Editorial standards
Editorial Process
Every article moves through the same lifecycle before it reaches a reader. This is that process, start to finish.
Last updated
1. Topic selection
Topics are chosen to fill genuine gaps in reader understanding — usually a question someone is actually asking about hunger, satiety, food noise, metabolism, or GLP-1. We check each proposed topic against what we have already published to avoid duplicating or competing with our own coverage.
2. Research
Before drafting, we gather the primary literature: the foundational studies, the most recent trials, and any relevant systematic reviews. See our research methodology and source selection policy.
3. Drafting
Drafts lead with mechanism and evidence, name their sources in-text, and are written to a defined structure (clear sections, a takeaways summary, FAQs). Claims are attached to references as they are written, not bolted on afterwards.
4. Internal linking
Each article is connected to its topic cluster, pillar guide, and related articles, so readers can move from a specific question to the broader science and back.
5. Review
Nothing publishes without an editorial and medical-accuracy review. See our review process and fact-checking policy.
6. Publication and maintenance
Published pieces carry a visible publication and last-updated date and are revisited as the evidence changes — see our content update policy.
