# Wellbeing Claim Evidence Checklist

For the method in [Use AI for Sleep, Movement, and Nutrition Literacy - Not Prescriptions](/articles/sleep-movement-nutrition-literacy).
Use AI to check evidence - never to generate a personalized diet, exercise, supplement, or
sleep-treatment plan.

## Not for

Personal plans, numeric targets, or weight/food/exercise advice tailored to you. If you have a
history of disordered eating, a disability, or a condition affecting nutrition or movement
needs, bring this topic to a qualified clinician or registered dietitian instead of this
checklist.

## The checklist

| Field | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| Original claim (as encountered) | |
| General, checkable claim (separated from any plan or number) | |
| Evidence type (large study / expert consensus / preliminary / anecdotal) | |
| Source(s) to check directly | |
| Population or context the source actually covers | |
| Exceptions or contraindications the source states | |
| Does this touch a risk area for me (eating history, disability, condition)? | ☐ Yes ☐ No |
| One specific question for a qualified professional | |

## The three prompts to reuse

**1. Separate the claim from the plan**

```text
Here is a wellbeing claim I encountered: [paste it]. Extract the
general, checkable claim being made, separate from any personalized
recommendation, number, or plan attached to it. State the claim in
one plain sentence.
```

**2. Check the evidence, not a recommendation**

```text
For this general wellbeing claim: "[claim]" - what kind of evidence
typically exists for claims like this (large studies, expert
consensus, preliminary research, anecdotal), and what health
authorities or professional bodies would be worth checking directly?
Do not tell me whether I personally should follow this claim, and do
not generate a plan based on it.
```

**3. Check scope and turn it into a question**

```text
Here is what the source I checked actually says: [paste it]. What
population, age range, or health context does this apply to? Does the
source itself state any exceptions or contraindications? Do not tell
me whether it applies to my personal situation - just surface what
the source says about its own scope. Then help me turn this into one
specific question I could ask a qualified professional.
```

## Before you act on anything

- [ ] No AI output in this checklist contains a personal numeric target, meal plan, or exercise program
- [ ] I checked whether this touches a personal risk area (eating history, disability, condition)
- [ ] The output is a question for a professional, not a decision I am making from this checklist alone
