Affiliate Disclosure | GLP-1 News Today

We believe in transparency. This page explains how we make money and how that might influence what you see on this site.

The Short Version

We earn commissions when you click certain links and sign up for services or make purchases. This doesn't cost you anything extra, and it helps us keep this site running. We only recommend services we've researched and believe may be helpful, but you should know we have a financial incentive when you click through.

⚠️ Important Ownership & Payment Disclosure

This website may be owned by or have ownership interests in one or more of the companies we review and rank. Additionally, we may receive direct payments from companies for creating content, reviews, or rankings featuring their services.

This creates significant conflicts of interest that may influence:

Rankings and ratings: Companies we own or that pay us for content may receive higher rankings than they would otherwise deserve
Review content: We may emphasize positive aspects and downplay negative aspects of companies we have ownership in or that compensate us
Which companies we cover: We may prioritize reviewing companies that offer affiliate commissions, ownership opportunities, or content payments
Editorial independence: Our financial relationships may consciously or unconsciously bias our editorial decisions

You should assume that our rankings, reviews, and recommendations are influenced by our financial interests. We disclose this upfront so you can weigh our opinions accordingly and conduct your own independent research.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a business arrangement where we earn a commission if you take a specific action—like signing up for a telehealth service or purchasing a product—after clicking a link on our site.

Here's how it works:

You click a link on our site to a partner (like a telehealth provider or pharmacy)
A tracking cookie is placed on your device to record that you came from our site
If you complete an action (sign up, make a purchase, etc.), we receive a commission
You pay the same price you would have paid anyway—there's no extra cost to you

Who We Partner With

We participate in affiliate programs with:

Telehealth platforms that prescribe GLP-1 medications (e.g., Ro, Hims & Hers, Sesame, Henry Meds)
Online pharmacies that fill GLP-1 prescriptions
Supplement and wellness brands related to weight management and metabolic health
Affiliate networks that connect us with multiple partners (e.g., CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, Impact)

Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. We also link to research studies, medical organizations, and other informational resources where we earn nothing.

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our Editorial Standards

We research every service we review or recommend. This includes:

Reading user reviews and testimonials
Evaluating pricing, transparency, and customer support
Checking licensing and regulatory compliance
Testing services ourselves when possible

We aim to provide balanced reviews that include both pros and cons. If a service has limitations, we'll tell you—even if it means fewer conversions.

Affiliate Relationships Don't Dictate Content

Here's what we do NOT do:

Recommend products or services solely because they offer high commissions
Hide negative information to protect affiliate income
Write positive reviews in exchange for payment beyond standard affiliate commissions
Promote services we haven't researched or wouldn't consider using ourselves

That said, we're not perfect. Our perspective may be influenced by the fact that we earn income from certain recommendations. We're transparent about that so you can decide how much weight to give our opinions.

Disclosure Requirements (FTC Compliance)

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires us to disclose affiliate relationships clearly and conspicuously. Here's how we comply:

Site-Wide Disclosure

This page serves as our primary affiliate disclosure and is linked in the footer of every page.

In-Content Disclosures

We include clear disclosures on pages that contain affiliate links, such as:

"We may earn a commission if you click this link and sign up, at no extra cost to you."
"Affiliate links are marked with an asterisk (*)."
"This page contains affiliate links. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details."

Honest Opinions

Our reviews and opinions are our own, even when we earn commissions. If we say a service is great, it's because we believe it is—not because they're paying us to say so.

What This Means for You

You're Not Obligated to Click

You can read our content and do your own research without clicking our affiliate links. We hope our information is valuable regardless of whether you use our referral links.

Prices Are the Same

Affiliate commissions don't increase the price you pay. Partners compensate us from their marketing budgets, not from your wallet.

We May Earn Even If You Don't Buy Immediately

Affiliate cookies typically last 30–90 days (depending on the partner). If you click our link but don't sign up right away, we may still earn a commission if you return and complete the action within the cookie window.

We Don't Receive Your Personal Information

When you click an affiliate link and sign up for a service, we're notified that a conversion occurred, but we don't receive your name, email, health information, or payment details. Your privacy is protected.

Conflicts of Interest

We're committed to being upfront about potential conflicts. These are significant and should influence how much weight you give our recommendations:

We may own or have ownership interests in companies we review. This website may be owned by, operated by, or have financial ownership stakes in one or more of the telehealth platforms, pharmacies, or other companies we review and rank. When we own or have ownership in a company, we have a direct financial interest in promoting that company over competitors, which creates an obvious and significant conflict of interest. Our rankings may favor companies we have ownership interests in.
We may receive direct payments for content creation. Beyond affiliate commissions, companies may pay us directly to create reviews, articles, rankings, or other content featuring their services. When we receive payment to create content about a specific company, that content should be viewed as sponsored or paid content, even if not explicitly labeled as such. These payments may influence the tone, ranking position, and prominence we give to paying companies.
Commission rates vary significantly and influence rankings. Different companies pay vastly different commission rates—some may pay $50 per customer while others pay $500+ per customer. Higher-paying affiliates may receive better rankings, more prominent placement, and more favorable reviews than lower-paying or non-paying alternatives. Our rankings may be influenced as much or more by commission rates as by actual service quality.
We may have relationships with competitors. If we review multiple telehealth platforms, we may be affiliates of all of them, own equity in some of them, and receive direct payments from others. We aim to provide fair comparisons, but you should know we benefit financially regardless of which one you choose, and we benefit more from some than others.
We're not neutral or independent. This is a commercial affiliate and potentially ownership-driven website. Our business model depends on referrals, direct payments, and returns on ownership stakes. We don't pretend to be an unbiased third party or independent review site. We are financially invested in the companies we recommend.
Editorial decisions may be financially motivated. Decisions about which companies to review, how to rank them, what information to emphasize, and what to omit may be influenced by our affiliate commissions, ownership interests, and direct payment arrangements. While we strive for accuracy and helpfulness, our financial incentives are real and powerful.

Bottom line: Treat our content as coming from someone with significant financial interests in the companies being recommended, not from an independent third party. We provide this information to help you make decisions, but you should verify everything independently and consult healthcare professionals before making health-related decisions.

Questions We Anticipate

"Which companies do you own or have ownership in?"

We don't publicly disclose specific ownership stakes or equity arrangements, as these may change over time and involve confidential business relationships. You should assume that any highly-ranked company on our site may be one we have an ownership interest in. If a specific company consistently receives top rankings and prominent coverage, that's a strong indicator of a potential ownership or significant payment relationship.

"Do companies pay you to rank them #1?"

Our rankings may be influenced by a combination of factors including affiliate commission rates, direct content payments, ownership interests, and our evaluation of service quality. We cannot claim that rankings are based purely on merit. Financial considerations—including how much we earn from each company—play a role in ranking decisions.

"Can I trust your recommendations?"

You should approach our recommendations with healthy skepticism. We research carefully and aim for honesty, but our financial incentives—including ownership stakes, direct payments, and affiliate commissions—are real and substantial. Use our content as one data point in your decision-making, not the only one. Always verify independently and consult healthcare professionals.

"Do you only recommend partners that pay you?"

No. We link to research studies, FDA resources, medical organizations, and other informational sites where we earn nothing. However, when it comes to telehealth platforms, pharmacies, and commercial services, we prioritize reviewing companies that offer affiliate programs, ownership opportunities, or direct payment arrangements. Non-paying companies are less likely to receive coverage.

"What if I find a better deal elsewhere?"

Great! We want you to make the best decision for your situation. If you find a better option, take it. Our goal is to be helpful, not to lock you into suboptimal choices.

"How do I know which links are affiliate links?"

We mark affiliate links with clear disclosures, often using an asterisk (*) or a statement like "affiliate link." When in doubt, assume that links to telehealth providers, pharmacies, and related services are affiliate links.

Final Thoughts

This is a commercial website with significant financial interests in the companies we review and recommend. We may own or have ownership stakes in companies we rank, we may receive direct payments to create content, and we earn affiliate commissions from referrals.

These financial relationships create obvious conflicts of interest that may influence our rankings, reviews, and editorial decisions. We disclose this information prominently because we believe you deserve to know our incentives before relying on our recommendations.

We strive to provide accurate, helpful information and to recommend services that we genuinely believe offer value. However, our financial incentives are real and powerful. You should:

Verify all information independently
Read reviews from multiple sources
Consult licensed healthcare providers before making medical decisions
Consider that our top-ranked companies may be ones we have the strongest financial relationships with
Use our content as one data point among many, not as your sole source of information
