Our Editorial Process & Standards

Trust is the foundation of your health journey. At SashaHealthy, every piece of advice is built on rigorous standards of scientific accuracy, practical experience, and empathy. This page outlines the step-by-step process we follow to ensure you receive information you can rely on.

Our 4-Step Content Creation Process

Rigorous Research & Topic Selection

We begin by analyzing current, high-quality scientific evidence from sources like PubMed. Topics are chosen based on your most pressing questions, not fleeting social media trends.

Expert Writing & Practical Application

Our founder, Sasha, drafts the content, filtering complex science through the lens of her own experience and the Smart Lean System™. The focus is always on actionable, realistic advice.

Fact-Checking & Source Verification

Every single health claim, statistic, and recommendation is cross-referenced with its original source. A link to the primary research is always provided in our "References" section.

Regular Updates & Review

Our job isn't done after publishing. We periodically review our articles to ensure they align with the latest scientific consensus and update them as needed.

Our Sourcing Standards

Peer-reviewed scientific journals (via PubMed, Cochrane Library)
Reputable health organizations (WHO, NIH)
Academic institutions and university studies

Unacceptable Sources

Corporate-funded studies with clear conflicts of interest
Anonymous or unverified sources

More Than Just Science: Our Guiding Philosophy

Every article we publish is filtered through one core belief: everyone deserves to feel beautiful and confident. For us, success isn't just a number on the scale—it's building a healthy, kind, and sustainable relationship with your body. That's the lens through which we interpret every study and write every word.

The Smart Way: Science & Understanding

Understand Carbs

Teaches you which carbs fuel your body and when to eat them, based on real physiology.
