About Hey Get Well
Most health articles stop at managing symptoms. This site is more interested in the layer underneath: what's actually happening in the body, and whether understanding it well enough opens a path to fixing the underlying problem.
The evidence on any given condition is usually scattered across dozens of papers, and it rarely comes with an honest account of how strong that evidence actually is. Hey Get Well tries to pull it together into one clear answer per question.
Who writes this
Hey Get Well is researched and written by Miles Harlow, an independent researcher. Miles Harlow is a pen name.
I'm not a physician, and I don't claim any medical credentials.
What I do is read the primary literature, work out what each study actually shows rather than what it's reported to show, and connect findings that usually sit in separate fields. Every important claim links to the study behind it, so you can check my reading against the source.
How to read these articles
Each article takes a specific question and answers it near the top, then explains the biology underneath.
I try to be clear about the difference between three very different things: what the evidence actually supports, what's plausible but hasn't been tested, and what gets repeated widely without holding up.
That last category comes up more often than you'd hope, particularly in areas where products are being sold.
Where the honest answer is that nobody has studied something, I say so rather than filling the gap with speculation.
A note on medical advice
This site covers published research for general education. It isn't medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it isn't a substitute for care from a qualified clinician.
If you're dealing with a health problem, work with a professional. Use anything here as background for that conversation, not as a replacement for it.
