How Top Weight Loss reviews medical content

Who reviews the medical statements?

Francheska Capistrano, RMT, MPHMedical Content Reviewer · Licensed Medical Laboratory Scientist (Registered Medical Technologist) and Master of Public Health graduate

Our reviewer is a licensed medical laboratory scientist who holds a Master of Public Health degree and has clinical-trial experience. She is not a prescribing physician, which is why our pages use the phrase “reviewed for medical accuracy” and never “medically reviewed by a doctor”.

What does the medical review check?

• The mechanism of a medication or treatment, and the terms used to explain it.
• Clinical-trial figures, checked against what the cited study really measured.
• Regulatory status, including FDA approval, compounding rules, and what “compounded” does and does not mean.
• Safety statements, side effects and contraindications, checked against the drug label and regulator guidance.
• Whether each claim is backed by the source it cites, and whether that source is still current.

What is outside the medical review?

Editorial content is not part of the medical review. That covers prices, provider rankings, which partners are included, provider descriptions and “best for” verdicts. The Top Weight Loss research team produces them using the method on how we rank, and the reviewer plays no part in them. Trustpilot figures and Reddit excerpts are quoted exactly as captured and are not treated as medical evidence.

Reviewers have no say in which providers appear, what prices or rankings are shown, or any commercial partnership. Provider links may earn us a commission, and that commission never alters a medical statement or a review date.

When is a page marked as reviewed?

A page is marked as reviewed only when it has an entry in our review log. Each content page shows a review bar below its title, in one of two states:

• “Reviewed for medical accuracy by” with a date.The page is in the review log: the named reviewer checked it on the date shown, and that date also appears in the page’s structured data.
• “Medical reviewer” with no date.The page is not in the review log yet. It names the site’s reviewer as staff, but it has not been reviewed, and it does not claim to have been. Review dates are never backfilled.

Our medical reviewer checked the launch content of Top Weight Loss in October 2026, and every page she reviewed carries that date. Pages added later move to the dated state only once each one is reviewed and logged. A reviewed page is checked again when its medical content changes in a meaningful way or when the guidance behind it changes. Updates to prices or rankings do not lead to a medical re-review and leave the review date unchanged.
