About The Morning Wellness
Plain answers about mornings, metabolism and midlife habits.
The Morning Wellness is a small independent publication covering morning routines, midlife metabolism and the ordinary habits that shape how the day starts. We started it because most writing in this area is either trying to sell you something or trying to tell you off, and there is very little in between.
How we work
We prefer primary sources. Where a claim comes from a manufacturer, we say so and we quote them rather than paraphrasing them into something stronger. Where the evidence is thin or contested, we say that too, because "nobody really knows yet" is a legitimate answer and pretending otherwise is how readers get misled.
We do not publish before-and-after body photographs, we do not run specific pound-loss promises, and we do not present individual testimonials as typical results on our editorial pages.
How we are funded
Two ways, and both are disclosed.
Some pages on this site are paid placements. Those pages carry the word Advertorial at the very top and in the footer. An advertiser has paid for that placement. It is advertising, presented as clearly as we know how to present it.
We also earn affiliate commission on some outbound links. If you buy something after clicking one, we may receive a share of the sale at no extra cost to you. Commission never determines what appears in our non-advertorial articles.
