Full bioWhat we have not been paid for
None of the three editorial board members has accepted payment, advertising, traffic, commercial consideration, equity, or in-kind benefit from any of the sixteen sites audited — or from any of the underlying GLP-1 telehealth providers those sites rank. The editorial board does not consult for, advise, or hold financial interest in any audited entity. Industry consulting and speaking history for each physician is documented in their individual bio.
The audit’s publication is funded by the editorial board. There is no advertising on this site. There are no affiliate links. There is no commercial relationship between WeighLossCompare and any GLP-1 telehealth provider. If this changes at any future date, the change will be disclosed prominently on every page on which it is relevant, and noted in the corrections log on the date of the change.
