Explore My Body Plan

Our evidence standard

Know what a claim means.

A useful explanation tells you where it comes from, who it applies to and what remains unknown. A citation should help you inspect the reasoning.

Three different kinds of statement

Keep the distinctions.

01

What Maddy says about his work

His natural-training commitment, teaching approach and supplied professional descriptions explain who he is. They do not, by themselves, establish an independently verified client outcome or an academic research affiliation.

Personal account: Maddy describes a commitment to long-term fitness.

02

What the service includes

A weekly check-in, form feedback or a written summary describes support the service promises to deliver. It is different from a guarantee about someone’s weight, confidence, health or lifetime habits.

Service commitment: a personal reply to the weekly check-in within 24 hours.

03

What published evidence supports

Research and official guidance concern defined populations, questions and conditions. A finding in healthy adults is not automatically applicable to a child or a person with a particular medical condition.

A study about exercise does not test every exercise plan—or validate FBM’s results.

Read a number with its meaning

Precise arithmetic.
Honest limits.

If a hypothetical label says 10 grams per 100 grams, the stated 40-gram amount contains 4 grams by arithmetic. That does not make 40 grams your recommended portion.

Our learning tools separate the input, calculation and interpretation. They do not diagnose your body, predict a hormone level, assign a health score or calculate years of life.

What you will find beside a lesson

Enough context to ask questions.

  • A source you can open.Official guidance and original research are linked near the relevant explanation. Sources can differ in purpose and strength.
  • A population and a boundary.We distinguish general education from individual advice, and children’s learning from adult training and diet questions.
  • Examples that identify themselves.Illustrative situations are labelled as fictional. They are not hidden testimonials or records of a client’s results.
  • Room for uncertainty.A research finding is not a guarantee. Clinical concerns belong with appropriately qualified health professionals.

The lessons are educational content. They are not an independent clinical review of My Body Plan, a substitute for medical care or a promise that the same result applies to everyone.
