Wellness Radar is an independent health publication. Every claim is cited. Every protocol is tiered. Every grey area is named. Where we work with partners — sponsors, affiliate relationships, brand collaborations — the relationship is transparent and disclosed at the article level. The standards below are how we keep the credibility that makes both readers and partners trust us.
1. Editorial judgment stays with the editor. What we cover, how we cover it, and what we recommend is set by editorial — not by a partner. Sponsored content is built collaboratively, reviewed for accuracy, and clearly labeled as sponsored.
2. Every commercial relationship is disclosed. Sponsorships, affiliate links, brand collaborations, and product seeding are flagged at the top of the article they appear in, so readers always know what's editorial and what's partnership.
3. We only partner with products we'd cover anyway. If a brand or product doesn't meet our editorial bar — citations, mechanism story, real evidence — we don't take the partnership. That's why our partnerships are worth more than a generic display ad.
Five rules that govern every long read, drug profile, hub page, and tool. They are not aspirational — they are the gate before publish.
Citations are tagged in-text like [Author Year] and resolved at the bottom of the article. We cite primary sources — peer-reviewed trials, FDA labels, manufacturer pipeline disclosures — rather than secondary aggregators. Where the citation is preliminary (Phase 2, preprint, observational), the text says so.
No "studies show" without naming the study. No effect estimates without sample size. No relative-risk theater without absolute numbers.
Conservative, standard, aggressive — with the trade-offs of each explicitly named. Readers occupy different positions on the risk curve, and the same advice does not serve all of them. Tier columns appear at the end of every long read with a protocol recommendation.
Regulatory ambiguity, off-label use, missing human trials, mechanism speculation, unresolved safety signals — we name them in the body of the article, not at the bottom in fine print.
If we say something is "well-established", we mean it. If we say it's "promising", we mean Phase 2. If we say it's "speculative", we mean mechanism without human RCTs.
Editorial direction — what we cover, how we cover it, and what we recommend — is set independently. Sponsorships, affiliate links, and brand collaborations are clearly disclosed at the article level, so readers always know what's editorial and what's partnership. We don't run "medically reviewed" badge theater; named authors, named methodology, and disclosed COIs do the same job better.
Every article carries a "last reviewed against evidence" date. When a major trial reads out — STEP, SURMOUNT, SELECT, FLOW, TRIUMPH — the relevant pages move with it. We timestamp the change and link the new study. The web is fluid; the trial record is not.
Honest publications disclose their incentives. We earn revenue from four transparent channels — every one of them surfaced clearly to the reader.
Our flagship publication — peptides, supplements, biohacking. Sold direct from wellnessradar.ca.
Deeper weekly coverage, full PDF archive, member ask-the-author threads, early access to drug profiles.
Brands we work with directly — disclosed at the article level. We only partner with products that meet our editorial bar.
Recommended books, hardware (scales, CGMs, light panels), and select third-party products. Flagged at the top of any article that includes a link.
Brand collaborations, sponsorships, podcast partnerships, and affiliate inquiries: partnerships@wellnessradar.ca. We work with brands whose products we'd cover on editorial merit anyway — that's what makes the partnership worth more than display advertising.
The standards below are why readers trust us — and why partners who care about real credibility want to work with a publication that has them in writing.
