Affiliate Disclosure

PureLongevityToday participates in affiliate programs. When you click a link to a third-party product or service on this site and complete a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This page explains how that works, why we do it, and how we keep editorial decisions independent of affiliate revenue.

What "affiliate" means

An affiliate relationship is a tracked commercial arrangement between us (the publisher) and a third-party brand (the advertiser). When a reader clicks a tracked link on our site and purchases a product, the affiliate platform pays us a small percentage of the sale. The reader pays the same price they would pay without the tracked link — the commission comes out of the advertiser's marketing budget, not the reader's pocket.

This is the same business model as nearly every editorial site that covers products: Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, The Strategist, and most longevity publishers (Levels, MarkSisson, Bryan Johnson's Blueprint editorial) all operate on affiliate revenue. Affiliate disclosure is a regulatory and ethical requirement under FTC Guidelines 16 CFR Part 255.

Active affiliate programs as of June 2026

  • Sun Home Saunas (Impact.com network) — commission on infrared sauna and cold plunge purchases
  • Amazon Associates — commission on qualifying Amazon purchases via tag purelongevity-20
  • Levels Health — commission on CGM membership signups (pending program activation)
  • AquaTru / Ideal Living — commission on home water filtration purchases (pending program activation)
  • Function Health — commission on Function Health membership signups (pending program activation)
  • Kohler (FlexOffers network) — commission on Kohler product purchases (pending program activation)

This list updates as programs activate. Each piece of content that contains affiliate links also carries an inline disclosure footer that names the affiliate relationships specific to that article.

How affiliate revenue does NOT influence our editorial

The faceless brand voice we publish under is structurally designed to prevent affiliate revenue from corrupting editorial. The specific protections:

  • We don't write affiliate-driven product recommendations. Our content starts with the published research literature on a topic. When a product fits the research-grade criteria we cover (NSF certifications, trial-validated dose, published mechanism), it gets included. If it doesn't, no amount of commission percentage changes the decision.
  • We disclose declined relationships, not just accepted ones. Several affiliate programs we've applied to have declined our applications (iHerb, Redwood Outdoors as of June 2026). We don't write content for declined programs we wish would approve us.
  • We name competitors of affiliated brands. Our published content discusses competitor products (Stelo competing with Levels, Clearly Filtered competing with AquaTru, Bare Performance Nutrition competing with affiliated supplement brands) where the comparison serves the reader.
  • We publish negative-leaning content on entire affiliate categories when the research supports it. Our multivitamin myth article argues against multivitamin supplementation despite the broad affiliate revenue potential in that category. Editorial honesty over revenue.

What you should know as a reader

  • Affiliate links cost you nothing extra — the commission comes from the advertiser's marketing budget.
  • You are not required to purchase through our links. The information in our articles stands independent of whether you buy through us, buy elsewhere, or don't buy at all.
  • If a piece of content contains an affiliate link, it is disclosed in the article's footer.
  • If you ever notice content that appears to recommend a product we've never used or evaluated, please contact us — we treat that as a serious editorial concern.

How affiliate revenue funds the publication

Affiliate revenue covers the research time, publishing infrastructure, and continued investment in the deep-dive content format. The alternative business models — ad placement (visually disruptive, sells reader attention to the highest bidder), sponsored content (corrupts editorial directly), paywall (locks the research-grade information behind a fee) — each have meaningfully worse tradeoffs for a research-grade longevity publication.

We chose the affiliate model specifically because it lets the published content stay freely accessible, lets us recommend products based on research quality rather than ad spend, and keeps the reader's payment to the advertiser (not to us) for products we recommend.

Medical disclaimer (separate from affiliate disclosure)

Nothing on PureLongevityToday constitutes medical advice. The protocols, supplement recommendations, and dietary frameworks we publish are research summaries — they require individual calibration with a qualified clinician before use, particularly for adults with established cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegenerative diagnosis, eating disorder history, or pharmacotherapy that affects relevant biomarkers. Always consult your physician before changing a supplement protocol, training program, or dietary pattern.
