two problems. Either it cites nothing at all, or it cites by linking to the front page of a large institution — borrowing the authority without ever showing which document actually said the thing.
We do the opposite. Every footnote lands on the specific page that supports the claim, so you can verify it in seconds without taking our word for anything.
The two halves of this site
Tips Health has two connected parts. The content side covers daily habits, medical terminology, and summaries of published research. The directory side helps you find providers by specialty and location, using public federal registration data.
They connect in one specific direction: when an article reaches the edge of what general advice can do, it hands you to the relevant specialty — instead of stretching into advice we aren't qualified to give.
Who writes Tips Health
We are not physicians and we do not practice medicine. We say so plainly, because being vague about your standing is the fastest way to lose a reader's trust.
Writers handle research and citation. Reviewers — usually senior medical, nursing, or nutrition students, sometimes practicing physicians — check every claim against the sources. Each person's actual role is printed verbatim in the article, never upgraded to something that sounds more impressive.
What you can expect from us
- Citations you can check. Footnotes land on the exact document, not a homepage.
- Named reviewers. Real name, real role, and the date they checked it.
- Stated limits. We tell you when to stop reading and see a clinician.
- No paid placement. Directory results are ordered by distance, not by payment.
What we don't do
We don't write about drug dosing, we don't diagnose, we don't publish treatment protocols for specific conditions, and we don't promise that anything here will cure something. That boundary is one we set and hold — not out of formal caution, but because it is genuinely where a publication's competence ends.
How we work
The full four-step process — pick the sources, write and cite, have a qualified reader check it, re-check on a schedule — is documented publicly in our editorial standards, including a plain statement of what reviewers receive in exchange for their work.
