Who we are

How we create content
We believe in transparency about our editorial process. Every article published on Life in Balance MD follows these steps:
- Physician-led research: Our medical team identifies topics, reviews current literature, and determines key clinical insights.
- AI-assisted drafting: We use AI tools to help structure content, improve clarity, and ensure readability. AI assists with writing but never replaces medical judgment.
- Medical review and editing: Dr. Amine Segueni and our physician contributors review every article for accuracy, add clinical context, verify citations, and ensure medical appropriateness.
- Final verification: All medical claims are cross-checked against peer-reviewed sources before publication.
The bottom line: AI helps us write faster and clearer, but physicians make all medical decisions, verify all facts, and take full responsibility for content accuracy. Think of AI as a research assistant and writing tool, not a replacement for clinical expertise.
Trust & transparency
Our standards are simple: we cite peer-reviewed research, summarize evidence clearly, and disclose potential conflicts. We are independent and not sponsored by pharmaceutical or commercial interests. When we update guidance, we note the change and link to the source.
Selected sources we rely on: peer-reviewed journals (NEJM, Lancet, JAMA), major medical societies (AHA, ACC, NLA), and public health agencies (CDC, WHO). All citations appear at the end of each article.
Editorial independence: No pharmaceutical companies, supplement manufacturers, or commercial entities influence our content. When we mention specific products or services, it’s based solely on clinical evidence and reader benefit.
