Editorial Policy & Standards

Last Updated: November 4, 2025

Welcome to dietareas.com. Our mission is to translate complex nutritional science into delicious, practical, and joyful food.

We understand that managing health conditions like PCOS, Prediabetes, or Heart Health can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to be your trusted resource for evidence-based recipes that respect both your body and your tastebuds.

Our Philosophy: The “Kitchen-Researcher” Approach

Transparency is our core value. dietareas.com is led by Emily Turner. To serve you best, you must know who we are—and who we are not.

Emily is not a medical doctor or a registered dietitian. She is a dedicated “Independent Kitchen-Researcher” whose expertise (aligned with E-E-A-T principles) is built on three pillars:

  1. Lived Experience (The “Why”): Our content is born from necessity. Following a dual diagnosis of PCOS and prediabetes, Emily navigated the confusion of generic medical advice personally. This “patient perspective” ensures our content is empathetic and realistic.
  2. Evidence-Based Research (The “How”): We do not chase fads. We follow the evidence. Emily dedicates hours to analyzing clinical guidelines from organizations like the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and studies on PubMed to ensure our recipes align with proven protocols (Mediterranean, DASH, Low-Carb).
  3. Practical Application (The “Result”): Science is useless if you can’t eat it. Our unique skill lies in translating metabolic data into simple, one-bowl dinners that your family will actually love.

How We Create & Verify Content

In the age of misinformation, accuracy is everything. Here is our rigorous 5-step process:

  • 1. Sourcing & Literature Review: Before cooking begins, we review current meta-analyses and clinical trials. We prioritize primary sources (peer-reviewed journals) over secondary news articles.
  • 2. The “Real Life” Test: Every recipe is tested in a standard home kitchen—not a studio. We test for flavor, texture, and blood-sugar friendliness (based on ingredient glycemic loads).
  • 3. Citation Standards: We back up our claims. You will find links to trusted authorities (like the AHA or NIH) within our articles. For cornerstone health guides, a formal “References” list is provided.
  • 4. Regular Updates: Science evolves. We commit to reviewing our key health content every 6-12 months to ensure it reflects the latest nutritional guidelines.
  • 5. AI Transparency: We utilize AI tools to assist with workflow (brainstorming, summarizing large studies, checking grammar). However, no content is entirely AI-generated. Every word is reviewed, fact-checked, and humanized by Emily Turner to ensure safety and empathy.

Editorial Independence & Integrity

Our loyalty is to our readers, not advertisers.

  • Unbiased Recommendations: We only recommend products we personally use and trust.
  • Clear Disclosures: If a post contains affiliate links or is sponsored, this will be clearly marked at the top of the page.
  • Separation of Church and State: Advertisers have no say in our editorial opinions or health research.

Community Safety & Comment Policy

We love hearing from you! However, because we discuss health, we have a responsibility to keep our community safe.

We reserve the right to moderate or remove comments that:

  • Offer dangerous or unverified medical advice (e.g., “Stop taking your insulin and eat this instead”).
  • Promote “miracle cures” or misleading supplements.
  • Are abusive or spammy.

Note: User comments are personal opinions and have not been medically reviewed by our team.
