UPDATED AUGUST 2026

2026 Editorial Roadmap

Purple Iris Media is building a focused library of evidence-informed wellness resources. This roadmap shows
what is available now, which research series are planned, and which standalone topics may be explored as
the library develops.

Research can change the plan

Article titles, scope, and publication order may change as we evaluate the evidence. We would rather adjust the roadmap
than force the research to fit an earlier title or schedule.

LIVE

Published and ready to explore.

COMING SOON

A planned research series without a promised publication date.

TOPICS UNDER CONSIDERATION

Possible future coverage, not a publication
commitment.

AVAILABLE RESEARCH SERIES

Explore the published research libraries below.

Stress & Mood Research Series

Planned Research Series

These research series are part of PIM’s planned editorial direction. Their scope, article titles, and publication order may change as the available evidence is evaluated.

Immune Support Research Series

Planned evidence-informed resources examining everyday immune function, nutrient sufficiency, lifestyle factors, and the limits of common immune-support claims.

Hormone Balance Research Series

Planned evidence-informed resources exploring the factors that influence hormone health, where lifestyle and nutrition may be useful, and where common wellness claims extend beyond the evidence.

Topics Under Consideration

Purple Iris Media is also considering standalone guides that may connect subjects across one or more research series. These topics have not entered active editorial development, and their scope, titles, and publication order may change.

ROADMAP NOTE

How This Roadmap Works

This roadmap reflects current editorial direction rather than a fixed publication schedule. Research sometimes
changes the scope, title, or priority of a planned article. When that happens, Purple Iris Media updates the plan so
the published resource accurately reflects the evidence.

A roadmap, not a deadline

The page distinguishes published resources, planned series, and possible standalone topics without assigning unsupported release dates.
