How these guides are made
Murph Health Commons writes and maintains these guides as public starting points for common health and fitness goals.
What goes into a guide
Each page starts with one outcome a person can say plainly, such as sleeping longer, lowering resting heart rate, or running a first 5K. From there it lays out the steps that move that outcome, how to tell whether they are working, what to expect, the usual reasons progress stalls, and a short safety note.
Sources lean on current guidance from public health agencies and professional bodies, with primary research and good reviews where they add something useful. Citations stay visible on the page so you can check them yourself. A citation backs a specific point. It does not mean every suggestion fits every person.
How automation is used
AI and automated tools assist with organizing research, drafting, consistency checks, link checks, and publishing. They also confirm that every page has a clear outcome, an exact editable Murph prompt, visible sources, and the required safety boundaries.
The current library is field-testing material. The pages are usable and actively maintained, but they are not individually reviewed medical advice, and no clinician has checked every sentence.
Updates and versioning
Each guide has a stable public URL plus internal revision identifiers for the article and for the Murph setup workflow. A meaningful change to either creates a new revision while the URL stays the same. Automated checks catch broken relationships, duplicate outcomes, missing sources, and invalid prompts before anything is published.
Health guidance and source links change over time. We update guides when the evidence, public guidance, safety language, or product workflow changes. We do not add a review date or a named reviewer unless that review actually happened.
What these guides cannot do
These pages are educational starting points, not diagnoses or personalized care. Your medical history, medications, symptoms, pregnancy status, disability, and training background can change what is right for you. Read the safety note on each guide, involve a clinician when the situation calls for one, and use emergency services for urgent symptoms.
