Frequently asked
Questions, answered clearly
What The HealthChemist is, and what it isn't.
What is The HealthChemist?
Evidence-based health and ingredient education by Dr. Holger Scheib, a chemist. I translate studies into everyday life and label every claim as proven, plausible or hypothesis.
Are you selling anything here?
No. This is a personal, content brand. There is no shop. It's about education, not selling products.
What do proven, plausible and hypothesis mean?
Proven: backed by robust studies. Plausible: mechanistically reasonable or supported by early data, but not yet firmly proven. Hypothesis: a reasoned guess, open to being disproven. This distinction is my core.
Does this replace medical advice?
No. The content is for orientation and education, not for diagnosis or treatment. If you have concerns, consult a physician.
Why should you trust me?
Because I disclose what I rely on. My background is computational chemistry and structural biology with peer-reviewed publications. And because I'd rather dismantle a myth than sell it.
