MyFibroTeam Editorial Process

At MyFibroTeam, we're committed to providing accurate, trustworthy, and compassionate information to support those living with fibromyalgia. We learn from our members, listen to their experiences, and strive to provide actionable, relevant content that meets their needs.

Our articles and videos are created by experienced health journalists, reviewed by medical experts, and fact-checked by our editorial team. Everything we publish is grounded in evidence-based research and shaped by the lived experiences of our community.

How We Create Content

We Focus on What Matters to Members

We choose topics based on what people with fibromyalgia want and need to know. We listen to members, consult medical experts, and rely on insights from our proprietary research.

We Work With Trusted Writers and Journalists

Our network of experienced medical and health journalists reviews the latest research and offers practical ways to live better. We interview board-certified doctors and healthcare professionals to ensure we're sharing the most up-to-date and medically accurate information.

We Include Member Voices

Our community is built on the power of shared experience. We include anonymized quotes, stories, and videos from our members to show what it's like to live with fibromyalgia. We always protect privacy and never publish identifying information. (Members shown in videos or identified by name have provided written consent.)

We Reflect Diverse Experiences

Everyone's journey is different. Our editors, writers, designers, and video producers work to create content that reflects a wide range of perspectives. We regularly survey members and invite them to share their stories with the community.

How We Protect Editorial Integrity

We Only Use Trustworthy Sources

We rely on respected sources like peer-reviewed journals, nonprofit health organizations, public health agencies, and medical associations. We link to these references at the bottom of each article.

We Require Expert Medical Review and Fact-Checking

All our content is reviewed by qualified medical professionals. They make sure everything is accurate, comprehensive, and aligned with the latest evidence-based standards of care. All content is then thoroughly fact-checked by our in-house editorial team, who ensures all information is supported by reliable sources.

We Update Content Regularly

As medical guidance and standards of care evolve, our content must reflect the latest information available. Our articles are routinely reviewed and updated by our editorial team and medical experts to ensure they keep pace with current medical guidance.

How We Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools

At MyFibroTeam, we're committed to bringing our members only the most accurate and thoughtfully produced content to support their health. We use AI tools in some behind-the-scenes editorial processes, like summarizing research or interviews, but we never publish articles written solely by AI.

Any AI-assisted content is:

• Written and reviewed by a human editor
• Fact-checked by our copy editors
• Medically verified by a health professional

Some chatbots on our site may generate content, like recipes or Q&As, based on our medically reviewed materials. These will always be labeled as AI generated.

Disclaimer

Our content is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It's designed to help you have better conversations with your healthcare providers. Always talk with your doctor or another qualified specialist if you have questions about your health.
