Simple Health Naturally publishes nutrition and wellness information that people may act on, so readers should be able to see who writes it, who checks it, and what standard it is held to. This page sets that out.
Two people are responsible for what appears here. Articles are written by a nutrition graduate with an MSc in Nutrition and edited by a medical doctor with an MD in Medicine. Both are named below, with their qualifications and what each of them actually does.
Owner and Author
Mezbaul Islam
Role: Owner and Author, Simple Health Naturally
Qualification: MSc Nutrition
Mezbaul Islam owns and operates Simple Health Naturally. He holds an MSc in Nutrition and researches and writes the articles on this site. He works from public health guidance, clinical guidelines and peer reviewed studies, and traces every figure quoted in an article back to a named source before it goes to edit.
His byline appears on the articles he has written, alongside the date of publication or last update.
Editor and Medical Reviewer
Dr. Obeydur Rahman
Role: Editor and Medical Reviewer, Simple Health Naturally
Qualifications: MBBS, MD in Medicine
Dr. Obeydur Rahman is a qualified medical doctor holding an MBBS and an MD in Medicine, the specialty concerned with the diagnosis and management of adult conditions such as liver disease, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. He selects the topics, edits the articles, checks the sources cited, and is responsible for the editorial standards described on this page and in our editorial policy.
How an Article Is Produced
Every article follows the same route.
- The topic is chosen and the question the reader is actually asking is defined
- Evidence is gathered from public health bodies, clinical guidelines and peer reviewed research
- Every number is traced to a named source and checked against it
- The strength of the evidence is stated plainly, including where it is weak, contested or has been withdrawn
- The article is edited, sources are re checked, and safety wording is reviewed before publication
Where a claim does not hold up, we say so in the article rather than leaving it out. Retracted studies, null trial results and effects that come from supplements rather than food are all flagged where they are relevant.
Medical and Nutrition Review
A reviewer may assess an article for factual accuracy, safety, appropriate use of evidence, possible medication or supplement interactions, misleading or exaggerated wording, and whether the article should be telling the reader to seek professional advice.
We apply one rule without exception. A medically reviewed or nutrition reviewed label appears on an article only when a named, qualified person has genuinely read and checked that specific article. We do not apply the label site wide, and we do not apply it retrospectively.
Reviewing an article does not create a professional relationship between the reviewer and the reader, and nothing on this site is a substitute for individual medical advice. See our medical disclaimer.
Editorial Transparency
Each article identifies its author and shows the date it was published or last updated. Where they apply, articles also identify the fact checker, the medical or nutrition reviewer, and any commercial disclosure.
How claims are verified before publication is set out in our fact checking policy.
Corrections
If you believe something on this site is inaccurate or out of date, tell us and we will check it against the source. Corrections are made to the article itself rather than quietly removed.
