About First Steps Journal
Last updated
First Steps Journal covers one subject: stiff, aching joints in later life, from the first steps out of bed to the stairs, the nights, the hands and the grandchildren. We write in plain words about what readers are going through and about the questions worth asking next. We also explain the presentation many of our readers have seen, the Japanese Cocktail ritual built around ginger from Okinawa, and ArtiBrex, the capsule made from it. We always say when a claim belongs to the presentation and not to us.
Who writes here
First Steps Journal is written by a small editorial team. We are not doctors and we don’t present ourselves as medical experts. Our job is to turn general, widely accepted health information into plain English, and to say clearly where the evidence is thin or missing.
How we write
- We stick to general, consensus information and avoid numbers or studies we can’t stand behind.
- We don’t publish testimonials, before-and-after photos or promises of results.
- Every article tells you when to talk to a doctor and which readers should be especially careful.
- We update pages when something changes. If you spot a mistake, tell us.
