Editorial Policy

Last Updated: July 9, 2026

We believe you deserve to know exactly how the content you read is produced. This page describes our process in plain terms — including where AI is involved, what checks every article passes, and who signs off before publication.

How our articles are made

Lyf.Fit articles are drafted with AI assistance. Every draft is generated against a strict editorial specification that governs structure, tone, sourcing standards, and claims. The specification's hard rules include:

  • No medical advice. Content is framed as education, and readers are directed to a physician for medical decisions.
  • Traceable health claims. Important quantitative and health claims must link to a visible primary study, systematic review, or authoritative public-health source. We verify the source title and URL; a claim that cannot be verified is removed or clearly softened rather than attributed to an unnamed finding.
  • Research grounding. Drafting uses published research and authoritative current sources rather than model memory alone. Sources must actually support the nearby claim, and study populations and limitations are stated when they affect interpretation.

Before an article can be published, it passes automated validation — a program checks its metadata, structure, interactive components, links, and affiliate-link compliance against the specification. Anything that fails is corrected or rejected.

Finally, every article is reviewed by a human before publication. Drafts are staged for review, and nothing goes live until the site's editor, Jordan Hale, has read and approved it. Human review is the publication gate — no article is published automatically.

Why we disclose this

AI assistance lets a small independent site cover more topics with a consistent, fact-dense standard — but it only works with guardrails, validation, and a human accountable for the result. We would rather tell you exactly how our content is produced than leave you guessing, and we hold every published article to the same standard regardless of how the first draft was written.

Not medical advice

Nothing on Lyf.Fit is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Our content is educational. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before changing your training, diet, or supplement routine — especially if you have a medical condition or take medication. See our full medical disclaimer.

Corrections

If you spot an error — factual, numerical, or otherwise — email feedback@lyf.fit with a link to the article and a description of the issue. We review correction reports, fix confirmed errors in the article itself, and update the piece rather than leaving inaccurate information standing.

Some articles contain affiliate links, and the site is supported by the commissions they generate. Affiliate partnerships never determine an article's conclusions, product picks are not pay-to-play, and we never quote or guarantee prices. A disclosure appears sitewide and on every article containing affiliate links; you can read more about who we are and how the site is funded on our About page.
