About This Site
Dr. Stewart General Wellness exists to answer one question in plain English: what does the research actually say helps people live longer, healthier lives?
Wellness content online is crowded with fads, miracle supplements, and advice that changes with the season. This site takes the opposite approach. It focuses on the unglamorous fundamentals — movement, diet quality, sleep, preventive care, and social connection — where decades of large cohort studies and clinical guidance point in a consistent direction.
How Content Is Chosen
Every recommendation on this site is grounded in mainstream scientific consensus, drawing on sources such as:
- CDC physical activity guidelines and adult immunization schedules
- U.S. Preventive Services Task Force screening recommendations
- American Heart Association diet and lifestyle guidance
- Long-running research programs such as the Harvard Study of Adult Development, and peer-reviewed cohort studies on fitness, nutrition, and mortality
Each habit is labeled with an evidence-strength rating — from strong to emerging — so you can see at a glance how settled the science is, rather than everything being presented with false certainty.
What This Site Is Not
This site is an educational resource, not medical care. Nothing here is a substitute for personalized advice from your own physician, who knows your history and circumstances. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise program, making significant dietary changes, or making decisions about vaccinations and screenings.
