Affiliate disclosure
Revenue transparency
We believe you have a right to know when a website might earn money from a link you click. Here is our complete disclosure.
The short version
Some links on Modern Weight Science may be affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you click them and make a purchase or sign up for a service. This never costs you anything extra. We always disclose affiliate links clearly. Affiliate relationships never influence what we write or recommend.
FTC compliance
In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), Modern Weight Science discloses that some links on this website may be affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, Modern Weight Science may receive a commission from the merchant — at no additional cost to you.
This disclosure applies to links to telehealth platforms, online pharmacies, health services, and any other commercial entity with whom we have an active affiliate or referral relationship.
How affiliate links are disclosed on the site
Wherever an affiliate link appears on Modern Weight Science, it will be accompanied by clear disclosure language near the link — for example:
- "Affiliate link — we may earn a commission"
- "We have an affiliate relationship with this provider"
- "This is a sponsored link"
You will never need to guess whether a link is commercial. We disclose every affiliate relationship, every time, in a visible location.
Editorial independence
Affiliate relationships do not determine what we write, what we recommend, or how we evaluate any product or service. Our editorial standards — described in full in our Editorial Policy — are applied identically to content that earns us revenue and content that doesn't.
We do not create articles for the primary purpose of driving affiliate traffic. We do not accept payment to feature, mention, or rank any service. We do not write positive reviews in exchange for commission arrangements. If we link to a service, it is because it is relevant to the educational content of the article — and we would link to it whether or not an affiliate relationship existed.
If the best option for our readers is a service with no affiliate relationship, that is the service we will recommend.
What we will never do
- Accept payment to write a positive article about any product
- Rank or feature a service higher than it deserves because it pays a higher commission
- Omit negative information about a product because of an affiliate relationship
- Accept sponsored content presented as editorial content without clear labelling
- Allow commercial partners to review or influence article content before publication
