I’m Gerald O’Connor, and I write all the content on OptimiseDiet.org. This site is focused on diet, health, and sustainability – specifically, how everyday food choices can improve both personal wellbeing and the health of the planet.
Content Standards
Everything I publish is guided by three principles:
- Accuracy – I rely on current, peer-reviewed research and trustworthy nutrition sources. I reference credible studies and aim to explain them in clear, practical terms.
- Independence – I don’t accept sponsorships, affiliate payments, or any form of compensation that could bias my writing. My recommendations are based solely on evidence and what I believe is useful.
- Clarity and Simplicity – I avoid jargon. I want readers to understand the “why” behind each tip or recommendation, not just follow it blindly.
My Process
Before publishing any article, I:
- Research thoroughly – I review current scientific literature and compare multiple sources.
- Write with context – I consider the environmental impact and long-term sustainability of dietary advice, not just immediate health outcomes.
- Review regularly – I update posts when new research emerges or when older content no longer reflects best practices.
Human-Created, Human-Reviewed
All content is written and reviewed by me. I do not use AI to generate articles. Any tools I use (like grammar checkers or research databases) are there to support, not replace, my judgment as a writer with a background in nutrition.
No Plagiarism, Ever
Every article is original. I never copy content from other sites. When I refer to someone else’s ideas or studies, I cite the source clearly.
Corrections
If I make an error – factual, grammatical, or otherwise – I correct it quickly. If you spot something wrong, feel free to contact me directly.
