Blog and Content

The blog and newsletter

How often does the blog publish?

Every five days. Posts are published to the Substack newsletter first and cross-posted to the WordPress blog the same day.

How do I subscribe to the newsletter?

Free. No credit card, no account. Enter your email at the bottom of any page on this site or go directly to marcusclark.substack.com. You can unsubscribe at any time from any email.

Are the health claims in blog posts backed by research?

Yes. Every post that makes a specific health claim cites peer-reviewed sources. If a finding is preliminary, contested, or limited in scope, that is stated in the post. The goal is to translate research accurately, not to sensationalize it. Posts are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice.

Can I republish or share a blog post?

Sharing a link is always welcome. Reproducing full post text without permission is not. If you want to republish content, reach out at marcus@evolutionofwellness.com with details on where and how it would be used.

The App

The Reset Compass

Is The Reset Compass really free?

Yes, completely. No account, no email, no payment. Open it and use it. Try it here.

Does the app store my health data?

All data stays on your device using your browser’s local storage. Check-in history, streaks, XP, achievements, and preferences are never transmitted to any server. Marcus has no access to your app data. If you clear your browser storage or switch devices, your data does not transfer.

What does the app actually do?

You check in on how you feel using a slider. The app maps your response to one of six states and generates a daily path across four pillars: Move, Fuel, Recover, and Mind. It also has a Quick Wins tab for one-tap habit actions, a streak system, XP, rank progression, and achievements. The goal is one small practical action matched to your energy and available time, every day.

Does the app work on mobile?

Yes. It is a web app optimized for mobile browsers. Open it in Safari or Chrome on your phone and add it to your home screen for the closest experience to a native app.

Services

Professional services

What professional services does Marcus offer?

Five services: health and wellness writing, health content review, supplement and ingredient research briefs, health program evaluation, and written movement and wellness assessments. All are delivered over email with no calls or meetings required. Full details and intake forms are at evolutionofwellness.com/services.

How do I hire Marcus for a project?

Submit an intake form on the services page for the service you need. Marcus reviews every inquiry personally and responds within two business days to confirm scope, timeline, and rate. No calls needed before work begins.

Are samples of the work available?

Yes. Illustrative samples for all five services are available at evolutionofwellness.com/services/samples. These use fictional clients and data to demonstrate format and approach. Real client work is available on request under NDA.

Recommendations

Product recommendations and affiliates

Are you paid to recommend products?

Some links on the What I Use page and in blog posts are affiliate links. A small commission may be earned if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships are always disclosed. They do not influence which products are recommended — only products Marcus personally uses are listed.

How do affiliate relationships interact with your professional services?

Marcus does not accept content review or research brief work from brands whose products he actively promotes as an affiliate, unless the relationship is disclosed in writing before work begins and the client consents. If you are unsure whether a conflict exists, ask before submitting a service inquiry.

How do I know a product recommendation is genuine?

Every product on the What I Use page is something Marcus has personally purchased and used. Incoming affiliate partnerships are evaluated against personal use first. Products that Marcus would not use himself are not listed regardless of commission rate. The page notes when a partnership is active and when products are still under evaluation.

Contact

Getting in touch
