Editorial standards

How Kalo approaches educational content

Our goal is to make nutrition and activity information understandable without presenting estimates, general guidance, or product marketing as individualized medical care.

Last updated September 3, 2026

Purpose and accountability

A Kalo page should answer the reader's question directly, explain important uncertainty, and make it possible to inspect the sources or method behind the answer. Calls to download Kalo should remain secondary to the usefulness and accuracy of the page.

The Kalo Health Editorial Team is an organizational byline. It identifies Kalo as responsible for the publication, but it is not an individual biography, professional license, or medical-review designation.

Evidence standards

Sources should be selected for relevance to the exact claim, not merely because they concern the same broad topic. We generally prefer:

  1. Current government or clinical guidance.
  2. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
  3. Direct peer-reviewed studies appropriate to the population and claim.
  4. Professional consensus statements.
  5. Clear secondary explanations when a better primary source is not available.

A source list does not prove every sentence. Important quantitative, safety, and medical claims should be traceable to the evidence that supports them, and conflicts or uncertainty should not be hidden.

Health-content review

Raw nutrition references, product instructions, and general educational content do not all require the same kind of review. Prescriptive nutrition claims should receive review appropriate to their scope. Medication, disease, pregnancy, eating-disorder, and other clinical guidance requires a qualified professional whose expertise fits the claim.

Kalo will show a named reviewer and review date only after that person has reviewed the displayed version and agreed to the attribution. A general disclaimer or organizational byline is not a substitute for that review.

Dates and updates

The publication date should remain the original publication date. An updated date should reflect a substantive visible change, such as revised evidence, corrected calculations, new safety context, or a meaningful rewrite. Automated builds and minor copy edits should not create a false impression of freshness.

Automation and generated pages

The method used to prepare a page does not lower its evidentiary burden. If automation materially contributes to a page, the page should explain that process when readers would reasonably expect to know. Data-driven pages must identify their source and calculation method. Automation must not be used to publish unsupported health claims or many near-duplicate pages for search visibility.

Commercial interests and product claims

Kalo's educational website also promotes the Kalo app. Product claims, testimonials, ratings, member counts, accuracy figures, and usage totals should be current and supported by an appropriate source. Sponsorships, affiliate relationships, or other material commercial relationships should be disclosed where they affect a page.

Corrections

Readers can report a suspected error at support@getkalohealth.com. Material corrections should explain what changed and update the page's visible modification date. Safety-sensitive claims should be removed or qualified while they are being checked when continued publication could mislead readers. See the complete corrections process.
