On this page
Your next step: When a health post raises a question, save the exact claim and where it came from. Use this sheet to separate what the page says from what you still need explained. You do not have to settle a medical question before speaking to a practitioner.
Print the fields or copy them into private notes. Yellow at spotyellow.in does not verify a claim you enter here or save your answers. This is a reading aid, not a fact-checking score or a way to choose treatment. Do not postpone medical help while completing it.
Keep the claim and its context together
Choose one claim rather than trying to review an entire feed. A short quotation can preserve the wording; keep your interpretation in a separate field.
The claim, in the author's words: ____________________
Page title and link, or where I saw it: ____________________
Date I read it: ____________________
What I think it means: ____________________
The question it raises for me: ____________________
If you only have a screenshot or forwarded message, record that. Leave the original source as “not found” until you locate it. Do not fill in an author or date from guesswork.
Record who is speaking
Look for the named author, publishing organisation and date on the actual page. Record what is displayed without treating a title, logo or polished design as a verdict on the claim.
Named author and stated role: ____________________
Publishing organisation: ____________________
Publication or review date shown: ____________________
Is the page selling or promoting something? What is visible? ____________________
Any funding or sponsorship statement shown: ____________________
A missing statement belongs in your unanswered questions. These fields are observations, not proof that a claim is true or false.
Follow the reference, if there is one
Open the cited link and check whether it leads to the source the page names. Keep a note of access limits, such as an abstract without the full paper. You do not need to purchase access to complete this sheet.
| What the post cites | Where the link goes | What I could read | What remains unclear |
|---|---|---|---|
Does the source discuss the same question as the post? What wording can I point to? ____________________
Who or what was studied, if stated: ____________________
Limitations or qualifications I noticed: ____________________
If the technical language is unclear, copy the term into your question box. Finding a paper does not mean you have established what it means for your own care.
Turn the uncertainty into a question
Choose a question you can bring to a conversation rather than a conclusion you feel obliged to reach.
My question: “I read ______ at ______. I am unsure whether it applies to my situation because ______. Can you explain how I should think about this?”
What I would like explained in plain language: ____________________
What I am currently doing that the practitioner should know about: ____________________
Use the appointment preparation sheet to put this question beside your main reason for the visit. If the claim concerns testing, the test-request question sheet helps you record what you want a proposed test to clarify.
Keep the answer with the source
Who I asked and when: ____________________
Explanation received, or where I saved it: ____________________
What is still unanswered: ____________________
Keep the original link beside your notes so a later conversation can refer to the same material. A completed worksheet does not approve a medicine, supplement, test or programme.
For information about Yellow's programme, you can visit Yellow for Hormones. Apply the same separation here: programme information describes an offering; it is not independent evidence that a health claim is correct or that an offering is right for you.
