How we create and review our content

Who creates our content

Our articles, guides and downloads are written by Marina Metry, RD, RDN, founder of Lantern Nutrition, or by other credentialed nutrition professionals. Marina is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with the Commission on Dietetic Registration and has worked in hospital, community and virtual nutrition care, including with people taking GLP-1 medications.

Every article names its author and reviewer, with their credentials, so you always know who is behind the information.

Our clinical review

Before anything is published, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist reviews it and checks that:

• the information is accurate and consistent with current evidence and clinical guidelines
• research findings are described fairly, including their limits
• advice is safe, practical and clear about when to contact a doctor or prescriber
• the language is respectful, non-judgmental and free of weight stigma
• the content is easy to understand without medical training

The sources we use

We base our content on high-quality evidence, in this order of preference:

• clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements from professional organizations
• systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials published in peer-reviewed journals
• US government health sources, such as the FDA, NIH and CDC, including official medication prescribing information

We list our main sources at the end of each article, in American Medical Association (AMA) style, so you can read them yourself. We don't rely on social media, product marketing or anecdotes as evidence.

Keeping content up to date

GLP-1 research moves quickly. Each article shows the date it was last reviewed. We review every article at least once a year, and sooner when there's important new research, updated guidance or a change to medication labeling.

Independence

• We don't accept advertising or sponsored content.
• We don't use affiliate links, and we don't earn money from any product we mention.
• We don't sell or prescribe medications or supplements.

Our articles may mention Lantern's own programs where they're relevant. When they do, we say so clearly, and the educational content stands on its own.

Corrections and feedback

If you think something on our website is inaccurate or out of date, please email us. A dietitian will review it, and if a correction is needed we'll update the article and its review date promptly.

Medical disclaimer

Our content is for general education and isn't a substitute for personal medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always talk to your prescriber or healthcare provider about your own situation, and never stop, start or change a medication without their guidance. In an emergency, call 911.
