Rigorous sources. Honest limits.
Every article in the Knowledge Center draws on peer-reviewed research and materials from institutions including Johns Hopkins Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Stanford Medicine, the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, the National Institutes of Health, the American Psychological Association, and journals such as Nature, Science, Cell, The Lancet, and the Frontiers series.
We distinguish clearly between established evidence, promising research, preliminary findings, and open questions. We do not present speculation as fact, and we do not make medical claims.
