Five steps before a page goes live
- Draft from primary sources only. FDA prescribing information on DailyMed, FDA announcements, peer-reviewed trial papers and manufacturer pricing pages. No facts copied from other blogs.
- Fact-check every number. Each figure is matched to its source and the source is linked on the page.
- Clinician sign-off. A licensed MD, DO or PharmD reviews drug pages; a registered dietitian reviews nutrition tools. The sign-off is logged with a date.
- Publish with credit. The page shows "Medically reviewed by [name], [date]" and a sources list.
- Schedule the next check. Each page gets a re-check date on our content calendar.
Our re-check calendar
| Content | Re-checked when | Routine check |
|---|---|---|
| Prices and savings cards | A manufacturer changes a price or program | Monthly |
| Drug label facts (doses, warnings) | An FDA label update or new approval | Quarterly |
| Trial-based weight-loss projections | New trial results are published | Every 6 months |
| Calculator formulas | A reviewer requests a change | Yearly |
What "Clinician review pending" means
Sunny Weigh is pre-launch. Our health pages have been drafted from primary sources and fact-checked, but a licensed clinician has not yet signed them off. Those pages show a Clinician review pending label.
When a reviewer approves a page, the label changes to their name and the review date. If a reviewer asks for changes, we make them before the label changes.
Who reviews our pages
- Drug pages: a physician (MD or DO) or a clinical pharmacist (PharmD) with a current US license.
- Nutrition and calorie tools: a registered dietitian (RD or RDN).
- Each reviewer is named with credentials, license state and a short bio.
- Reviewers have no financial ties to the drug makers whose medicines they review, and they disclose any conflicts.
Formulas get reviewed too
A wrong calculation can hurt someone, so calculator formulas follow the same rules. Every formula is named on the page, any change goes back to a reviewer, and we keep a version log of what changed and when.
