Straight Health Talk is a health site for adults over 50 who want plain answers. No jargon, no scare tactics, no miracle promises.

What we write about

Men's health, weight, blood sugar, heart health, sleep and stress, and aging well. The everyday stuff people wonder about but don't always ask out loud.

How we write

  • The short answer comes first. The details come after.
  • Every article ends with when to talk to your doctor.
  • Articles are based on published research and trusted health sources, and we link to those sources at the end of each article.
  • When the evidence changes, we update the article and show the date it was updated.

More on this in our editorial standards.

What we're not

We're not your doctor, and nothing here is medical advice. Use what you read as a starting point for a better conversation with your own doctor. See our medical disclaimer.

About products

Most of our articles never mention a product. When an article is about a specific product, it says so right at the top, along with our business relationship.
