Wellness isn’t a formula. It’s about finding what works for *you*.

At Greatist, we get that, and we’re here with one goal: to help you discover what works for you and how to apply it.

We sift through the noise, delivering expert-vetted health info through a real-life lens. We’re here to support and inspire, so you can take actions every day to live your best life. Whether we’re talking breakfast, breathing, or brain health, you can trust that all Greatist content is evidence-based, science-backed, and expert-approved.

You can also trust us to talk honestly about mental health, sexual health, relationships, race, and gender — with empathy and inclusivity at the forefront of everything we do.

Read on for more details on our editorial process, medical team, and community, advertising, and privacy policies. We hope you tap into all of Greatist’s resources — more than 7,000 articles and 3,000 recipes, along with workout videos, wellness challenges and workshops, daily newsletters, product reviews, and a growing social community of more than 2 million.

Thanks for being a Greatist and for sharing your wellness journey with us.

POLICIES

Ad & Sponsorship Policy

Greatist receives funding from advertisements, sponsored content, and other partnerships, such as affiliate programs. The reality is that funding from our advertisers allows us to cover more conditions and provide more powerful experiences, including video, animations, and input from a range of experts. Be assured that we’re absolutely inflexible about our editorial autonomy. Other than seeking their input about broad topic areas, we never allow sponsors to influence the content we create.

We follow specific ad and sponsorship guidelines to ensure that advertising never gets in the way of editorial integrity. Greatist chooses the ads, does not endorse any products, distinguishes all ads from editorial content, and clearly distinguishes between sponsored and non-sponsored content.

At any time, all customers — regardless of geographical location — can make a data subject access request by using our rights request form. In doing so, customers can access, delete, restrict, or correct all personal information that they have shared with Greatist.

Greatist will share your personal information with third-party marketers only after you have provided explicit consent to do so.
