Pinch of Health was created to address a fundamental need in today’s information-saturated world: clear, accessible, evidence-based health guidance for everyday people seeking to understand how nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle choices genuinely affect their well-being.
From the beginning, our mission has remained straightforward—to curate, explain, and translate credible research into practical guidance that empowers readers to live healthier, more informed lives. We bridge the gap between complex scientific literature and actionable insights you can apply today.
An Independent Voice in Wellness
Pinch of Health operates as a fully independent wellness publication, free from the conflicts of interest that often compromise health reporting. We do not accept funding, sponsorships, or payments from pharmaceutical companies, supplement manufacturers, hospitals, fitness brands, food companies, government agencies, or any organization whose interests might influence our editorial integrity.
Our work is driven purely by curiosity, rigorous research, and an unwavering commitment to clarity—not corporate agendas or commercial pressures. This independence allows us to prioritize your health above all else, delivering information you can trust without hidden motivations or biased recommendations.
What We Do
Our editorial process begins with comprehensive monitoring of health research from the world’s most credible sources. We continuously review findings from universities and medical schools, nutrition and exercise science laboratories, scientific publishers and peer-reviewed journals, professional health associations, accredited research institutions, government-funded studies, and open-access research databases.
From these carefully vetted sources, we produce content designed to illuminate rather than overwhelm. Our articles include comprehensive research summaries that distill complex studies into understandable insights, evidence-based health explainers that answer your most pressing wellness questions, nutrition deep-dives that examine how different foods and dietary patterns affect your body, and fitness and mobility guides tailored to various experience levels and physical abilities.
We also create content focused on longevity and healthy aging, exploring how lifestyle choices today influence your vitality decades from now. Our mind-body wellness articles examine the crucial connections between mental and physical health, while our practical habit-building insights help you translate knowledge into sustainable action.
Transparency is central to our approach. Whenever possible, we reference original research papers directly, including journal names, lead authors, publication dates, and DOIs. This allows curious readers to explore the source material themselves and understand exactly where our recommendations originate.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Health science evolves constantly as new research emerges and our understanding deepens. We recognize that what we know today may be refined or even revised tomorrow, which is why we maintain rigorous standards for every piece of content we publish.
Each article undergoes careful fact-checking to ensure accuracy, remains scientifically grounded in current evidence, and receives regular updates as new research becomes available. We maintain transparency about study limitations, acknowledging when findings are preliminary or when more research is needed. We also respect the hierarchy of evidence quality, clearly distinguishing between observational studies, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses so readers understand the strength of the evidence supporting each recommendation.
When we discover errors—or when thoughtful readers point out inconsistencies—we promptly correct our content and acknowledge the changes. Science advances through scrutiny and peer review, and we embrace crowdsourced corrections as part of our editorial philosophy. This collaborative approach to accuracy strengthens our content and serves our community better.
Our Independence and Values
Pinch of Health is built on a foundation of core principles that guide every decision we make. We are committed to complete editorial independence, ensuring that no external influence shapes what we write or how we present information. Scientific integrity drives our research process, with evidence always taking precedence over trends, marketing claims, or popular opinion.
Our evidence-first reporting means we follow the science wherever it leads, even when findings challenge conventional wisdom or our own assumptions. We prioritize accessibility for all readers, crafting content that serves people across all education levels, income brackets, and physical abilities. We respect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our audience, recognizing that health is personal and that one-size-fits-all approaches rarely serve anyone well.
We cannot and will not be influenced by advertisers, supplement companies, or corporate agendas. Where possible, we prioritize open-access research, contributing to a broader democratization of scientific knowledge and making evidence-based health information available to everyone, regardless of their access to academic databases or medical institutions.
Founder and Editor
Pinch of Health is led by Adrian Lewis, an independent health researcher and wellness writer with a deep, long-standing interest in nutrition science, fitness research, and cognitive health. Adrian’s approach combines academic rigor with practical application, translating complex scientific findings into guidance that real people can implement in their daily lives.
Over the years, Adrian has dedicated countless hours to analyzing clinical studies on nutrition, exercise physiology, and aging processes, developing expertise in breaking down dense research papers into clear, accessible language. This work extends beyond simple translation—it involves exploring holistic approaches to well-being that consider the interconnected nature of physical, mental, and emotional health.
Adrian has extensively studied food-as-medicine frameworks, examining how dietary choices can prevent disease and optimize health outcomes. His research into movement, mobility, flexibility, and injury prevention reflects a comprehensive understanding of how our bodies function and adapt over time. Currently, Adrian monitors emerging evidence in metabolic health, cognitive function, gut microbiome research, and longevity science—fields that are rapidly expanding our understanding of human health and aging.
