About

Wellness Routines is a wellness library and weekly routine builder. Each entry shows the published research it was written from: every source by its study design and year, with its DOI, a link to the paper, so a claim can be checked rather than taken on trust.

The library covers 8 dimensions of wellness across 14 focus areas. Its entries were written from 38 evidence-acquisition reviews that Applied Wellness ran in Elicit. Entries outside the physical dimension carry a beta label, and every entry is updated in place as further reviews are completed.

Most wellness advice arrives without saying what it rests on. Here, a claim is shown by the facts its sources stated: how many sources there are and of what design, whether they agree at that exact claim, what was measured, and any certainty rating a source published about its own evidence, quoted and attributed, or a plain statement that no source published one. Where the sources disagree, the entry says so first.

Earlier versions of this app showed a letter grade on each entry. We removed it: the reviews behind the entries did not do the risk-of-bias assessment a grade requires, and a letter hides the reasoning this app exists to teach.

Methodology sets out where the entries come from, what the app shows, and who checks it.

The second half of the product is teaching the skill itself: how to find, read, appraise and apply health information. The Learn section covers that directly, so the useful outcome is being able to judge any claim, not only the ones published here.

It does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or personalise medically, and it does not give individual advice. It shows what published research reports about general wellness practices, and it names the point at which a question stops being a wellness question and becomes one for a professional.

Entries state their own limits: population cautions, referral triggers, and an explicit list of what the entry will not claim. Those limits are part of the content, not a disclaimer bolted on afterwards.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the United States, or 911 for emergencies.

Wellness Routines is published by Wellness Literacy Co, LLC (dba Applied Wellness). The same library serves several audiences, including individuals, colleges, employers and fitness facilities. The content is identical across them; only the framing changes.

This is a beta. Content is versioned and corrections are made in place. If you find an error in a claim, a dose or a citation, please report it.
