Editorial Standards

How we research

We prioritize primary sources — FDA drug approvals and labeling, official prescribing information, and peer-reviewed research — over secondary summaries, press releases, or social media discussion. When we can't yet point to a specific, verifiable source for a clinical claim, we mark it rather than state it as fact.

Medical review

This is a new publication. As of today, our content has not yet been reviewed by a qualified medical professional — we say so directly on each article and in the disclaimer at the bottom of every page, rather than implying a review that hasn't happened. Nothing here is intended as clinical guidance; it's general education, and clinical specifics should be confirmed with your own doctor or pharmacist. As we bring on medical reviewers, articles will display their name and credentials and a real review date.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we want to know. We plan to maintain a visible correction log alongside any materially updated article, noting what changed and when. Until that system is built, corrections can be requested via our contact page.

Updates

GLP-1 medications are a fast-moving topic — pricing, coverage, and even approvals change. Each article displays a "published" date and, once reviewed, a "reviewed" date, so you can judge how current the information is.

Stories

Our Stories section references weight-loss journeys people have posted publicly online — on Reddit and similar forums. These are not reporting in the traditional sense: we haven't contacted the original posters, and we have no way to independently verify that what they described actually happened, or happened the way it was described. We treat them as one person's account of their own experience, not a verified case study, and we say so on the section and on each story. If a story is later found to be fabricated or materially misleading, we'll remove it rather than leave it up with a note.

Advertising & affiliate disclosure

This site does not currently run advertising or affiliate partnerships. If that changes, paid placements will be labeled clearly as such, and will never be presented as independent editorial recommendations. Commercial relationships will never determine which medications we cover or how we describe them.
