Dr. Ted Vickey · The Fitness AI Insider

I believe trust is earned through transparency.

I teach professionals and business owners how to use artificial intelligence responsibly. I also use AI every day in my own work.

Whether you are reading one of my articles, attending one of my presentations, listening to a podcast, or working with me through Tulane, FitWell or BeeWell, you deserve to know exactly how AI is used and where my expertise begins.

I am the founder of FitWell, where I help service-based entrepreneurs use technology and artificial intelligence to grow their businesses, improve operations, and create more freedom.

I am also the co-founder of BeeWell Functional Wellness & Longevity, where we use technology, data, and evidence-informed wellness strategies to help people better understand and improve their long-term health.

I also teach Artificial Intelligence and Health Informatics, Mass Media and Health and other university courses as a Faculty Fellow at Tulane University and at Lionel University, where I help graduate students understand the practical and ethical use of AI in healthcare and business.

Everything I publish reflects decades of experience in technology, fitness, digital health, business strategy, and education.

Artificial intelligence is part of my workflow. It is never a substitute for my experience, judgment, or expertise.

I use AI to accelerate:

  • Research

  • Brainstorming

  • Organizing ideas

  • Outlining

  • Drafting

  • Editing

  • Proofreading

  • Summarizing information

  • Creating illustrations and graphics

  • Writing computer code

  • Analyzing data

  • Exploring alternative viewpoints

Depending on the project, I may use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, NotebookLM, or other AI tools.

Technology changes quickly.

The specific tools may change, but my standards do not.

Every recommendation, strategy, conclusion, and opinion represents my own professional judgment.

  • AI does not create my expertise.

  • It does not replace my professional judgment.

  • It does not make my business decisions.

  • It does not determine my opinions.

  • It does not replace critical thinking.

Every article, presentation, report, newsletter, and client deliverable follows the same process.

  1. AI helps accelerate research and organization.

  2. I review every source.

  3. I verify important facts whenever possible.

  4. I rewrite the content in my own voice.

  5. I add my own analysis, experience, and perspective.

  6. I make the final editorial decision before anything is published.

AI helps me work faster.

It never replaces my responsibility for accuracy.

No system, human or artificial, is perfect.

If I discover an error, I will correct it as quickly and transparently as possible.

If you believe something I’ve published is inaccurate, I welcome the opportunity to review it.

Protecting client information is non-negotiable.

Unless specifically authorized by a client, I never place confidential or proprietary business information into public AI systems.

When working with organizations, I respect their AI governance policies and use secure workflows whenever appropriate.

Some illustrations or conceptual graphics accompanying my articles may be generated using AI.

When appropriate, they are used to explain ideas, simplify complex topics, or improve the reader’s experience.

Many photographs are my own or properly licensed.

If I am compensated to feature a product, service, or organization, I will clearly disclose that relationship.

If I recommend a product because I genuinely believe it provides value, I will say so regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists.

My opinions are never for sale.

Artificial intelligence is one of the most powerful technologies of our lifetime.

I believe it should make people more capable, not less thoughtful.

My commitment is simple.

I will continue using AI to become more productive, more creative, and more effective, while ensuring that every piece of content reflects my expertise, my experience, and my values.
