Transparency Policy: Our Promise to You

At TrustHub, our commitment to providing safe, evidence-based weight loss information is paramount. This policy explains how we operate, how we generate revenue, and how we maintain complete editorial independence to ensure you can trust our advice implicitly.

1. Editorial Independence and Conflict of Interest (COI)

Our highest priority is maintaining the scientific integrity of our content, as outlined in the Our Methodology document.

  • No Paid Content: TrustHub does not accept payment, gifts, or services in exchange for positive reviews, articles, or endorsements within our core educational content (Ultimate Guides and Cluster Articles). Our editorial decisions are based solely on scientific merit and our three-point vetting checklist.
  • Expert Reviewers: Any external experts consulted for review purposes (though not publicly named) sign a strict non-disclosure and conflict of interest agreement.
  • Advertising Separation: Any advertisements displayed on the site are clearly separated from editorial content with clear “Advertisement” or “Sponsored” labels. Ad revenue does not influence the topics we cover or the conclusions we draw.

2. Our Monetization Model (How We Earn Revenue)

TrustHub is a free resource supported by two primary revenue streams that allow us to keep our core content open and unbiased:

A. Affiliate Links

Some product links within our content (e.g., links to a specific type of high-quality food scale, protein powder, or fitness tracker) are affiliate links.

  • How They Work: If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Our Policy: We will only ever recommend products or services that have passed our Scientific Vetting Checklist (Section 2, Methodology) and which we genuinely believe are safe, effective, and beneficial to your long-term health goals.
  • Disclosure: Any page containing affiliate links will include a clear, easy-to-read disclosure statement at the top (e.g., “This article contains affiliate links.”).

B. Digital Programs and Services

We offer premium, fee-based digital products developed internally by TrustHub.

  • Examples: Our 12-Week Transformation Program, digital meal planning guides, or personalized habit-coaching services.
  • Trust: These programs are developed using the exact same scientific rigor and safety standards applied to all free content on our site, ensuring a consistent and trustworthy user experience.

3. Product Recommendations and Reviews

Recommendations are an extension of our scientific vetting process, not a source of direct revenue from the product company.

  • Focus on Categories: We primarily recommend product categories (e.g., “whey isolate protein”) and will then suggest examples based on third-party testing for purity and value, prioritizing products with minimal artificial ingredients.
  • No Product Seeding: We do not accept free products or samples from companies in exchange for coverage. Products are selected based on publicly available data and independent analysis.

4. Updates and Legal Compliance

This Transparency Policy may be updated periodically. We encourage users to review this page regularly.

  • Date: This policy was last updated on October 23, 2025.
  • Privacy: For information regarding how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, please consult our separate Privacy Policy.

We thank you for placing your trust in TrustHub.
