How we work
The rules this publication follows, including the ones that make it less impressive.
What we publish
Explanatory writing on training, food, sleep and habit, for people who are not specialists. A hundred guides, eight of them open to anyone, and a weekly letter.
The sourcing rule
We do not quote statistics, percentages, effect sizes or trial results. We run no studies and we have no laboratory, so any figure of that kind in our own voice would be borrowed at best and invented at worst.
Where a number matters we do one of two things. We work it out in front of you, from inputs you can check - the protein in a meal, added up from the packets. Or we name the organisation that published it and link you straight there.
If you cannot verify a number on this site, we should not have printed it.
What we link to, and what we do not
Where a guide needs a figure we will not print, it names the organisation that published it and links to it in the sentence itself. There is no list of logos anywhere on this site, and there is not going to be one - a row of institution names on a home page reads as an endorsement, and we do not have one.
A source has to pass three tests before we point at it: it is public, it is not selling anything, and it publishes how it reached its conclusions. In practice that means US federal health bodies and the national guidelines they issue.
We are not affiliated with any organisation we link to. None of them has reviewed this site, endorsed it, or knows it exists. A link is a direction, not a credential.
How pieces are reviewed
Every guide is checked against the sources it links to before publication, and re-checked on the date printed at the top of the page.
That check is editorial, not clinical. It confirms that we have not overstated anything and that every external link still says what we said it said. We do not employ clinicians and we do not claim clinical review. Where a question needs a clinician, the guide says so and stops.
Why there are no bylines
Guides are not signed with an author name. There is no newsroom behind this publication and inventing one - particularly inventing medical credentials - would undercut everything else on this page. Guides carry a review date instead.
How this is paid for
A commission, paid to the operator of this site by its partners, when somebody subscribes through one of the links here. That is the only money involved, and it is disclosed in the footer of every page and set out in full on the advertiser disclosure page.
It gives us an interest in you subscribing. It gives nobody an interest in what a guide says, which is the part that matters for the writing.
What we will never do
- No advertising and no sponsored content.
- No affiliate links, and no supplement partnerships.
- No guide written to sell a program. If a guide mentions one it is because the program was built from that guide, and the guide is complete without it.
- No product scores or rankings. Reviewing without testing is an opinion dressed as a review.
- No before-and-after photographs.
- No promises about outcomes.
Corrections
Write to `contact@nouraro.com`. Corrections are made on the page and noted at the foot of it, with the date. We would rather carry a visible correction than a quiet edit.
When to stop reading and call someone.
Chest pain, breathlessness at rest, fainting, a joint that gives way, pain that wakes you at night, pain that radiates down a limb, unexplained weight change, or any symptom that is new and getting worse. None of these is a case for a webpage.
General information, not medical advice
Nouraro publishes explanatory writing. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for a conversation with a doctor, physiotherapist or registered dietitian who can actually examine you. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, are recovering from injury, or take prescribed medication, speak to a clinician before changing how you train or eat.
