HealThyRam guides explain health in plain language, so you can understand your body and decide your next step with your doctor or practitioner. Here is how we make them.
Who is behind them
Our guides are written and checked by the HealThyRam team, led by our co-founders:
- Venky (Venkatesh Sharma), co-founder of HealThyRam: Certified Functional Medicine and Clinical Nutrition Practitioner, orthomolecular wellness educator and Reiki Master Healer.
- Sangeeta Sharma, co-founder of HealThyRam: she leads the Art for Healing workshops and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Graphics) and a PG Diploma in Business Management.
Where our information comes from
Each guide lists the sources it relies on, linked to the specific page, in three grades: guidelines and national data (such as ICMR, NIH and WHO); referenced textbooks and evidence databases (such as Gaby’s Nutritional Medicine and the Linus Pauling Institute); and the orthomolecular literature, including the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, which we cite openly for the orthomolecular view. Where a mainstream source exists, we cite it as well. For functional (optimal) ranges, we cite the published ranges of the Lamkin Clinic.
We prefer Indian guidelines, such as ICMR’s and RSSDI’s, and studies from the last seven years unless a study is a landmark. We never cite a source we have not read.
How a guide is checked
Before a guide goes live, we check it against our content rules: no diagnosis, no cure claims, “may support” wording for any product, and a clear note on when to see a doctor first. A guide shows the date it was published; an “Updated” date appears only when someone has actually re-checked it. We re-check our key guides every 12 to 18 months, and everyone who writes or checks a guide declares any conflict of interest.
How we use technology
We use AI tools to help research and draft. Every guide is checked and edited by our team before it is published, and no reader’s or client’s personal health information is ever used to write content.
How HealThyRam earns
We earn from lab tests (with our partner Thyrocare), consultations, programmes, workshops, and our own and partner products. Some buying guides link to Amazon: as an Amazon Associate, HealThyRam earns from qualifying purchases. We choose what to recommend first and add links afterwards; our own products are labelled, and what we earn never decides what we recommend.
Medical note
Our guides are for education. They do not diagnose and do not replace your doctor. If you have chest pain, sudden weakness, severe breathlessness or another urgent symptom, seek medical care straight away.
