Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: July 2026. We believe in being open about how this site is funded, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) endorsement guidelines (16 CFR Part 255).

The short version: Some links on Obesity-Network.com are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. Commissions help fund our research and content, and they never change the price you pay or the products we recommend.

What are affiliate links?

An affiliate link is a special tracking link. When you click it and then make a purchase or sign up for a service, the company pays us a small referral commission. It is a common way that independent information sites keep the lights on without charging readers.

Where we use them

We use affiliate links primarily in our product sections, including:

Affiliate links are labelled with an advertising disclosure on the pages where they appear, and outbound affiliate links use appropriate rel="sponsored nofollow" tags.

Our editorial independence

Earning a commission never buys a better review or ranking. We select and rank products based on genuine merit for our audience — higher-weight and plus-size readers — using publicly available specifications, expert testing published by reputable outlets, and manufacturer information. If we would not recommend a product to a friend, it does not get a recommendation here, regardless of commission.

We also decline partnerships that we consider unsafe or non-compliant. For example, we do not promote weight-loss providers with unresolved regulatory actions.

Amazon & other networks

Where applicable, Obesity-Network.com participates in various affiliate advertising programs and networks. As an Amazon Associate (where enrolled) we may earn from qualifying purchases. We may also work with networks such as Impact, ShareASale, AvantLink, CJ and direct brand programs.

Prices and availability

Prices, offers and product availability mentioned on this site are for general guidance and can change at any time. Always confirm the current price and terms on the retailer’s or provider’s own website before purchasing.

Not medical or financial advice

Our product content — including anything about weight-loss medications — is for general education only and is not medical advice. Please read our Medical Disclaimer and always consult a licensed clinician before starting any medication, treatment or program.
