We publish health content that people can actually use. Not recycled tips dressed up with stock photos, not vague wellness takes with no research behind them. If you write about health and you write well, we want to hear from you.
This page covers everything you need to know before submitting: who we accept, what topics we publish, the content standards we hold all contributors to, and how the submission process works. Read it before you pitch. It’ll save both of us time.
Who We Accept
Contributors come from a wide range of backgrounds. We work with healthcare professionals, registered dietitians, certified personal trainers, mental health practitioners, medical researchers, and experienced health writers who can back their claims with credible sources.
You don’t need a medical degree to write for us. Plenty of our best-performing posts have come from coaches, therapists, personal trainers, writers with deep subject knowledge , anyone who researches thoroughly and communicates clearly. What you do need is genuine expertise in your subject area, honesty about what the evidence shows, and the ability to write for a general audience without dumbing things down.
We don’t accept submissions from digital marketing agencies pitching on behalf of undisclosed clients, AI-generated content submitted as original work, or articles that exist primarily to place a commercial link. If that’s what you’re after, this isn’t the right page.
Topics We Cover
We publish across the full range of health and wellness topics. Some of the most common categories:
- Nutrition and diet: evidence-based guidance on eating habits, specific nutrients, meal planning, and the research behind popular diets. We don’t publish fad diet promotion or unsubstantiated supplement claims.
- Fitness and exercise: training approaches, recovery, movement science, injury prevention, and how exercise interacts with specific health conditions.
- Sleep: sleep quality, sleep disorders, the science of circadian rhythm, and practical interventions backed by research.
- Mental health and stress: anxiety, depression, burnout, cognitive health, and evidence-based approaches to managing them. We treat this subject with care and do not publish content that could mislead people who are in distress.
- Chronic conditions: managing diabetes, back pain, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and joint conditions, and comparable chronic health challenges through lifestyle and self-care. Medical accuracy is non-negotiable here.
- Women’s health: hormonal health, reproductive health, pregnancy, perimenopause and post-menopause, and conditions that affect women disproportionately.
- Men’s health: prostate health, testosterone, mental health in men, and conditions with distinct presentations in male patients.
- Preventive health: screenings, risk reduction, healthy aging, and the relationship between lifestyle choices and long-term disease outcomes.
- Gut health and digestion: the microbiome, digestive disorders, the gut-brain axis, and dietary approaches to improving digestive function.
If your topic fits within health and wellness but doesn’t fall neatly into one of the above, pitch it anyway. The categories listed above are our most common areas, not a closed list.
What we don’t publish: alternative medicine claims that contradict established science, anti-vaccine content, detox or cleanse promotions, content that discourages people from seeking professional medical care, or anything that sensationalizes health risks.
What We Look For in a Submission
The bar here is high. Our readers come to this site because they trust that what they read is accurate, well-sourced, and worth their time. Every submission is evaluated against that standard.
Accuracy and sourcing
Claims need to be backed up. Peer-reviewed research, clinical guidelines, or statements from qualified healthcare organizations are the gold standard. Wikipedia, personal blogs, and press releases are not acceptable sources. If you make a claim about a study, link to the actual study, not a secondary article about it.
We understand that health research is often nuanced and sometimes contradictory. Good contributors acknowledge that nuance rather than flattening it. “The evidence suggests” is more honest than “science proves,” and our readers can tell the difference.
Originality
Every submission must be original work, written specifically for this site, and not published or syndicated elsewhere. We run all submissions through plagiarism detection software. Anything flagged as duplicated content is rejected without review.
Originality applies to the angle as much as the words. An 800-word list of “foods that boost immunity” that rehashes the same points found on every other health site is not something we’ll publish, even if the sentences are technically unique. We’re looking for a perspective, a specific focus, or a depth of treatment that sets your piece apart.
Readability
Our audience includes general readers with no clinical background alongside healthcare professionals. Write for both. That means explaining medical terminology when you use it, using concrete examples instead of abstract claims, and structuring your article so it’s easy to follow even for someone reading on a phone during a commute.
Short paragraphs. Clear subheadings. Sentences that don’t require re-reading. A good health article doesn’t read like a journal abstract or a press release. It reads like a knowledgeable friend who happens to know a lot about the topic.
Tone
Direct, confident, human. We don’t want corporate wellness language full of words like “optimize,” “holistic,” or “empower your journey.” We don’t want alarmist health content designed to generate anxiety and clicks. And we don’t want condescending writing that treats readers as passive recipients of advice rather than adults who can evaluate information for themselves.
Submission Guidelines
Read these carefully. Submissions that don’t follow the guidelines below are returned without review.
Length
Articles should be between 1,500 and 2,500 words. Shorter pieces rarely give a health topic the depth it deserves. Longer submissions are considered if the length is justified by the content, not by repetition or padding. Every paragraph should earn its place.
Format
Submit your article as a Google Doc or Word document. Use heading styles (H2 and H3) to structure the piece, not bolded regular text. Include your sources as either hyperlinks within the text or a reference list at the end. Do not submit PDFs.
Linking policy
- You may include up to two links to external sources in the body of your article. These must be relevant to the content, not promotional.
- One link to your own website or professional profile is permitted in your author bio. Links within the article body to your own site will be removed.
- We do not accept sponsored posts, paid placements, or articles written to promote a product or service. If a company has paid you to write the article, we won’t publish it.
- Affiliate links are not permitted anywhere in the submission.
Images
You are not required to supply images. If you do include images, they must be either original photography, your own graphics, or images confirmed as free for commercial use with proper attribution. Do not submit screenshots from other websites or images sourced from Google Image Search.
Author bio
Include a brief author bio of 50 to 80 words with your submission. It should cover your professional background, your area of expertise, and one link to your website or professional profile. A headshot is optional but welcome.
What Happens After You Submit
Our editorial team reviews every submission. The review process typically takes five to seven business days. We’ll respond with one of three outcomes:
- Accepted: your article is approved for publication as submitted or with minor edits.
- Accepted with revisions: the article has strong bones but needs changes before it’s ready to publish. We’ll explain specifically what needs adjusting.
- Not accepted: the submission doesn’t meet our current standards or doesn’t fit our content calendar. We’ll let you know.
We don’t provide detailed editorial feedback on rejected submissions, but we do try to give a brief reason so you can decide whether to resubmit a revised version.
If your article is accepted, we’ll schedule it for publication based on our editorial calendar. You’ll receive a notification when it goes live. We share published articles across our social media channels and email newsletter.
What You Get
We don’t pay contributors, and we’re upfront about that. What we do offer:
- A byline and author bio published alongside your article, with a link to your website or professional profile.
- Exposure to an engaged health readership that actively searches for the kind of content you’re producing.
- A published credit that you can reference in your portfolio, press kit, or professional bio.
- Social media promotion across our channels when your article goes live.
If you’re primarily looking for a paid writing opportunity, we’re not the right fit. If you’re looking to build authority in the health space and reach an audience that genuinely cares about the subject, this is a worthwhile place to contribute.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I write about my personal health experience?
Yes, with conditions. Personal experience can make health content more compelling, but it can’t replace evidence. An article about managing anxiety that draws on your own experience is welcome if it also includes grounding in clinical research and doesn’t present your personal approach as a universal solution. First-person narrative alone, without substantive health information, isn’t what we publish.
Do you accept articles about supplements?
We publish evidence-based content about supplements when the evidence is strong enough to warrant it. An article about the sleep research on magnesium, for example, is fair game. An article that reads like a product recommendation or makes claims the science doesn’t support will be rejected. Be accurate about what the research shows and what it doesn’t.
Can I republish my article elsewhere after it runs here?
No. We require that submissions be original and exclusive to this site. Once published here, the article should not be republished in full on another platform. You’re welcome to write a shorter summary or a different take on the same topic for another outlet, but the piece you submit to us should remain here.
I’m a healthcare professional. Do I get preferential treatment?
Your credentials will be noted in your bio and lend credibility to your article. The submission process is the same regardless of professional background. A well-written, well-sourced piece from a personal trainer will be accepted ahead of a poorly structured article from a physician. Credentials inform context; they don’t substitute for quality.
What if my pitch gets rejected but I want to try again?
You’re welcome to revise and resubmit based on the feedback provided. If you’re pitching a different topic, there’s no waiting period. We don’t maintain a blacklist of contributors whose first submission wasn’t a fit.
How long before I hear back?
Five to seven business days for most submissions. During periods of high volume, that can stretch to ten business days. If you haven’t heard back after two weeks, a follow-up email is fine.
How to Submit
Two options:
- Pitch first: send us a brief pitch of two to four sentences describing your proposed topic, your intended angle, and a sentence about your background. This is the faster route if you’re not sure whether your topic is a fit.
- Submit directly: if you’ve read these guidelines carefully and you’re confident your article meets the standards described, send the full draft.
Send pitches and full submissions to: [admin@tec2med.com or tec2med2@gmail.com]
Use the subject line: Guest Post Submission: [Your Article Title]
Include the following in your email:
- Your full name and professional title or background
- The article title and topic
- A link to your Google Doc or an attached Word document
- Your author bio (50 to 80 words)
- Any relevant links to previous published work
We read every submission. We don’t accept generic outreach emails that begin with ‘I came across your site and would love to contribute.’ If you haven’t read this page, it shows. Take the time, follow the process, and your chances of acceptance go up considerably.
A Note on Quality
Health content carries real-world consequences. A reader who acts on inaccurate nutritional advice, or who’s discouraged from seeking professional help because of something they read here, is a real problem, not a theoretical one. We take that seriously, and we expect our contributors to as well.
The best submissions we receive come from people who wrote the article they genuinely wished existed on this topic: thorough, honest about complexity, and useful to someone who actually has the condition or question being addressed. That’s the bar. It’s not a low one, but it’s a fair one.
We look forward to reading what you send.
