How we work

Methodology

GentleFuel is a small, independent UK publisher. Buying guidance only — we do not give medical advice. Here is how each page on the site is produced.

Scope

  • UK-stocked products only, with realistic delivery and availability.
  • Content areas: walking pads & under-desk treadmills, gut-friendly nutrition, low-impact home wellness.
  • No medical, therapeutic or diagnostic claims.

How we compare products

Every product we recommend goes through the same checks. We share our notes on the page so you can decide for yourself.

  • UK availability. Reliably stocked at a UK retailer at the time of last check, with realistic delivery windows.
  • Price and value. Real per-use cost, calculated in a way that fits the category (pence per serving, pounds per kilometre walked, cost per filter change, etc.).
  • Specs that matter. The numbers that affect everyday use — different for every category. We capture them verbatim from the manufacturer.
  • Suitability. Who the product is and isn't for, including the practical constraints of UK homes and budgets.
  • Last checked. Every product page records the date we last verified its price and spec.

How content is produced

  1. Keyword research and topic clustering by an internal pipeline.
  2. A brief is created for each cluster and reviewed before drafting.
  3. A draft is produced with AI assistance against the brief.
  4. Automated checks run (thin content, missing disclosure, suspicious health claims, site-specific compliance profile).
  5. A human reviews and either approves, edits, or rejects the draft.
  6. Only then can the page be published.

Nothing publishes without a human approving it. We refresh published pages on a schedule and prune pages that no longer hold up.

What we don't do

  • We don't diagnose or treat. If you need medical advice, talk to a registered professional or your GP.
  • We don't auto-publish AI drafts.
  • We don't run aggressive scrapers or copy third-party content.
  • We don't accept paid placement or sponsored picks in our guides.
