Editorial Standards
Last updated: 30 July 2026
Yellow writes about perimenopause and menopause, subjects where bad information does real harm. This page sets out how we produce that content: where it comes from, who writes it, what it is and is not, and how we keep money out of it.
If you ever think we have got something wrong, we want to hear about it. Corrections are covered at the end.
How we source Yellow's content
Yellow's editorial content is grounded in named clinical sources, not opinion or anecdote. We draw on:
- NICE guideline NG23 on menopause diagnosis and management.
- The NHS.
- The Menopause Society and the British Menopause Society.
- Peer-reviewed clinical literature.
Where an article makes a factual claim about health, it links the source that claim rests on, so you can check it yourself rather than take our word for it.
Who writes Yellow
Yellow's research summaries are written by Chandni Menda, who is building Yellow. She is not a clinician. The writing is an honest reading of published clinical sources, done in plain language, with every source linked. It is not medical authority dressed up in a byline, and we do not publish anonymous or ghost-written health claims.
When a credentialed practitioner contributes a piece, it runs under their own name and credentials, and we say so on the article.
What Yellow is, and what it is not
Everything Yellow publishes is for general information and wellness. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for the advice, diagnosis, or treatment of a qualified health professional. Yellow does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and it will never tell you to start, stop, or change a medication or dose. Those decisions stay between you and your clinician. Our full Medical Disclaimer spells this out.
We take no payment for placement
Yellow does not sell editorial coverage. We take no payment to mention, feature, or recommend a product, treatment, supplement, or clinician in our articles. We also take no payment for a listing in our practitioner directory: practitioners are included on the basis of relevant menopause and perimenopause experience, not because they paid to be there.
The role of our advisors
Yellow works with an advisory board of practising clinicians. They help shape the product and tell us where women fall through the gaps. They do not author, review, or sign off our editorial content. We are careful not to put their names behind claims they have not made. Where you see a clinician's name on an article, it is because they wrote it.
Corrections
If you spot an error, an out-of-date claim, or a source that no longer says what we say it does, email us at [email protected]. We will look into it, correct what needs correcting, and note the change on the article.
Writing for Yellow
