Editorial Policy
Last updated: 21 April 2026
Who creates our content
Educational content on FastingBestie is published by the FastingBestie Editorial Team. At this stage we publish under the brand rather than under individual staff names. When a page says it was written by the FastingBestie Editorial Team, that means the page was created, edited, and approved internally before publication.
What we aim to publish
Our goal is to make fasting and menstrual-health information easier to understand, more practical, and more transparent about uncertainty. We focus on educational content for women who want to understand cycle-aware fasting, not on replacing clinical care.
How we use evidence
Wherever possible, we link health-adjacent pages to primary or high-authority sources such as peer-reviewed reviews, PubMed-indexed papers, and major medical organizations. We prefer sources that help readers verify the main factual background for a page rather than relying on uncited marketing claims.
Research on cycle-synced fasting specifically is still limited. When direct evidence is thin, we use the broader literature on menstrual-cycle physiology, fasting, metabolism, and women's health, and we avoid presenting early findings as settled fact.
How we handle uncertainty
Health content is strongest when it is precise about what is known and what is still emerging. We try to use measured language for claims that are not settled, and we update pages when a stronger source, better review, or clearer explanation is available.
Freshness and updates
Core health guides and science pages are reviewed on a rolling basis. Our target is to revisit key educational pages at least every 90 days or sooner if we materially change the guidance, add better sources, or need to correct a claim.
What our dates mean
- Published is the first date a page went live.
- Reviewed or Last reviewed means we checked the page's structure, copy, and cited sources again.
Medical disclaimer
FastingBestie is a wellness product and educational publisher, not a medical provider. Our content is not medical advice and is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of disordered eating, have an irregular or missing cycle, or are managing a medical condition, speak to a licensed healthcare professional before changing your fasting routine.
Corrections
If you spot an error, outdated claim, or broken source link, email us at hello@fastingbestie.com. We would rather correct a page quickly than leave a weak claim in place.
