About Healthsupport
Healthsupport is built by a product and health team whose job is simple: turn weight, hydration, sleep and energy metrics into something you can actually use.
How we work
Calculator copy is written so you can act on a number the same day — not so it reads like a clinic note.
Calculators use widely published equations (such as Mifflin-St Jeor for resting energy) rather than a black-box model.
Every guide is edited for a general audience. Technical terms are explained the first time they appear.
Published guides go back to the specialist panel on a standing cycle so the wording stays current.
How a calculator is built
Identify a well-established reference method
We start from formulas already validated in public health or nutrition literature.
Cross-check the implementation
A second reviewer verifies the calculation logic against the original source.
Write results in everyday language
Output labels stay practical so you know what to do with the number.
Specialist sign-off before publishing
Nothing goes live without review from at least one panel member.
The specialists behind Healthsupport
Panel members review guide content and calculator logic on a rotating basis. They are compensated for review time and do not write marketing copy for the site.
