How we're funded

Luna Metabolic is a reader-supported publication that reviews GLP-1 care through a women's-health lens. Keeping it free and honest costs money, and this is the part where we tell you plainly where that money comes from. The short and important truth is that some of the links we use to send you to a provider are affiliate links. If you click through one and sign up, we may earn a commission — and it never costs you a cent more than going there directly. To keep things simple, please assume that any provider we list may compensate us this way. Those commissions pay for our research, the ongoing work of re-checking provider pricing, and keeping the site open to everyone.

In one line: we earn a commission when you start treatment through some links on this site, at no extra cost to you. CoreAge Rx is a featured partner, and providers we work with may appear first.

What a commission does not change

A commission never changes a provider's Luna Fit Score, and it never changes the price you pay. Ranked programs are graded on the same weighted factors under one published rubric — you can read exactly how in our methodology — and the number printed beside a provider is the unmodified one, whether it pays us or not.

What it does change: list order

Commercial relationships do affect the order providers appear in. Partners get a ranking boost, so a partner can sit above a provider with a higher score, and partners may be placed first. On some boards we place our featured partner, CoreAge Rx, first regardless of score. The order of our lists is commercial; the score printed beside each provider is not.

The boost itself is small, and the scores it moves against are close together: the ranking runs 88 providers across a 93–55 range, with 9 of them sitting on exactly 83. So outside a featured placement, what the boost mostly does is reorder providers a reader would find hard to separate on the numbers anyway. If you want to compare on score alone, every list and every review prints each provider's score. Commercial emphasis can also affect how often we write about a provider, and whether it appears in a spotlight or a sidebar; wherever that happens, we disclose it.

What our reviews say

A partner deal does not buy a softer review. Each review reports the company's own prices, the catches in its terms and any FDA warning letter it holds, whether or not that company pays us. If you think we got something wrong about a provider, tell us and we will check it.

The kinds of relationships we have

Our relationships with providers run through standard affiliate programs, sometimes directly and sometimes through affiliate networks that manage the tracking and payouts. That is the extent of it. We are not a medical provider, a pharmacy, or a telehealth company, and we are not owned by, or speaking for, any provider or drug manufacturer. We keep adding providers, starting with the ones women ask us about most.

A reminder about your health

Choosing a GLP-1 provider is a personal medical decision, and our rankings are a research starting point rather than advice for your body. Please read them alongside our medical disclaimer and talk with a licensed clinician before starting anything.

Two neighbors of this page answer the questions it usually raises next. What we record when you click one of these links, and what we do not, is in our privacy notice; the conditions you read and rely on the site under are in our terms of use. If what you actually want is who is behind the reviews, that is on our about page.
