Body Warnings was founded in 2024 with a simple premise: your body is constantly communicating, and most people never learn how to interpret the signals.
We created this site because health information online is either too clinical to be useful or too sensational to be trusted. Medical journals are written for specialists. Social media is written for engagement. Neither serves the person who just wants to understand what’s happening in their own body.
Body Warnings sits in the middle. Every article we publish is grounded in peer-reviewed research, written in plain English, and reviewed for accuracy before it goes live. We don’t chase trends or publish content designed to frighten. We publish content designed to inform.
Who writes here
Our primary author and editor is James Carter, a health journalist with over 12 years covering preventive medicine and nutrition science. James works with a network of medical reviewers to ensure the information on this site reflects current clinical consensus. You can read more about him on his author page.
What we cover
Body Warnings focuses on five core areas: general health signals, nutrition and diet, metabolic health including diabetes, sleep health, and infectious disease. We prioritize topics where early awareness genuinely changes outcomes — the symptoms people dismiss for months before a diagnosis, the nutritional deficiencies that look like a dozen other things, the sleep patterns that predict serious conditions years in advance.
Our standard
Every article cites its sources. We link to the original studies, not to other blogs. When the evidence is mixed or limited, we say so. We don’t claim that food cures disease or that supplements replace medical care. And every page carries a medical disclaimer because we mean it: this site informs, it does not diagnose.
If you have a health concern, see a doctor. If you want to understand what your body might be telling you before that appointment, you’re in the right place.
