Our method

Clarity over certainty.

Rest+Rise makes the strength of the evidence visible. We do not present every wellness practice as equally proven, and we do not promise health outcomes.

Four plain-English evidence levels

01

Strong

Supported by multiple high-quality studies or reviews with reasonably consistent findings.

02

Moderate

Supported by useful research, with some limitations or variation in the evidence.

03

Emerging

Promising early research, but not yet enough evidence for confident conclusions.

04

Anecdotal

Commonly used or personally valued, but without strong research support for the claimed benefit.

What the grade means—and does not mean

An evidence grade describes the quality and consistency of research behind a practice. It does not guarantee that the practice will work for you, and it is not a recommendation to ignore individual health needs, medication or professional advice.

Where suitable sources are available, Rest+Rise links them from the ritual detail screen so you can inspect the basis for yourself. Grades may change as the evidence develops.
