Dietary Advice YMYL
YMYL standards for dietary advice content — HCPC-registered dietitian attribution for clinical nutrition content, weight management content weight-inclusive framing, food allergy NICE CG116 accuracy, and eating disorder content eating disorders–competent authorship.
Definition
Dietary advice content for clinical conditions is YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) — acting on incorrect dietary advice can cause direct physical harm. YMYL requirements for dietary content: (1) **Clinical condition dietary management**: diabetes (NICE NG28), coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn\'s disease, ulcerative colitis), food allergy and anaphylaxis management (NICE CG116), renal disease dietary management, cancer cachexia nutrition — all require HCPC-registered dietitian attribution with relevant specialist credentials; (2) **Weight management content**: calorie restriction content, macro targets, and dietary weight management approaches are high-YMYL-sensitivity because of the association between weight management messaging and eating disorder risk — content must be weight-inclusive, avoid prescriptive calorie targets without clinical context, and recommend professional dietetic supervision for significant dietary changes for medical conditions; (3) **Eating disorder content**: content targeting eating disorder recovery (ARFID, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder) requires specific clinical competency — HCPC-registered dietitian with BDA Eating Disorders Specialist Group (EDSSIG) membership or equivalent eating disorder training should author this content; (4) **Food allergy content**: food allergy and anaphylaxis management content must be medically accurate, reference NICE CG116, and provide unambiguous emergency management guidance — potentially life-threatening if inaccurate.
Why it matters for SEO
Clinical dietary advice content is some of the most consequential YMYL content in the health space. HCPC-registered dietitian attribution with relevant specialist credentials is the primary E-E-A-T signal — and the primary quality differentiator from unregulated nutrition advice content.
