How we write and fact-check our articles

Last updated: August 12, 2026

Kairi’s blog is written and edited in-house by the Kairi team, not by an outside agency or a named, credentialed clinician. We think that’s worth saying plainly, since a lot of health content implies more expertise than actually sits behind it. Here is what our process actually is.

Who writes these articles

Articles are researched and written by the Kairi team, drawing on publicly available guidance from established health and regulatory bodies. We do not currently have an in-house registered dietitian or physician reviewing every article, and we’d rather say that directly than imply a credential we don’t have. Where we do involve a qualified professional for a specific piece, we’ll say so on that article.

What we check claims against

Numbers and claims in our articles — blood pressure categories, A1C ranges, sodium thresholds, label-claim definitions, and similar — are checked against publicly published guidance from sources including the American Heart Association (AHA), the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. We link to or name the relevant body in the article itself where a specific figure comes from one of them, rather than presenting a number as if it came from nowhere.

What this content is, and is not

Every article on this blog is general education, not personalized medical advice, and it does not replace a conversation with your doctor, a registered dietitian, or another qualified professional about your own health. Where an article discusses medication, supplements, or a specific health condition, that discussion is general background, not a recommendation for what you personally should do.

How we handle updates

Guidance from the organizations we cite changes periodically as research develops. When we materially revise an article — a changed number, a corrected claim, a meaningfully expanded section — we update its "Updated" date. Minor copyediting does not get a new date.

Found something wrong?

If you spot an error, an outdated figure, or a claim that doesn’t match its source, we want to know. Email us at [email protected] with a link to the article and what looks off, and we’ll look into it.

Why we’re publishing this page

Search engines and readers alike are right to be skeptical of health content, and the usual fix — a "medically reviewed by Dr. So-and-so" badge — is only trustworthy if the person behind it is real and actually did the review. We’d rather be transparent about not having that yet than borrow the credibility of a credential we can’t back up. If that changes, this page will say so.
