Research Philosophy
“Evidence + Experience = Results Men Can Trust”
Stuart rejects content that fails the dual test of science AND practicality. MenTools articles combine:
Primary sources only: peer-reviewed studies, not blog opinions
Personal testing data: what actually worked (and what didn’t)
Clear constraints: who this is for, who it’s not for
“A decade of building what works for men, rigorously researched and personally tested. MenTools delivers the simple and effective frameworks that all men need to become the best version of themself.”
