TheFitInside is a one-person operation, and I think you deserve to know exactly what that means before you trust anything I write about your health.
What I owe you as a reader
Writing about health isn’t just about publishing articles, it’s about giving you something you can actually rely on when making a real decision about your own body. Whether you’re here for a quick answer about belly fat or working through something more personal, I want you to leave with information you can trust. Not a headline designed to keep you scrolling. That’s the standard I’m holding myself to on every page of this site.
Who’s writing this
I’m Aayush Jaiswal, founder of The Fit Inside. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication (BAJMC), which shapes how I approach research, sourcing, and writing for this blog. Alongside that, I’ve completed nutrition-focused coursework, including the Health Sciences Academy’s Free Starter Nutrition Course (July 2021) and coursework through the Gaples Institute (2021). Gaples is a Harvard-affiliated nonprofit whose nutrition curriculum is used in medical schools.
I don’t hold a clinical degree, and I want that stated plainly here too. Beyond the formal coursework, I’ve spent years actively following this space, reading studies, and learning from credible voices and creators in nutrition and fitness. That ongoing habit is where a lot of my real depth comes from, not just the certificates. I started writing about fitness and wellness in 2020, and TheFitInside is where I put everything I research and learn into practice. There’s no editorial board here, no team of in-house physicians reviewing my drafts before they go live. It’s me, my research, and a genuine attempt to get things right. You can read more about my background on the About Us page.
I’m not a doctor, not a licensed nutritionist, and nothing here replaces professional medical advice.
How I source what I write
Every factual claim on this site, a statistic, a study finding, a health guideline, is meant to trace back to somewhere real. That could be a peer-reviewed journal, a government health body like the ICMR or WHO, or a recognised medical institution. It could also be a specific person quoted in a specific publication. When I make a claim like that, I link to the actual source, right in the sentence making the claim. Not buried in a list at the bottom that may or may not match what’s written above it.
If I can’t find a reliable source for something, I don’t publish it as fact. Simple as that.
Where I draw the line:
- Real studies and institutional guidance: yes, always linked
- Anecdotes and personal experience: only mine or people I actually know, clearly framed as personal, never invented case studies dressed up as real people
- Trending claims I can’t verify: I either dig until I can confirm them, or I leave them out
How I write an article
Every piece starts with a real question, something I’ve actually wondered myself, or something I’ve seen people ask on social media or in conversation. From there, I read the actual research before writing a single line, not summaries of summaries but the primary studies and institutional sources themselves. That way, I understand what a claim actually says before I try to explain it to you.
The first draft goes down in my own voice, first person, the way I’d actually explain something to a friend. Then comes a revision pass focused on two things. First, making sure every factual claim still traces back to a real, linked source. Second, making sure the writing itself is clear rather than padded out to hit a word count. For this refinement stage, I sometimes use AI tools to help tighten language and catch inconsistencies. The ideas, voice, and final judgment call on every claim stay mine. If a claim doesn’t hold up on that second look, it gets cut or rewritten, not left in because it sounded good.
Corrections
Health research evolves, and guidelines get updated over time. As understanding shifts, I go back and revisit older articles to keep them current. If you spot an error, genuinely, please tell me. Nutrition and fitness content sits close enough to people’s actual wellbeing that I’d rather fix a mistake fast than let it sit.
Articles that get meaningfully corrected will show an updated date, so you can tell when something’s been revisited.
Images
Some images on this site are AI-generated using Gemini and lightly edited in Canva. Wherever that’s the case, the caption says so directly, illustration credited as AI-generated. I don’t want a reader mistaking a generated image for a real photo of a real product, person, or place.
What I publish, and what I don’t
I write about health and wellness because it genuinely matters to people. That means holding myself to real standards about what actually makes it onto this site. I generally won’t publish content that:
- Makes a health claim I can’t back with a real, linked source
- Presents a treatment, supplement, or product as a guaranteed fix without solid evidence behind it
- Encourages self-diagnosis or self-treatment for something that genuinely needs a doctor’s involvement
- Recommends anything unsafe, illegal, or risky without being upfront about that risk
- Cherry-picks a study or stat in a way that misrepresents what the actual research found
- Leans on a scary or sensational headline that the article itself doesn’t really support
That said, I do write about trending, complementary, or emerging health topics when there’s real informational value in doing so. Like new fitness trends or viral wellness claims. When I do, I’m upfront about how strong or thin the evidence actually is, rather than presenting an early or unproven idea as settled fact.
What I won’t do
- I’m open to Write for Us contributions and sponsored content, but I won’t publish it disguised as my own independent writing. If something’s ever paid or gifted, it’ll say so, clearly, not in fine print.
- I won’t sensationalise a headline to say something the article itself doesn’t actually support.
- I won’t recommend a specific supplement, product, or drug without saying plainly where the evidence for it stands, including when that evidence is thin.
One honest disclaimer!
Nothing on TheFitInside is a substitute for seeing an actual doctor, dietitian, or qualified healthcare provider about your own body. I write to inform and to help you ask better questions, not to diagnose, treat, or replace professional care. If something here ever seems to disagree with what your own doctor tells you, trust your doctor. They know your history and I don’t.
