Experts, editorial authors, and visible topic alignment

Health Secrets uses two public profile types: editorial authors who write and maintain site content, and external experts whose published work aligns with specific medical or scientific topics. We keep those roles separate on purpose.

How to read these profiles

Editorial authors are responsible for writing, updating, and structuring site content.

Topic experts are mapped to fields where their institutional work, publications, or specialty align with article themes. That is a relevance signal, not a blanket review claim.

All public profiles stay hidden until verification is complete.
