How we work on the content you read here. Short, honest, no wall of footnotes.
Bauchgefühl is a two-person project. Marie runs product, recipes and most of the content. Josef builds the app and writes on the engineering side. More about us on Marie's page and Josef's page.
Every article rests on two things: sources and lived experience. The sources we come back to are PubMed, the NHS, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard Health, the German BfR and the DGE. Plus a handful of books we name openly when we quote them.
Personal experience goes in, but it's flagged as personal. If a sentence says “this worked for me”, that's a story. If it says “a 2023 study shows”, we link the study. We don't blur the two.
We read each other. Anything Marie writes gets a pass from Josef before it goes live, and the other way round. That isn't a substitute for medical review. It's what a two-person team can honestly offer, and we're saying so out loud.
Nothing on this site replaces a doctor or a registered dietitian. If something's going on that worries you, or if you're managing a condition like PCOS, endometriosis or a thyroid disorder, talk to someone who can actually examine you. Our articles and recipes are information and everyday material. They are not treatment.
Spotted a mistake? Email us at corrections@bauchgefuehl.app. We aim to reply within five working days. When we correct something, we note the change at the bottom of the affected article with a date. No silent edits.
We re-read our articles at least every six months. Anything out-of-date gets updated or pulled. The last-reviewed date sits at the top of each piece.
The app is our business. We make money from subscriptions, not from sponsored posts, affiliate links or paid placements in blog content. When we cite a book or a study, we have no financial relationship with the author unless we say so directly.
