Medical guidelines

We mark any content on the Peanut blog that mentions scientific or medical references as ‘Medical’ content. It’s then passed to a vetted medical reviewer in that field to thoroughly read and edit.

Our sources

Our in-house writing team also refers to the National Library of Medicine, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and other renowned medical organizations for studies to research and support their articles before they’re passed over to the expert for review.

Choosing our experts

With over 2,000 articles and guides published on the Peanut blog, we need a lot of experts to review them all! Every medical expert is chosen by their qualifications and experience, then we categorize our content to match the best expert to review.
