About me
I’m Jon Paulsen — a health journalist who has spent fifteen years writing for readers who want the real answer, not the hedged one. I started this site after turning 42 and realizing how much of the men’s health content online was either ad copy for a supplement brand or written by someone who’d never been in a doctor’s waiting room at 6:45 a.m. worrying about their labs.
I write for men over 40 because that’s the age where the questions actually start getting specific. Testosterone, PSA, cardiovascular risk, sleep, mood — these are the topics my readers email me about most, so those are the ones I cover.
How I decide what to publish
I look for at least two independent high-quality sources before I make any claim. Where doctors disagree, I say so. Where the evidence is thin, I say that too. If I can’t find a clear answer, I’ll write the piece as “here’s what’s known and what isn’t” rather than faking certainty.
Every major article is reviewed by someone with clinical credentials before it goes up. When I disagree with a reviewer, their objection gets included in the article.
What I won’t do
- No sponsored content dressed up as journalism
- No “five foods that melt belly fat” nonsense
- No affiliate links in the body of an article (if there are any, they’re disclosed)
- No recommending supplements I wouldn’t take myself
Medical note
I’m a journalist, not a physician. Nothing here is a substitute for seeing your doctor. Use these articles to ask sharper questions at your next appointment, not to skip it.
