Nutrition & Consumer Health Editor

Hannah Lindqvist

Hannah edits What Helps guides for clarity and real-world use. She focuses on how an option fits into a routine, what a reader needs to monitor, when results can reasonably be assessed and when professional input is more appropriate. She keeps convenience and cost separate from the quality of the underlying evidence.

How every page is written

Hannah covers: nutrition context, routines, adherence, product formats, consumer trade-offs and plain-language editing. The same rules apply to every guide, comparison and profile. They are set out in full on the methodology page.

Sources
Trials, labels, regulatorsPages are written from published trials, product labels and regulators' safety notices, listed at the end of each page.
Before publishing
Checked line by lineEvery page is read again against our research file, and wording that says more than the source is corrected.
Numbers
Kept with their contextA result stays next to the size of the trial, how long it ran, what it was compared with and who funded it.
Independence
No paid positionsWe sell no supplements, and no brand can pay to appear in a guide or change a label.
Limits
Not medical advicePages are educational. When a situation needs an assessment, the page says so.
Corrections
Checked and fixedFound an error? Write to ask@whathelps.health and we will check it against the source.
