Editorial Policy
At Fast Medical Weight Loss, we hold our health content to the same standard we hold our clinical care — accurate, evidence-based, and honest. This page explains how we create, review, and maintain the medical and health information published on this website.
Last reviewed and updated: April 2025
Our Commitment to Accurate Health Information
The information on this website covers topics that directly affect patients' health decisions — including prescription medications, clinical eligibility, treatment outcomes, and side effects. We take this responsibility seriously.
Our editorial goal is straightforward: every piece of health content published on this site must be factually accurate, grounded in current clinical evidence, and clearly distinguished from marketing language or personal opinion.
Core principle: Content on this site is written to inform patients, not to replace the clinical judgment of a licensed physician. We make this distinction explicit wherever it is relevant.
We do not publish exaggerated claims, cherry-pick clinical data, or present outcomes that are not consistent with published research. Where data is limited or contested, we say so.
Who Creates Our Content
Our health content is produced by a team that includes medical writers with backgrounds in clinical health communication, reviewed by licensed physicians with expertise in obesity medicine, endocrinology, or internal medicine.
Medical writers
Our writers research and draft content using peer-reviewed sources, FDA labeling, and published clinical trial data. Writers with non-clinical backgrounds work under the supervision of physician reviewers and do not publish medical claims that have not been reviewed.
Physician reviewers
All clinical content — including medication descriptions, eligibility criteria, side effect information, and treatment comparisons — is reviewed by a licensed physician before publication. Reviewer credentials are noted where applicable.
What we don't do
- We do not use AI-generated content as a substitute for physician-reviewed health information
- We do not publish content written solely by marketing or sales personnel
- We do not allow advertiser influence over the clinical accuracy of our content
Our Content Review Process
Every piece of health content on this site goes through a structured review process before it is published and on an ongoing basis thereafter.
Research & drafting
A medical writer researches the topic using peer-reviewed literature, FDA labeling, and authoritative clinical sources, then produces a draft.
Clinical accuracy review
A licensed physician reviews all clinical claims for accuracy, appropriate nuance, and alignment with current standard-of-care guidelines.
Editorial review
An editor reviews the content for clarity, readability, and compliance with our plain-language standards — ensuring patients can understand it without a medical background.
Publication & dating
Content is published with a clear "last reviewed" date so readers know when the information was last verified.
Ongoing review cycle
All published health content is scheduled for re-review at least every 12 months, or sooner if new clinical data, FDA guidance, or drug approvals require it.
Sources & Evidence Standards
We rely on the highest-quality clinical and regulatory sources available. Our content prioritizes primary sources over secondary summaries wherever possible.
Primary sources we use
Evidence hierarchy we follow
We prioritize randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, and meta-analyses over observational studies or case reports. When we cite observational or lower-quality evidence, we explicitly note its limitations.
What we avoid
- Anecdotal or testimonial-based health claims presented as fact
- Studies funded solely by pharmaceutical companies without independent replication
- Pre-print studies that have not undergone peer review
- Social media, blogs, or non-peer-reviewed web sources as primary citations
When a clinical question is genuinely unsettled — such as comparative long-term outcomes between semaglutide and tirzepatide — we present what the current evidence shows and acknowledge where uncertainty remains.
Content Update & Review Policy
Medical science evolves. Drug approvals change. New trial data emerges. Our content must keep pace.
Scheduled reviews
All health and clinical content on this website is scheduled for a full review at least once every 12 months. Pages covering rapidly evolving topics — such as GLP-1 medication approvals, pricing, and availability — are reviewed more frequently.
Triggered updates
Content is updated outside the regular schedule when any of the following occur:
- A new FDA approval or label change affects information on the page
- A major clinical trial publishes results that materially change recommendations
- A medication referenced on the page is withdrawn, recalled, or reformulated
- New clinical guidelines are issued by a major medical society
- An error or inaccuracy is identified and reported
Update transparency
Each health page displays a "last reviewed" date at the top. When significant content updates are made, the review date is refreshed to reflect the date of the most recent physician review — not simply a copywriting edit.
Medical Disclaimer
The content published on this website is intended for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should not be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
All treatment decisions — including whether any medication is appropriate for an individual patient — are made exclusively by licensed physicians during a formal clinical evaluation. Content on this site does not pre-determine eligibility for any medication or program.
Important: If you are experiencing a medical emergency, or if you have questions about a specific health condition or medication, please contact a licensed healthcare provider or call 911. Do not rely solely on website content for medical decisions.
Individual outcomes described on this site — including weight loss percentages and clinical trial results — reflect population-level averages from published research. Individual results will vary based on dose, adherence, diet, physical activity, and individual health factors.
Advertising, Sponsorship & Editorial Independence
Fast Medical Weight Loss is a direct-care telemedicine practice. We do not sell advertising space on this website, and we do not accept payment from pharmaceutical manufacturers, compounding pharmacies, or third parties in exchange for favorable editorial coverage.
Medication coverage
The medications described on this website — including semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide — are covered because they are clinically relevant to our area of practice, not because any manufacturer has paid for placement or promotion. We describe these medications based on their clinical evidence, FDA status, and appropriateness for our patient population.
Affiliate relationships
We do not currently participate in affiliate marketing programs that would financially incentivize us to recommend one medication, pharmacy, or service over another.
Pricing and program information
Pricing information on this website reflects our actual program costs at the time of publication and is subject to change. Pricing content is maintained by our operations team and reviewed for accuracy on a regular basis.
Corrections & Feedback Policy
We are committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. If you identify inaccurate, outdated, or misleading information on any page of this website, we want to know.
How we handle corrections
- All correction requests are reviewed by a member of our editorial team within 5 business days
- If a factual error is confirmed, the content is corrected and the page's review date is updated
- Significant corrections are noted at the bottom of the relevant page with a brief description of what was changed and when
- Minor corrections (typos, formatting errors, broken links) are fixed without a formal correction notice
We do not remove legitimate negative information about medications or treatment outcomes in response to complaints. Our commitment is to accuracy, not to presenting our treatments in an exclusively favorable light.
