About Glimmer
Is Glimmer a medical provider?
No. Glimmer is an independent editorial publication that reports on published research. We do not diagnose, treat or provide individualized medical advice. Any health concern should be discussed with a licensed physician. See our medical disclaimer for full detail.
Does Glimmer sell supplements, programs or consultations?
No. We do not sell any health products or services. Our revenue comes from display advertising and is described in detail on our advertising disclosure page.
Who writes the articles?
Our regular contributors include a registered dietitian, a sports physiotherapist, and health journalists, supported by occasional specialist reviewers. Full biographies are listed on our editorial team page.
Our Content
How often is new content published?
Our contributors typically publish two to four new long-form articles per month across our five pillars, depending on how long research review takes for a given topic.
How do you decide what to cover?
Topics are chosen based on reader questions, recent peer-reviewed research, and gaps our contributors notice in existing consumer health coverage. We describe our selection and review process on our editorial policy page.
Can I suggest a topic?
Yes. Reader suggestions are one of the main sources for new article ideas. Use our contact form to send a suggestion.
Why don't you publish meal plans or workout programs?
Individual nutrition and training needs vary too much by medical history, activity level and goals for a general-interest publication to responsibly prescribe either. We focus instead on explaining principles so readers can make informed decisions with their own healthcare providers.
