How we earn your trust — and how you can check our work.
Hakim is built by one editorial team, not a newsroom. That's worth knowing up front. What we can offer instead of scale is a paper trail: every source we cite is public, every correction is logged, and every guide shows when it was last reviewed and by whom.
This page is that paper trail — the same pages our own editors use to check their work, made public on purpose.

One founder, working in the open.
Hakim's content is drafted with AI assistance and passes the Gold Standard Certification Review — completed by Moji Tehrani, Founder of Holistic Health AI, whose background is in Persian holistic wellness and long-form health writing — not clinical medicine. The review verifies compliance with the Editorial Constitution, accurate representation and grading of evidence, safety and drug-interaction coverage, communication of uncertainty, and complete citations. Where a claim needs a clinician, we say so and link the guideline or trial we're relying on.
The Gold Standard Certification Review is an internal quality review — not independent clinical review. When independent professional reviewers — a registered dietitian, physician, or Persian traditional-medicine advisor — join the process, their names and credentials will appear here first, identified separately and explicitly, and on the guides they review. Every guide shows its certification review date at the top so you can see when it was last checked.
What "trustworthy" means here
We don't claim to be the biggest health library online. We're trying to be the one where you can trace every claim back to its source, see who reviewed it, and see what we got wrong and fixed. That's a narrower promise than most wellness sites make — and one you can actually check, using the pages linked above.
