How we research.
SkinnyLyfe doesn't make medical claims. Every dispatch on the Lyfe Wire is curated by SkinnyLyfe AI from primary sources — MedlinePlus (NIH), PubMed, the FDA's openFDA labels, the USDA, and ClinicalTrials.gov — and every specific claim links back to its source so you can verify it yourself.
The citation contract
Any specific study finding, drug fact, statistic, or trial detail MUST include an inline link to a real primary source. URLs come from live API calls to NIH / FDA / USDA databases — never invented. If we can't find a source for a claim, we drop the claim or hedge it.
AI-curated, human-reviewed framing
Dispatches are written by SkinnyLyfe AI Editorial — an AI workflow built on Anthropic's Claude that pulls live research, drafts the article in plain English, and cites every source. We disclose this clearly on every article. Framing is always "according to the source," never "SkinnyLyfe claims."
Not medical advice
SkinnyLyfe is an AI companion service — we surface third-party research and help you understand it in plain language. We are not a medical service. We don't diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always talk to your prescriber about your situation, especially for dosing, side effects, or symptoms that concern you.
