Our Commitment

Outliyr strives to provide the best, most accurate, up-to-date information available. Usually, it comes after we consult with multiple world-leading experts on the relevant topics. As well as reading books and independently investigating peer-reviewed published research.

Our core commitments include the following:

Independence: Our content is created independently from any external influences. We prioritize your interests above all
Quality: We deliver well-researched and highly accurate information
Transparency: Transparency matters, and we clearly disclose any sponsorships, partnerships, or conflicts of interest
Diversity: Health is usually nuanced, so we try to present a diverse range of perspectives and topics

Editorial Standards

Unlike many media websites, we purchase products for testing. If we receive a free press sample, then we clearly disclose that in the content.

Some of the core tenants of our process include:

Research: Our content is based on thorough research from reputable sources and experts in the field
Extensive Testing: To help our readers reach their health optimization goals, we do our homework before even beginning writing. Everything we publish has first gone through ample diligence
Accuracy: Before publishing. we fact-check all information to ensure accuracy and reliability
Balance: We aim to present a balanced view on complex topics and encourage critical thinking
Expert Input: When we don’t have the necessary expertise on staff, we find the most knowledgeable authorities to help us get it right. These experts include doctors, nurses, nutritionists, scientists, researchers, professional health practitioners, highly experienced coaches or biohackers, writers, and other sources

Fact-Checking & Corrections & Content Quality Updates

All factual errors discovered or brought to our attention are quickly corrected and are communicated to readers.

Please know we are constantly updating our old content with new tips, protocols, products, options, biohacks, and improvements based on further study, testing, and reader suggestions.

We regularly review the quality of our content library and sometimes remove articles that no longer conform to our current editorial standards. If there’s an article that you’re seeking on Outliyr and can’t find, please Contact Us and we’ll do our best to track down a copy for you.

We hold our content to high editorial and factual standards. We take fact-checking seriously, and all writers are expected to provide quality sources and data to support factual claims. Editors verify the evidence and reliability of sources to support claims and arguments.

How We Review Products

Our overall ratings factor in qualitative & quantitative insights from heavy research and real-world usage.

We constantly turn out sponsorships and deals for products that we deem are overpriced and/or under-deliver. The products we recommend are priced according to what we’d expect across similar categories, brands, and models. Current pricing often fluctuates based on deals.

Our editorial content isn’t influenced by our advertisers or partnerships. We maintain a strict separation between content and advertising. All sponsored posts are clearly indicated in the article byline.

For more information on this, see our page on How Outliyr Tests Products.

Writers & Sources

Though we publish many types of content, for each, the author(s) is always an authority. Either through personal experience, professional training, academic background, etc.

At the time of this writing, however, Nick Urban has personally written every article that’s been published on Outliyr.

The nature of each article will determine the extent of sourcing and scientific reference. Personal experience articles, for example, will usually contain fewer (or zero) references than scientific guides.

Wherever possible, we strive to include the original research rather than a news article.

Artificial Intelligence Policy

At Outliyr, we aim to provide the highest quality content produced for humans, by humans. When we do use AI, it’s to guide our research and give us new ideas. We believe in doing the work required of writers & editors to publish informative and authoritative articles. This includes rigorous reporting, quality research, and real-world testing.

Then showing our work so that you, the reader, recognize that you’ve come to a trustworthy source. Our guidelines prohibit publishing automatically generated content using AI (artificial intelligence) and/or writing tools such as ChatGPT.

The chatbot we have on our website is trained solely based on the corpus of content (articles) currently on our website. Since it uses AI, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or validity of the answers. Please do your own research and report any inaccurate answers.
