Gentsways exists to help men live with more intention, not to fill space or chase trends. That only works if you can trust what’s on this page. Here’s exactly how content gets made, checked, and corrected.
How Articles Get Written
Every article starts from one of two places: lived experience, mine or drawn from how my father, Dee Clement, lived, or a genuine question I think men deserve a serious answer to.
From there, I research it properly. Where a topic touches on science, health, or established expert consensus, I read the relevant studies and reputable publications directly rather than relying on secondhand summaries, and I cite what I find.
Where an article is built on personal experience or observation rather than external research, I say so plainly in the piece.
You should never have to guess whether you’re reading “this is established” or “this is what I’ve seen work.”
How Health and Fitness Content Is Handled
I am not a certified personal trainer, a licensed therapist, a nutritionist, or a doctor.
I’m a chemical engineer and graphic designer by trade. On topics like fitness and strength, testosterone, men’s sleep, or anything in our health and wellness coverage where bad information could genuinely harm someone, I either lean explicitly on cited, reputable research and clearly mark it as such, or I bring in a qualified reviewer, a trainer, dermatologist, or other relevant professional, to check the content before it publishes.
Where that review has happened, it’s credited in the article.
Where it hasn’t, the content is framed as experience, and research-based commentary, not professional advice, and you should treat it that way.
The same standard applies to content on fitness for older men and grooming for men over fifty, where the stakes of bad advice are just as real.
Sourcing Standards
When I cite a claim, it comes from a reputable publication, peer-reviewed research, or a recognized expert source, not forums, unverified blogs, or content I can’t trace back to a credible origin.
If I can’t verify a claim properly, it doesn’t go in the article, even if it would make the piece stronger.
Fact-Checking and Updates
Articles are reviewed for accuracy before publication. Beyond that, content on Gentsways isn’t static.
Where guidance changes, where I learn I got something wrong, or where new research changes the picture, I update the article and note when it was last revised.
Corrections Policy
If something on this site is factually wrong, outdated, or misleading, I want to know.
Email me directly at pyomerez@gentsways.com, or use the Contact Us page, with the article and the issue.
I read every message personally. Genuine corrections are verified and made promptly, without defensiveness, and significant corrections are noted in the article itself.
Affiliate Relationships and Independence
Some links on Gentsways are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. This never determines what I recommend.
I only recommend products and services I’d genuinely suggest to a friend, and affiliate relationships never influence an article’s conclusions. Full details are in the Affiliate Disclaimer.
