Medical Content Policy
How we write our biomarker content
Last updated April 22, 2026
Authorship and review
Every biomarker education entry you see on your dashboard is written by our editorial team and reviewed by a US-licensed clinician before its review status is upgraded from draft to clinician reviewed. We reference authoritative patient-education sources and current clinical guidelines to keep each explanation mechanism-correct and free of diagnostic absolutes.
We keep content in plain clinical language — the kind of explanation a careful clinician might offer a patient in clinic. We avoid hedged marketing language and we avoid hard thresholds in prose, because optimal ranges depend on age, sex, and clinical context. Those thresholds live in our reference-range data, not in the written copy.
Review cadence
Entries are re-reviewed at least once every 12 months, and earlier whenever new clinical guidelines emerge for a marker. A review status of needs update appears on any entry our team has flagged for a refresh; content there still reflects the most recent review but may lag a new guideline.
Our sources
We draw from authoritative, publicly available patient-education resources and from the peer-reviewed clinical literature. Our primary reference set includes:
- MedlinePlus Lab Tests — National Library of Medicine, NIH
- Testing.com (formerly Lab Tests Online) — AACC
- Merck Manuals (Consumer Version)
- Mayo Clinic patient education
- NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets
- Condition-specific guidelines from professional societies (American Thyroid Association, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, Endocrine Society, and others)
- Peer-reviewed primary literature when a topic has changed since the last guideline update
We keep an internal audit list of the specific sources consulted for each entry. We do not render that list inline on the biomarker card because patients don't need a citations paragraph in clinic; they need clean, accurate information. The audit list is available to our physician reviewers and to regulators or auditors on request.
Our medical advisory team
Clinician bios and credentials will appear here once our medical advisory team is finalized. Until then, any content labeled clinician reviewed has been signed off by a US-licensed physician on our review panel.
Reporting an error
If you believe a piece of content is inaccurate, out of date, or misleading, email medical@feelgood.health. We review every flagged item within 5 business days. If we agree the content needs correction, we revise it and mark its review status accordingly.
Limitations
The content on your dashboard is general educational information. It is not personalized medical advice, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace a relationship with a licensed healthcare provider. Always discuss your individual values and clinical picture with your clinician before making changes to your care.
If you think you are having a medical emergency — chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness or numbness, severe bleeding, or symptoms of a stroke — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for lab results to guide an urgent decision.
