Affiliate Disclosure

Full transparency about how this site is funded and how affiliate relationships work.

Last Updated: January 2024

Summary: This website contains affiliate links. If you click a link and purchase a product, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our editorial content or Dr. Kumar's research positions.

Who We Are

This website — DrKumarEndocrinologist.com (or the domain you are currently visiting) — is an educational health resource presenting research and commentary by Dr. Kumar, a board-certified endocrinologist specializing in type 2 diabetes, pancreatic beta cell science, and natural blood sugar regulation. The site is operated by an independent publishing team authorized to present Dr. Kumar's research to the public.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that allows a merchant to know that a visitor arrived via our website. When you click an affiliate link on this site and subsequently make a purchase, we receive a small commission from the merchant. This commission comes from the merchant's own revenue — it does not add any cost to your purchase. You pay the same price whether you arrive at a product through our link or by navigating directly to the merchant's website.

Our Affiliate Relationships

This site participates in affiliate programs offered through ClickBank and potentially other third-party affiliate networks. Specifically, this site may earn commissions from the sale of nutritional supplement products related to blood sugar support, diabetes management, and metabolic health that are consistent with the research topics discussed on this site.

We are compliant with the ClickBank affiliate program terms and conditions and all applicable FTC guidelines governing affiliate disclosure.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on the endorsement and disclosure of material connections (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that this site has material connections to the products it links to and recommends. Specifically: we may earn a financial commission when readers purchase products through links on this website.

This disclosure applies to all pages on this website. Where affiliate links are present — including in the main content, sidebar areas, call-to-action buttons, and footer links — a financial relationship exists between this site and the linked merchant.

Does This Affect Our Editorial Independence?

No. Dr. Kumar's research positions, educational content, and scientific commentary are based entirely on his own professional judgment, clinical experience, and review of the scientific literature. Affiliate relationships do not influence which topics are covered, which claims are made, or which recommendations are offered. Dr. Kumar formulated his protocol based on his own research — the affiliate relationship reflects the publication of that research, not its direction.

We only link to products that are directly consistent with the research discussed on this site. We do not receive payment to feature specific products in our content beyond the standard affiliate commission structure.

Product Claims & Health Disclaimers

Nutritional supplement products linked from this website have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The educational content on this site describes the scientific research behind specific ingredients — it does not constitute a medical claim about any specific commercial product.

Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement regimen, particularly if you have a diagnosed medical condition, are taking prescription medications, or are pregnant or nursing.

Third-Party Websites

When you click an affiliate link on this site, you will be directed to a third-party website. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of those external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy and terms of service of any third-party site you visit. Our affiliate disclosure applies to the initial click from our website; the third-party merchant's own policies govern your subsequent purchase experience.
