Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: December 22, 2026

We're going to be completely transparent about how this site makes money.

The Direct Answer

We earn affiliate commissions when you sign up for services through our links. If you click a link to a telehealth provider, pharmacy service, or related product and create an account or make a purchase, we typically receive a commission from that company.

Additionally: This site may be owned by or affiliated with a company that operates in the healthcare, marketing, or media space. We may receive compensation for creating and publishing content about specific providers or products, beyond standard affiliate commissions.

This is how we fund the research, writing, and operation of this site.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

Here's the straightforward explanation:

  1. We research and review GLP-1 medication providers, telehealth platforms, and related services
  2. We publish honest reviews based on our research, not on commission rates
  3. We include affiliate links where relevant and appropriate
  4. You click a link and visit the provider's site
  5. You create an account or purchase (your choice, no pressure)
  6. The provider pays us a commission for the referral

Important: The commission comes from the provider's marketing budget, not from an upcharge to you. You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to their site.

What This Means for Our Reviews

Our Editorial Standards

We review providers we'd consider using ourselves. If a service pays high commissions but delivers poor quality, we'll say so. Our credibility with you is worth more than any single commission.

Commissions don't determine ratings. We've turned down affiliate partnerships with providers we didn't feel comfortable recommending. We've also given critical reviews to providers we have affiliate relationships with.

We update reviews when things change. If a provider we've recommended degrades in quality, we'll update our review—even if it means lost revenue.

We disclose affiliate relationships clearly. You'll see notes like "We earn a commission if you use this link" or "This is an affiliate link" wherever relevant.

What We Won't Do

Corporate Ownership & How Rankings Are Determined

Important Disclosure

This website may be owned by or affiliated with a company that has business relationships with some of the providers we review. We may receive compensation for creating content, in addition to affiliate commissions.

Our rankings and recommendations may be influenced by:

  • Affiliate commission rates and structures
  • Corporate ownership relationships
  • Sponsored content agreements
  • Marketing partnerships
  • Direct compensation for featuring providers

How This Affects Our Content

Paid Content: We may be compensated to create articles about specific providers, medications, or topics. This compensation can come from direct payments, marketing agreements, or corporate ownership relationships.

Rankings & Recommendations: While we strive to provide accurate, research-based information, our provider rankings, "Best Of" lists, and featured recommendations may prioritize providers we have financial relationships with.

What This Means for You: You should view our recommendations as starting points for your own research, not as purely objective evaluations. Factors beyond commission rates—like quality, safety, and customer experience—do influence our reviews, but financial relationships are also a factor.

Why We're Telling You This

The FTC requires disclosure of material connections with companies we recommend. Beyond legal requirements, we believe you have a right to understand the business relationships that may influence what you see on this site.

We're not pretending to be neutral. We're a commercial website with financial incentives. We're showing you how this works so you can make informed decisions about how much weight to give our recommendations.

Types of Affiliate Relationships

Direct Affiliate Programs

We partner directly with some telehealth providers and medication services. They give us unique tracking links, and we earn a commission when you sign up.

Examples: Telehealth platforms offering GLP-1 prescriptions, online pharmacies, metabolic health programs.

Affiliate Networks

Some providers work through affiliate networks (like CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, Impact). We join these networks to access multiple affiliate programs through one platform.

The network tracks referrals and handles payments, but the commission still comes from the provider you sign up with.

Non-Affiliate Links

Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. When we link to:

...these are standard links with no financial benefit to us.

FTC Compliance

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that we disclose material connections with companies we recommend. That's what this entire page is about.

We comply with FTC guidelines by:

Our standard disclosure language:

Revenue Sources & Payment Structures

We earn money through multiple channels:

Affiliate Commissions

Paid Content & Sponsorships

Important: While we aim to balance commercial interests with quality recommendations, our financial relationships do influence what content we create and how providers are ranked. We're disclosing this so you can factor it into your evaluation of our site.

What You Should Know

You're Not Obligated to Use Our Links

You can:

We'd prefer you use our links if you find our research valuable (it's how we stay operational), but you're under no obligation.

Affiliate Relationships Don't Equal Endorsements

Featuring a provider on our site doesn't mean we endorse everything they do. We review providers critically, noting both strengths and weaknesses.

An affiliate link means "we think this provider is worth considering for the right person," not "this provider is perfect for everyone."

Your Questions Answered

"Does this mean your reviews are biased?"

Yes, there is inherent bias. We earn money from the providers we review and may be owned by companies with their own business interests. Our rankings may favor providers who pay higher commissions or have relationships with our parent company.

We're motivated to maintain credibility because:

  1. Our reputation matters for long-term business sustainability
  2. Readers who trust us come back and refer others
  3. Grossly misleading content damages our brand and revenue over time

However, you should not assume our recommendations are purely objective. We're transparent about our business model so you can factor these conflicts of interest into how you evaluate our content.

"Are your 'Best Of' rankings pay-to-play?"

Our rankings consider multiple factors including quality, pricing, customer experience, and yes—our financial relationships. Providers with higher commissions, sponsorship agreements, or corporate ownership connections may receive more favorable positioning.

We don't publish a strict formula for how we weight these factors because it varies. What we can say: financial considerations are part of our ranking methodology, and we're disclosing that here.

"Why should I trust you?"

You shouldn't trust us blindly. You should:

We aim to be a trustworthy starting point for research, not the ending point.

The Bottom Line

This is a commercial website with multiple revenue streams: We earn affiliate commissions when you use our links. We may receive payment for creating content about specific providers. We may be owned by or affiliated with companies that have their own business relationships in the healthcare space.

Our rankings and recommendations may be influenced by: commission rates, corporate ownership, sponsored content agreements, and marketing partnerships. We're not a neutral third party—we have financial incentives that may affect what you see on this site.

Why we're telling you this: Transparency allows you to make informed decisions about how much weight to give our recommendations. Use our research as a starting point, verify important claims with your doctor and other sources, and understand that financial considerations are part of our business model.

If you find our research valuable and choose to use a provider we've reviewed, using our link supports the site at no extra cost to you. If you prefer to research independently, that's completely fine—we believe informed readers make the best decisions, regardless of where they get their information.

Transparency is the foundation of trust. We're showing you exactly how this site works—including our conflicts of interest—because we believe you have a right to know who you're getting information from and what their incentives are.
