Editorial Policy

Our standard

DayTrellis publishes wellness and education, not medical advice. Our aim is simple: gather what the research actually says about ADHD-friendly daily living, explain it in plain English, and be honest about how strong the evidence is. We would rather say “we do not know yet” than overstate a finding.

How we choose topics

Topics come from the five pillars of an ADHD-friendly day: nutrition, focus and cognitive strategies, exercise and movement, mindfulness and sleep, and environment and strengths. We prioritize questions people actually ask over whatever is trending.

Research and citations

• Every factual claim is cited. We link to the underlying study or source, and prefer peer-reviewed research and reputable clinical bodies.
• We label the strength of the evidence so you can tell a strong finding from an early or mixed one.
• We distinguish a research finding from a practical tip, and we do not present one as the other.

Guardrails

• No diagnosis. DayTrellis describes profiles and patterns; it never diagnoses, and quiz results are not a diagnosis.
• Supplements: we may report what studies have found, but we do not recommend supplements or give dosages. Notes on sensitive topics carry a safety note and a prompt to talk with a clinician.
• Crisis: content is never a substitute for emergency help. In the US, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), available 24/7.

Review before publishing

Nothing publishes automatically. Every note passes an automated validation gate (required citations, evidence labeling, and safety fields) and a human review for accuracy and tone. In short, each note must clear two gates: is it correct, and is it honest and humane. Only then does it reach the library.

Corrections and updates

We date every note and update it as the evidence changes. If you spot an error, tell us and we will fix it: support@daytrellis.com.

Independence

DayTrellis is founder-led and independent, and we are not clinicians. Our content is not sponsored by supplement makers or device sellers, and we do not sell your data. More on the people behind it is on our About page.
