HOW WE MAKE LUMIPIE
We start by selecting a diet for review, like the vegetarian diet.
Scientific publications about this diet are collected, leaving none excluded (no 'cherry-picking'). We focus specifically on systematic reviews and meta-analyses, because they already condense existing research.
Essential details from each publication are extracted and organized into a comprehensive database, including details about the participants, study results, methods used, and any possible biases.
We objectively grade the quality of evidence in our database. This step is crucial, and we have designed our strong approach using trusted tools like GRADE, AMSTAR, and NutriGrade.
Now our database is transofmed into a user-friendly format. All information including particular health changes and quality of evidence are presented in interactive charts and summaries. And it is your turn to take action!
OUR STORY
We know many people want to understand which diet is best for their health. The Internet offers plenty of advice, but have you noticed the overwhelming flood of dietary claims? Confident voices loudly say, “Eat this, not that!” Yet much of this advice is either unsupported by science or biased.
That is why we decided to create LumiPie, a platform with three clear goals:
Our mission is to make LumiPie a trusted resource, empowering people with knowledge on their journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Yelena is dedicated to helping her patients in every possible way and believes that improving health literacy is of paramount importance in enhancing overall health.
Yelena has more than 10 years of experience as a family doctor, and holds degrees in Public Health and Health Economy. She ensures accuracy of LumiPie and develops social media dissemination strategy.
We are a small team of nerds, who invest hundreds of hours each month to 'bake' LumiPie. We remain independent, without running ads or affiliating with external organizations. This project is entirely self-funded. That is why your support is very important to help us continue delivering high-quality scientific content.
