Quick answers about MyProtocol: what it is, how to use it, and what to do once you start creating.
Using MyProtocol
Q 01What is a protocol?
A protocol is a step-by-step routine or guide created by a community member. Each protocol belongs to a category (like Sleep, Nutrition, or Fitness) and includes ordered steps, optional timing guidance, difficulty level, and any products or tools the creator mentions.
Q 02How do I save a protocol?
Click the heart icon on a protocol's detail page. You can view all your saved protocols in the Saved tab under My Protocols in your account menu.
Q 03Is MyProtocol free to use?
Yes. Browsing, saving, and creating protocols is completely free. Some protocols may recommend products or tools that have their own costs, but the platform itself is free.
Q 04Is this medical advice?
No. Protocols are user-submitted wellness routines and should not be considered medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your health routine, especially if you have existing conditions.
Q 05What does 'Under Review' mean?
New submissions are checked against our community guidelines for prohibited content such as spam or dangerous advice. This is not a medical or safety review; it is a guidelines compliance check. All protocols represent their creator's personal experience, not MyProtocol's endorsement.
Q 06How do I report inappropriate content?
Protocols and community notes include a report option. Reports are triaged and reviewed by our moderation team according to our community guidelines.
Creating protocols
Q 07How do I create a protocol?
Sign up for a free account, then click the “Create Protocol” button in the header. Fill in a title, choose a category, add your steps, and publish when ready. You can save as a draft and come back to it later. See contributor guide for the editorial conventions in detail.
Q 08Can I edit a protocol after publishing?
Yes. Go to My Protocols, find the protocol, and click Edit. Changes are saved as a new version so your revision history is preserved.
Q 09What should I include in a good protocol?
A clear title, a concise summary of what the protocol achieves, well-ordered steps with timing and duration where relevant, the difficulty level, and any products or tools needed. See contributor guide for the deeper take on voice, sources, and step structure.
