DESIGENETICS / TRUST & AUTHORITY

SHOW THE
EVIDENCE.

“Evidence-based” is not a badge. It is a publishing standard: trace important claims to appropriate research, separate mechanisms from outcomes, state uncertainty, and change the guidance when better evidence changes the answer.

01 / SOURCE HIERARCHY

USE THE BEST FIT FOR THE CLAIM.

We prioritize evidence that directly answers the question instead of treating every citation as equally informative.

HIGHER-LEVELSystematic reviews, meta-analyses, consensus and position stands when the question fits.
DIRECT TRIALSControlled human interventions for specific training, nutrition or supplement questions.
SUPPORTINGObservational, mechanistic or acute evidence when direct outcome data are limited.
02 / CLAIM CALIBRATION

MECHANISM ≠ PROVEN OUTCOME.

A plausible mechanism can explain why something might work; it does not prove the size, reliability or practical importance of the effect. Language should match the strength and directness of the evidence.

03 / EVIDENCE LANGUAGE

CONFIDENCE WITHOUT FAKE PRECISION.

We use plain-language signals rather than invented numerical evidence scores.

  • Strong / consistent: multiple relevant sources converge.
  • Mixed / context-dependent: effects vary by population, protocol or outcome.
  • Limited / emerging: direct evidence is sparse, preliminary or indirect.
04 / PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE

STATISTICAL ≠ IMPORTANT.

When possible, we distinguish whether an effect is merely detectable from whether it is large enough to change a real training, nutrition or recovery decision.

05 / REVIEW + UPDATES

DATES SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING.

Material revisions should update review metadata. Older guidance is revised when stronger evidence, safety information or scope changes materially affect the recommendation.

06 / AUTHORSHIP

NO INVENTED AUTHORITY.

Content is published transparently under the DesiGenetics brand. We do not fabricate degrees, licenses, reviewer identities, client outcomes or professional credentials.

07 / SAFETY BOUNDARY

EDUCATION IS NOT CLINICAL CARE.

Training, nutrition, supplement and recovery content is general education. Pain, injury, medical conditions, medication decisions, pregnancy and clinical nutrition require appropriately qualified individual care.

08 / ADVANCED + ENHANCED CONTEXT

HARM REDUCTION, NOT DRUG PRESCRIBING.

Where relevant, training and recovery discussions may acknowledge a history of performance-enhancing drug use. DesiGenetics does not prescribe cycles, sourcing or dosing. Medical monitoring and treatment belong with licensed clinicians.

09 / CORRECTIONS

CORRECT THE CLAIM.

If a material claim is wrong, outdated or overstated, the goal is to revise the explanation and references. Send correction questions to contact@desigenetics.com.

10 / COMMERCIAL INTEGRITY

WHAT SELLS DOES NOT CHANGE THE CONCLUSION.

Future sponsors, affiliates, products or coaching offers should not determine the scientific conclusion of an evidence guide. Material commercial relationships should be disclosed where relevant.

THE DESIGENETICS FILTER

Evidence → Context → Application. First establish what the research can support. Then explain who, when and under what conditions it applies. Finally translate that into a practical decision without pretending uncertainty disappeared.
