Editorial Policy
Our commitment to transparency, accuracy, and reader trust
Last Updated: December 2025
1. About This Publication
Modern Mom Wellness is an online publication dedicated to real, practical wellness solutions for busy parents. We publish research summaries, product analyses, and educational content for readers seeking evidence-based approaches to maintaining energy, health, and balance while managing the demands of modern parenting.
Important Disclosure: Modern Mom Wellness publishes sponsored content and paid reviews. Articles marked with "Paid Content," "Sponsored," or "Advertisement" labels represent commercial partnerships. This transparency is fundamental to our editorial policy.
2. Sponsored Content Disclosure
We believe readers deserve complete transparency about the nature of the content they consume. In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on native advertising and endorsements:
- Clear Labeling: All sponsored articles display a visible "Paid Content" or "Sponsored" label at the top of the page, before readers engage with the material.
- Material Connections: When we have a financial relationship with a product or company featured in our content, that relationship is disclosed.
- Consistent Identification: Labels remain visible on all device sizes and cannot be dismissed or hidden.
Our labeling practices align with FTC requirements that disclosures be "clear and conspicuous," meaning they are easily noticeable, easily understandable, and unavoidable.
3. Editorial Standards
While sponsored content reflects commercial partnerships, we maintain standards for factual accuracy:
3.1 Scientific Sourcing
- Claims about ingredients, mechanisms, or health benefits reference peer-reviewed research where available
- Studies cited include publication details (journal, year, authors) for reader verification
- We distinguish between established scientific consensus and emerging research
3.2 Accuracy Commitment
- Statistical claims are verified against original sources
- Expert quotes are attributed to named, credentialed professionals
- Product specifications match manufacturer documentation
3.3 Balanced Presentation
- Product reviews acknowledge limitations alongside benefits
- Comparison content uses consistent evaluation criteria
- Individual results may vary, as stated in applicable disclosures
4. Independence and Integrity
Our approach to sponsored content follows industry best practices for maintaining editorial integrity:
- Factual Accuracy: Sponsorship does not override our commitment to factual claims. Advertisers cannot require us to publish false or misleading statements.
- Review Process: Content undergoes review for accuracy before publication.
- Separation of Functions: Commercial relationships do not guarantee favorable coverage; content reflects honest assessment of products and research.
We follow the principle articulated by major health publishers: while we receive funding from advertising partnerships, we maintain inflexibility about factual accuracy and do not allow sponsors to dictate claims unsupported by evidence.
5. Health and Supplement Claims
Content discussing dietary supplements, functional beverages, or wellness ingredients adheres to regulatory guidelines:
FDA Disclaimer: Statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Products discussed are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
5.1 Claim Standards
- Structure/function claims follow DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) guidelines
- We do not make disease treatment or cure claims for supplements
- Ingredient benefits are described based on available scientific literature
5.2 Testimonials and Results
- Individual testimonials represent personal experiences and may not reflect typical results
- When testimonials are featured, we note that individual results may vary
- Testimonials do not constitute proof of efficacy for any product
6. Corrections Policy
We are committed to accuracy and will correct errors when identified:
- Error Reporting: Readers may report potential errors via the contact information below
- Investigation: Reported errors are reviewed and verified against original sources
- Correction Notices: When corrections are made, we add a dated note indicating what was corrected
- Transparency: Significant corrections include explanation of the original error
Our corrections approach follows industry standards: "When we discover an error, we will correct the article as quickly as possible and add a correction note. All corrections will be clearly labeled and dated."
7. Artificial Intelligence Disclosure
In the interest of transparency regarding our content creation processes:
- AI tools may assist in research compilation, drafting, or editing
- All published content undergoes human review before publication
- Final editorial decisions are made by human editors
- We do not publish AI-generated content without human oversight and verification
8. Advertising Policy
Our advertising practices are governed by the following principles:
- Clear Distinction: Advertisements and sponsored content are visually and textually distinguished from independent editorial content
- No Deceptive Formats: We do not use advertising formats designed to be confused with editorial journalism
- Product Vetting: We review advertised products for basic legitimacy before accepting advertising partnerships
