Editorial Policy
Editorial Policy and Sourcing Standards
Fitsnip exists to publish practical, evidence based nutrition and wellness education. The goal is simple, help readers make better decisions with less confusion, using clear explanations and responsible sourcing.
What Fitsnip publishes
Fitsnip focuses on nutrition, behavior change, recovery, and lifestyle habits that support health and performance. Content is written for general education, not clinical diagnosis or treatment.
How topics are chosen
Topics are selected based on reader questions, relevance to real world goals, and whether there is enough credible evidence to support clear guidance. If a topic is trending but the evidence is weak, Fitsnip will either avoid it or clearly label what is known versus what is speculation.
Sourcing standards
Fitsnip prioritizes high quality sources, including:
- Peer reviewed research, including systematic reviews and meta analyses when available
- Reputable medical and public health organizations
- Established academic and clinical references
- Evidence based coaching frameworks, including principles consistent with Precision Nutrition Level 1 training
Sources are chosen for relevance and quality, not for headlines. When research is early, conflicting, or observational, that limitation is stated.
Fact checking and editorial review
Fitsnip content is reviewed for:
- Accuracy of claims
- Correct interpretation of research findings
- Clear distinction between evidence, theory, and opinion
- Practical usefulness and reader safety
When a claim matters for safety, such as supplement interactions, contraindications, or risk groups, the article is written conservatively and encourages readers to consult a qualified clinician.
Use of AI tools
Fitsnip may use AI tools to support research workflows, outlining, grammar, and readability. AI is not treated as a primary source. Final editorial decisions, sourcing choices, and health claims are reviewed by a human editor. Content is published only when it meets Fitsnip’s standards for accuracy and responsible communication.
Updates and corrections
Fitsnip periodically reviews content for accuracy and relevance, especially when guidelines or consensus change. If an error is identified, it is corrected. Updates may include a revised date and sourcing improvements.
Affiliate relationships and editorial independence
Fitsnip may use affiliate links or other monetization methods. Monetization does not determine what Fitsnip claims. Products are not recommended unless they are relevant to the topic and consistent with responsible guidance. When required, affiliate relationships are disclosed.
