Affiliate Disclosure

Effective Date: [May 15, 2026] Last Updated: May 16, 2026

At Dr Bernard Health and Life, transparency with our readers is one of our highest priorities. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we may earn income from this blog and the relationships we may have with third-party companies, brands, and products.

By using this blog, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclosure.


1.The Short Version

In plain English: Some of the links on this blog are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. This helps support the blog and allows us to continue creating free, evidence-based content. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe may be helpful, and our editorial opinions are never for sale.


2. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special tracking link that allows a company to identify when a customer was referred from our blog. If you click an affiliate link on Dr Bernard Health and Life and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from that sale.

Important to know:

  • You pay the same price as you would going to the website directly.
  • There is no extra cost to you for using our links.
  • You are never obligated to use our affiliate links — they are simply a way to support the blog if you find our content helpful.


3. Affiliate Programs We Participate In

Dr Bernard Health and Life may participate in the following affiliate programs (or similar programs as our content grows):

  • Amazon Associates — Dr Bernard Health and Life is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
  • ShareASale
  • Impact
  • Rakuten Advertising
  • Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate)
  • Individual brand or company partnerships (where applicable)

A list of specific brands or products will not always be exhaustive, as our affiliate relationships may change over time.


4. Our Promise to You

We take our reader relationships seriously. Affiliate income will never compromise the integrity of our content. Here’s what we commit to:

  • We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe may be helpful to our readers — based on quality, evidence (where applicable), reputation, or personal experience.
  • We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a commission.
  • Our editorial opinions are not for sale. We do not allow brands, sponsors, or affiliate partners to influence what we say or how we say it.
  • If we wouldn’t recommend it to a friend or family member, we won’t recommend it to you.
  • We may decline affiliate partnerships with any brand whose products, claims, or practices conflict with our values, ethics, or editorial standards.



5. How We Choose What to Recommend

When evaluating a product, supplement, service, or resource, we consider:

  • Evidence and quality — Is there reasonable evidence to support its use or value?
  • Safety — Is it safe for general use? Are there meaningful risks readers should know about?
  • Reputation — Does the brand have a credible track record?
  • Value — Is it reasonably priced for what it offers?
  • Relevance — Does it genuinely fit the topic and our readers’ needs?

We will not recommend products that:

  • Make unsupported or misleading health claims
  • Promise unrealistic results (“cure,” “miracle,” “guaranteed weight loss,” etc.)
  • Are known to be unsafe or have a poor safety profile
  • Are sold by brands engaged in deceptive marketing
  • Conflict with FDA guidance or established clinical standards


6. Health, Supplement, and Wellness Products

Because Dr Bernard Health and Life is a health and wellness blog, we take extra care with affiliate links involving supplements, wellness products, fitness gear, food, skincare, and other health-related items.

Please understand:

  • A product appearing on this blog — even as an affiliate recommendation — is not a medical prescription or endorsement of treatment.
  • Statements about dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
  • Individual results may vary. What works for one person may not work for another.
  • Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, product, or health regimen — especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a chronic condition.

For more information, please review our full Medical Disclaimer.

 

 

7. Sponsored Content and Brand Partnerships

In addition to affiliate links, we may occasionally publish:

  • Sponsored posts — articles created in partnership with a brand
  • Paid product reviews
  • Brand collaborations
  • Display advertising (e.g., Google AdSense, Mediavine, or similar ad networks)

When any of the above applies, we will clearly label the content with terms such as:

  • “Sponsored”
  • “Paid Partnership”
  • “In Partnership With [Brand]”
  • “This post is sponsored by [Brand]”

Even in sponsored content, our honest opinions are required and will always be shared. We reserve the right to publish negative or critical feedback even on sponsored products if our experience or evaluation calls for it.

 

 
8. How Affiliate Income Supports the Blog

Running a blog takes time and resources — website hosting, email services, research tools, design, and many hours of writing and reviewing. Affiliate income helps:

  • Keep our content free and accessible to all readers
  • Cover the costs of running and maintaining the blog
  • Allow us to invest in better content — research, design, and resources
  • Compensate guest contributors and editors when applicable

Without reader support — through clicks, purchases, or simply sharing our content — this work would not be sustainable.

Thank you for being part of what makes this blog possible.

 

 
9. FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

In addition to this site-wide disclosure, individual articles containing affiliate links will include a clear, conspicuous disclosure near the top of the post — so you always know upfront when affiliate links are present.

Example of how affiliate content will be labeled in articles:

“This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting Dr Bernard Health and Life.”

 

 
10. Your Choices

You always have the choice to:

  • Use our affiliate links to support the blog (thank you 💚)
  • Search for the product directly without using our links
  • Skip the recommendation entirely if it doesn’t feel right for you

We want you to make decisions that are best for you, not for our commission rates.

 


11. International Readers

Affiliate programs and links are typically region-specific. If you are accessing this blog from outside the United States, some affiliate links may not work or may redirect you to a regional version of the retailer’s site. We do our best to offer broad recommendations, but we cannot guarantee availability or pricing in every country.

 

 
12. Questions or Concerns

If you have questions about a specific recommendation, our affiliate relationships, or this disclosure, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

13. Updates to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our affiliate partnerships, business practices, or applicable laws. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will indicate the most recent version. Continued use of the blog after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated disclosure.

A Final Note

We started Dr Bernard Health and Life to share honest, evidence-based health and wellness information — not to sell anything. Affiliate income is a small but meaningful way to keep this blog sustainable, and we deeply appreciate every reader who chooses to support it.

But our most important promise remains: your trust matters more than any commission.

Thank you for being here. 💚
