How we research and write this
Blog posts and guides on this site are written by the GLP-1 Coach editorial team, not a licensed medical reviewer. Here's exactly what that means, and what we do to keep the content trustworthy anyway.
Who writes this, and who doesn't
Content on this site is written by the GLP-1 Coach editorial team — the same small, solo-built operation described on the about page. There is no licensed physician, pharmacist, or dietitian reviewing posts before publication, and we're not going to pretend otherwise by putting a "medically reviewed" badge on something that wasn't. If a post needs a clinical judgment call, we say so and point you to your prescriber instead of guessing.
Where the facts come from
Every clinical claim, statistic, or trial result in a blog post is checked against a primary source before publishing — things like PubMed, peer-reviewed journals (NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA, Diabetes Obesity and Metabolism), ClinicalTrials.gov, the ADA Standards of Care, and manufacturer prescribing information. We don't cite secondary write-ups or AI-generated summaries as the source of a statistic — if we can't find the primary paper or trial record, the claim doesn't go in. Every post links its sources at the bottom so you can check the original yourself.
The no-overclaim rule
This isn't just a writing-style preference — it's the same rule we enforce on the AI coaching inside the app. When we connect two things in your data or in the research (say, lower protein intake and higher fatigue), we describe them as things that show up together, not as one causing the other, unless a cited source actually establishes causation. "X shows up on your low-protein days too" is the kind of thing you'll read here. "X is causing Y" is not, unless a trial specifically demonstrated that.
The goal is the same one described on the about page: to make your next appointment more useful, not to replace it. Content here is a starting point for a conversation with your care team, not a substitute for one.
Updates and corrections
There's no fixed quarterly review schedule yet — we're a small operation and we're honest about that. In practice, posts get revisited and their "last updated" date changes when new clinical data, a new trial result, or a labeling change makes something in the post outdated. If you spot something that's wrong or out of date, email hello@myglp1.app — we read it and fix genuine errors.
What this site is not
See the medical disclaimer for the full version, but the short version: nothing here is medical advice, and nothing here should change what you do about your own dose, symptoms, or care without talking to your prescriber first.
