Publisher and accountability.
The Nourished Years is an editorial publication published by Stelimasa Direct Limited. The publication speaks as an organisation and does not claim one person’s experience as representative of all women. Stelimasa Direct Limited remains accountable for publication decisions, corrections, commercial disclosures and the standards described here.
An organisational voice.
The publication does not claim that an unnamed individual speaks for all women. General editorial material is presented in the voice of The Nourished Years. First-person experience will be identified as such and attributed only with the contributor’s informed permission.
Evidence and health information.
Health and wellbeing material is general information, not individual medical advice. Sources should be relevant, traceable and proportionate to the claim. Published material must distinguish evidence, practical suggestion, lived experience and opinion. A disclaimer does not excuse inaccurate or exaggerated claims.
Professional review.
Publication does not imply clinical approval. Health-sensitive material should receive appropriately qualified review as the review network develops. Reviewer names, credentials, scope and review dates will appear only after verification and completed work. Review of one article does not constitute endorsement of the whole publication or any product.
Contributors and lived experience.
Contributors must be real people participating with informed permission. Their experience belongs to them and must not be presented as universal. Editing should preserve meaning, avoid unnecessary personal detail and make clear where a contributor is sharing experience rather than professional advice.
Reader participation.
The planned Reader Council will advise on clarity, relevance, representation and tone. It will not validate medical claims or replace professional review. Its remit, membership principles, payment, privacy and conflicts process are set out in the published Reader Council framework.
AI assistance.
AI tools may assist with research organisation, drafting or production. They are not authors, clinicians or reviewers. Material must be checked by the responsible publishing process, and no person, credential, quotation, experience or endorsement may be invented.
The newsletter.
The Nourished Years Letter follows the same standards as the website. Subscription is optional and separate from any future Reader Council application. A subscriber receives a welcome message first, followed by the first full letter after 14 days and then a considered letter every two weeks.
Commercial clarity.
Owned books, related Stelimasa products and any future affiliate relationships must be identified clearly. Commercial relevance does not replace evidence, and editorial or professional review must not be represented as product endorsement.
Corrections and development.
Readers may request corrections through the Contact page. Material that no longer meets this charter should be amended or withdrawn. This charter will develop as named editors, contributors, professional reviewers and reader advisers are formally appointed.
