Community Guidelines
Our community thrives on respect, honesty, and commitment to evidence-based dialogue. Please review our guidelines before participating.
Respect Evidence
All claims should be supported by credible sources, peer-reviewed studies, or acknowledged expertise. We encourage questioning and debate, but not the spreading of unverified health claims. If you share a personal experience, clearly label it as anecdotal rather than universal truth.
Be Respectful & Inclusive
We welcome all dietary approaches, body types, backgrounds, and health statuses. Discrimination based on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic is not tolerated. Disagree with ideas, not people. Use inclusive language and avoid assumptions about others' lifestyles or abilities.
Protect Privacy & Safety
Never share personal information about others without consent. Do not post contact details, medical records, or identifiable details. Respect confidentiality in discussions about sensitive health topics. If you observe harmful content, report it to our moderation team rather than engaging publicly.
Engage Thoughtfully
Read before you reply. Search for existing discussions on your topic before starting a new thread. Use clear, respectful language even when disagreeing strongly. Avoid spam, excessive self-promotion, and off-topic posts. Keep discussions focused on nutrition, wellness, and evidence-based dietary guidance.
No Prohibited Content
Do not post content promoting dangerous eating patterns, unproven cures, or false claims designed to replace professional guidance. Do not share content that harasses, bullies, or incites harm. Avoid excessive advertising or monetization attempts. Any violations may result in post removal or account suspension.

Nutrition science evolves. Be open to updating your views when new evidence emerges. Share resources and explain your reasoning. Ask genuine questions if you don't understand something. Our community is strongest when we learn together and hold each other accountable to accuracy and kindness.
