Editorial policy
Clear sources. Clear limits. Clear corrections.
Health content is easy to publish and hard to publish responsibly. This page explains what we publish, how we source it, what “not clinically reviewed” means, and how to report a correction.
The limit is part of the content.
We would rather say “this has not been clinically reviewed” than imply a review that did not happen. Trust starts with accurate labels, including the label on our own work.
What we publish
Three kinds of content, three different standards.
The standard depends on the claim, not on the page template.
What the product says
Sites, storage limits, dose steps, warnings, and other facts from FDA prescribing information and the product label. We link to DailyMed and date the summary.
What the evidence can say
Nutrition ranges, muscle-loss context, alcohol risks, and similar topics. We use public health references and peer-reviewed sources, and we state the limits.
Individualized treatment
We do not tell you what dose to take, how to titrate, how to treat a side effect, or how to stop. Those decisions belong to you and your prescriber.
How we research
Primary sources, dated, with the uncertainty left in.
A short process, applied consistently.
Label facts first
Product pages and guides start with FDA prescribing information and the product label. We summarize; we do not replace the label.
General education, not a prescription
Nutrition and lifestyle pages use public health references and clear ranges. They do not give individualized targets for kidney disease, pregnancy, or other conditions.
No invented authority
We do not invent authors, reviewers, credentials, or patient stories. If a page has not been clinically reviewed, it says so.
Corrections are welcome
If a source changes or a sentence is wrong, tell us. We review the page, update it, and keep the public correction path visible.
Source hierarchy
- FDA prescribing information, Medication Guides, and product labels (via DailyMed/openFDA).
- Public health bodies and clinical guidelines (WHO, NIH, CDC, professional societies).
- Peer-reviewed literature, with the study type and limitation stated.
- General references for context — never as the only source for a safety claim.
Pages list their sources and a “last updated” date. If a source changes, the page should change too.
Review status
What “not clinically reviewed” means.
It means exactly what it says.
Some health pages on this site have not been reviewed by a licensed clinician. Those pages say so in a visible notice. They are limited to label facts, general education, tracking methods, and red flags — not individualized treatment advice.
If a qualified MD or RD reviews a page in the future, we will name the reviewer, state their credentials, and add the review date. We will not use a reviewer’s name without their actual review.
Claims, safety, scope.
- Medical claims and numbers against current sources.
- Special populations and contraindications.
- Red flags and emergency language.
- Whether the page stays inside general education.
Corrections
Tell us what is wrong.
A correction is not an embarrassment; an uncorrected error is.
Email support@weightasst.com with the page URL, the sentence or claim, and the source you believe is correct. We will review it against the current label or reference. If a change is warranted, we will update the page and its “last updated” date.
No sponsored health content.
- The website does not currently use affiliate links or paid health-content placements.
- The app is the product; the site is not a health-advertising business.
- We do not sell or share health records.
- If this changes, the page will say so.
AI and automation
Tools can help. They cannot be the author.
A short statement, because this matters for trust.
We may use software tools for drafting, formatting, and checking. We do not use AI to invent authors, reviewers, credentials, patient stories, or sources. Medical claims are checked against the sources listed on the page, and a page is not presented as clinically reviewed unless a clinician actually reviewed it.
