Natural Me Editorial standards and credentials

The short version

Everything on this site is written or reviewed by Nathaniel Szerezla, a trained chef and a certified naturopathic chef from CNM, the College of Naturopathic Medicine in King's Cross, London, together with an editorial circle of certified naturopaths, professional chefs, registered nutritionists and invited leaders in the field. We cite sources, we say plainly when evidence is thin, and nobody can pay to appear here.

The person behind it

Natural Me is founded and edited by Nathaniel Szerezla. Two credentials matter here, and they are different kinds.

The kitchen. Nathaniel trained and worked as a chef. Most nutrition writing is produced by people who research food; his is produced by someone who has cooked it professionally, which is why the recipes on this site care about technique and why the advice keeps returning to what is practical on a weeknight.

The clinic. He is a certified naturopathic chef, trained at CNM, the College of Naturopathic Medicine in King's Cross, London. That training covers nutrition science and the evidence base for natural approaches, and it is the reason articles here carry safety notes, interaction warnings and referral advice rather than enthusiasm alone.

Around the two sits a decade of building businesses. He has led growth and marketing for global technology ecosystems, taken products from first prototype to launch, grown communities past three hundred thousand people, advised founders on fundraising and brand, and founded, scaled and sold ventures of his own, including in food and wellness. That operator's discipline shapes this site: clear promises, honest measurement, and no claim that cannot survive scrutiny.

The team around it

Natural Me is not a one-person newsletter. Alongside the founder sits a working editorial circle: certified naturopaths, professional chefs, registered nutritionists and invited specialists from across the health and food world. Some write, some review, some argue in the margins. Every article is checked by at least one qualified reviewer before it is published, and expert-contributed pieces are credited to their authors as the roster grows.

How we handle evidence

Health content is held to a higher standard than other writing, and it should be. Ours works to five rules.

Named sources
Claims cite the NHS, NICE, peer-reviewed research or named institutions. "Studies show" on its own is not good enough.
Stated uncertainty
Where evidence is thin or contested, the article says so in plain words. Collagen, bone broth and most adaptogens carry exactly those caveats here.
No treatment claims
Food supports health. It does not treat disease. Persistent symptoms need a GP, and our articles say so prominently rather than in small print.
No pay-to-play
No brand can pay for coverage, placement or a score. Products in our Market are graded by the same algorithm we point at everything else.
Dated and reviewed
Articles carry their publication date. When the evidence moves, the article moves.

What Natural Me is

An iOS app and marketplace built on one idea: food is the health decision you make most often, so it is the one worth getting right. The app scans supermarket products and scores them honestly, then shows you what to do about it, with protocols across nineteen health categories. The blog is the same thinking, written down and free.
