What an affiliate relationship actually is
An affiliate relationship is a standard commercial arrangement in which a website — in this case, The Inside Report — places a tracked link to a third-party company. When a reader clicks that link and completes a specified action on the destination website (for example, completing a sign-up or making a purchase), the website receives a commission from the destination company. The reader pays the same price they would have paid without clicking through an affiliate link. The commission is paid by the company, not by the reader.
Affiliate commissions are how a lot of independent health, finance, and consumer information sites are funded. The alternatives — direct advertising, paywalls, or corporate sponsorship — each have their own complications, and in our view affiliate commissions, when disclosed clearly and handled responsibly, produce less conflict of interest than the alternatives. The articles are written to help readers; the affiliate revenue is a byproduct of those articles being useful enough that readers act on them.
Which companies we have affiliate relationships with
At the time of this writing, The Inside Report maintains affiliate relationships with the following companies whose products are discussed in our content:
- Eden (telehealth wellness platform — NAD+, energy and longevity)
- Yucca Health (telehealth wellness and longevity platform)
- Fridays (telehealth wellness platform — NAD+, B12 and energy support)
- Nutrisystem (structured meal and nutrition program)
This list reflects our current relationships and may change over time. When our relationships change, this page will be updated. If we mention a company with which we do not have an affiliate relationship — for example, Walgreens Weight Management, LillyDirect, NovoCare, Ro, Hims & Hers, MEDVi, or GoodRx Care, as we do in our main article — we are mentioning them because we believe their inclusion serves the reader's interest, not because of a commercial arrangement.
How we decide what to include
The order in which providers appear in our articles is determined by what we found, not by commission rates. Some of the providers we discuss pay higher commissions than others. Some non-affiliate companies we mention pay us nothing at all. The factors that determine whether and how we cover a provider are these:
- Whether the provider is operating legally and with appropriate licensing. We do not include providers operating in legal gray areas or those that have been the subject of significant regulatory action.
- Whether the provider offers something readers would benefit from knowing about. Novel pricing models, genuinely differentiated service structures, or unusually strong patient review histories are examples.
- Whether we have verified information about the provider's offering. If we cannot verify pricing, policy, or operational details to our standards, we say so or we exclude the provider.
We do not remove negative observations to protect affiliate revenue. When we have concerns about a provider — shipping delay complaints, dosing discrepancies documented in consumer reviews, subscription enrollment complaints, or other operational issues — we state those concerns clearly, regardless of the affiliate relationship. We believe this is the only defensible way to produce content that serves readers.
What affiliate relationships do not do
- They do not determine what we include. We discuss providers that we believe are relevant to our readers, whether or not they offer affiliate terms.
- They do not determine the order in which providers appear. Our ordering reflects what we found, not commission rates.
- They do not soften our description of problems. Where a provider has documented operational issues, we describe those issues. The affiliate relationship does not override that.
- They do not produce guaranteed recommendations. We do not recommend any specific provider to any specific reader. Whether a given provider is appropriate for a given person is a medical question that requires clinical evaluation by a licensed provider — not a question we can answer in an article.
FTC compliance
The Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides require "clear and conspicuous" disclosure of material connections between endorsers and the products or services they promote. We interpret this requirement to mean:
- Disclosure is placed near the top of any article that contains affiliate links, visible without requiring the reader to scroll extensively.
- Affiliate links are marked with a standard
rel="sponsored"attribute in the underlying HTML. - This full disclosure page is linked from every article and from our site footer.
- We do not use vague language like "partner" or "collaborator" in place of the word "affiliate." We use the word "affiliate" because that is the accurate description.
What we are not
We want to be clear about what The Inside Report is and is not.
- We are not a medical provider. Nothing on our website is medical advice. We share information based on peer-reviewed science, FDA guidance, and publicly available product information. A reader considering any health product or treatment should discuss their specific circumstances with a licensed healthcare provider.
- We are not a telehealth platform. We do not prescribe medications. We do not have patients. We are a small independent site that writes about companies that do.
- We are not a regulator. We cannot certify the safety or quality of any product or service. We can describe publicly available information about a provider and what we found. That is not the same as endorsement or certification.
- We are not paid by the companies we write about to reach specific conclusions. Affiliate relationships are performance-based — we earn commissions only if readers choose to sign up — and are structurally distinct from sponsored content, which we do not publish.
How to verify anything we say
Every claim we make about a provider's pricing, state availability, cancellation policy, medical team, or similar fact can be verified at the provider's own website. Every clinical claim we make is sourced to a specific peer-reviewed publication, FDA document, or guideline from a medical society. Our source list appears at the end of each major article.
If you find a factual error in anything we publish — whether it concerns a price that has changed since our verification date, a provider's operational details, or a scientific claim — please email us at hello@inreportreview.com. We correct errors promptly and note substantive corrections publicly.
