Credentials verification
License, certification, and board status verified directly with the issuing body — not pulled from a self-uploaded PDF. Anything that can be confirmed in a public registry is. Anything that can't is requested in writing.
Trust, earned
How we vet.
Every expert who teaches on Gaux passes through the same five-step process. No exceptions.
The process
Five steps. Every time.
References + peer review
Three professional references contacted by Gaux. One peer in the same discipline reviews a sample of the practitioner's public work — articles, videos, prior class recordings.
Sample teaching
A fifteen-minute teaching sample reviewed by Gaux clinical advisors. We look for accuracy, generosity, and the absence of fear-based framing.
Voice canon alignment
Editorial review against Gaux's voice and YMYL standards. We don't publish anything that punches down at parents, fearmongers, or makes promises that aren't backed by evidence.
Continuing review
Annual recertification check, active feedback channels from members, and a public complaint path. If something changes — a license lapses, a complaint is substantiated — we act on it.
The line
What we don't accept.
Credential mills.Weekend certifications from unaccredited programs don't count as clinical training, no matter how good the logo looks.
Expired or lapsed certifications.If a license is inactive, the practitioner is not active on Gaux until it's renewed.
Non-disclosed conflicts. Paid affiliations with formula companies, supplement brands, or birth-product manufacturers must be disclosed before teaching. Undisclosed financial interest is grounds for removal.
Fear-based or shame-based framing.“You're ruining your baby” is not a teaching technique. We don't publish it.
Medical Advisory Board
The clinicians who check our work.
Gaux's Medical Advisory Board reviews clinical content, weighs in on edge cases, and holds us to the same standard we hold our practitioners to. Members will be announced before public launch.
