Dear writers and readers,

This is my secondary account dedicated to publication and curation. My primary account, Dr. Mehmet Yildiz, has a larger following and a diverse array of stories to engage readers. My mission is to curate impactful content that benefits society and to conduct interviews with influential authors.

In March 2020, I established ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications to empower genuine writers and captivate avid readers on Medium.com. Today, we proudly introduce another publication to our growing family.

Our senior editor and content curator, Mike Broadly, DHSc, informed me that a story by David Mokotoff, MD, published in "Health & Science," has been recognized in Staff Picks, with two stories even receiving a BOOST. This news filled me with joy and pride, prompting me to invite you to join us on this exhilarating journey. Welcome to the Health and Science publication on Medium.com.

Chapter 2: Our Supportive Infrastructure

As you may know, we have a strong infrastructure supporting over 28,000 members and serving more than 100,000 readers on Medium. Our community features a Slack workspace, a Discord channel, and a writer registration portal. Additionally, we utilize customized social media platforms to amplify our messages.

We have two skilled boost nominators dedicated to recognizing exceptional stories, which increases the likelihood of enhanced distribution. The Health & Science publication will receive priority consideration for BOOST nominations, reflecting our enthusiasm for these subjects.

As Mike noted, we possess all the necessary tools to begin this journey and grow swiftly. We invite you to join the Health & Science publication, a space devoted to exploring health, mental well-being, fitness, and scientific discoveries.

The first video, titled "Using Light (Sunlight, Blue Light & Red Light) to Optimize Health," provides insights into how different types of light can influence our well-being.

Mike is also an integral part of the ILLUMINATION-Curators team, having curated numerous collections. Check out this unique collection designed for Friends of Medium.

Chapter 3: Meet Our Dedicated Editor

As the chief editor of this publication, Mike may be relatively new to Medium, but he brings over 50 years of experience in scientific content development and journal editing. A fast reader, he offers constructive feedback and fosters a supportive environment for writers.

As an avid reader and Friend of Medium, he strives to provide a welcoming and diverse platform where writers can share insightful stories, informative essays, and thought-provoking discussions on topics such as medicine, nutrition, psychology, and much more.

Whether you are an experienced expert or simply curious, Mike invites you to embark on this journey of discovery, collaboration, and learning, exploring the complexities of the human body, the marvels of nature, and the latest innovations in science and technology.

Our publications promote a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community built on the core values of ILLUMINATION. We welcome authentic writers of all backgrounds to join us.

Summary of Submission Guidelines

Mike has outlined the initial submission guidelines, which I will summarize here. We seek high-quality, engaging, and impactful stories, but we do not expect perfection. You are encouraged to submit raw content that resonates with discerning readers.

We welcome original works related to health, wellness, fitness, and science topics. Articles may cover medical advancements, personal health experiences, fitness milestones, scientific research, and more.

Please ensure that your submissions are original and include a link to any repurposed content from your external blogs to verify authorship. Organize your drafts with appropriate headings, subheadings, and bullet points to enhance readability. Clarity and conciseness, along with credible sourcing, are essential.

Submissions typically range from 500 to 2500 words, but longer pieces are acceptable if they offer comprehensive analysis or in-depth coverage of a passionate topic.

High-quality, personally owned, or copyright-free images are encouraged, along with captions and proper attribution for any sourced images. Here is our photo-handling policy for your reference.

We prefer drafts for review, but self-published stories can also be submitted directly to Health & Science. When editing your story on Medium, select the “Add to Publication” option and choose Health & Science from your profile's publication list.

We accept reasonable CTAs without aggressive marketing and encourage a brief author bio at the end of your story, introducing yourself and highlighting your expertise or interests related to health and science for credibility.

Our volunteer editors will review submissions for relevance, quality, and adherence to Health & Science guidelines. Please note that ILLUMINATION publications do not accept AI-generated content, but such submissions can be directed to the Lampshade of ILLUMINATION. Medium also prohibits monetization of AI-generated content, as previously discussed in interviews with editors.

How to Join Us

To become a part of Health & Science, please submit your Medium ID through our writer registration portal, mentioning the publication's name. We eagerly await your contributions. Personally, I am passionate about health topics, having written over 2000 stories, primarily hosted on EUPHORIA. I am confident that the Health & Science publication will become as impactful as our other platforms.

We invite you to seize this opportunity to share your valuable insights through stories that can be amplified in this distinctive publication on Medium.com, where words genuinely matter.
