Weight loss is health content, and health content carries responsibility. This page explains exactly how everything on this site gets made, sourced and corrected — so you can decide for yourself whether to trust us.
Our standards
Every health claim is cited. If we say protein preserves muscle during weight loss, you'll find a source — the NHS, the CDC, the World Health Organization, or peer-reviewed research — linked right there in the text. If we can't source a claim, we don't publish it.
Every article has a named author. No anonymous content. Each page shows who wrote it and when it was last updated, and every author has a profile page listing their background.
We separate evidence from opinion. "Studies consistently show" and "in our experience" are different sentences, and we write them differently. When the science is genuinely unsettled — as it often is in nutrition — we say so instead of picking the most clickable side.
We are conservative about medical topics. Our GLP-1 content (Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy and related medications) is educational only. We explain how these medications work and how to eat well while using them. We do not sell them, prescribe them, recommend starting or stopping them, or give dosing advice. Those conversations belong with your doctor, GP or pharmacist.
How we use AI
We're transparent about this because most sites aren't: we use AI research and drafting tools as part of our writing process, including tools that gather and cite primary sources. Every published article is edited, fact-checked and approved by a human before it goes live, and the named author takes responsibility for everything under their byline. AI helps us research thoroughly; it doesn't get the final word.
Updates and freshness
Nutrition science moves, and the GLP-1 landscape moves fast. Every article displays its last-updated date. We review high-traffic and medical pages on a rolling basis and update them when guidance changes — not just to look fresh.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Material corrections are noted on the article itself with the date and what changed. Spotted an error? Email hello@weightlossjourney.fit — corrections genuinely make the site better, and we'd rather hear it from you than not at all.
The disclaimer that actually matters
This site provides general education, not medical advice. Calculators give estimates based on population formulas — useful starting points, not prescriptions. Before making significant changes to your diet or exercise — and especially if you're pregnant, under 18, have a history of disordered eating, take medication, or have a medical condition — talk to your doctor or GP first.
One more thing: our language
We write for readers in both the US and the UK. We use American spelling as our house style, but our calculators and examples work in kilograms, pounds and stone, and when American and British guidance differ (as it sometimes does with GLP-1 availability), we cover both.
