What this site is, and who pays for it.
We cover the products, supplements, and protocols that real people are actually trying. Some of those articles are paid for by the brand in them, and we label those at the top of the page. Every claim on this site, paid or not, has to trace back to something published.
Who we are
HDR is a small editorial team focused on the kind of health products that get talked about in group chats, doctor's waiting rooms, and Facebook groups for people managing chronic things. We are not a news site. We are not a clinical journal. We write about them plainly, with citations where the science exists and an admission where it doesn't.
How we work
An article begins with the manufacturer's own published material: the label, the certifications, the testing, any study they have run, and their customer reviews. We read the research around the ingredient, and we read what people with the condition actually say about it, in their own words, in the places they say it. Then we write the honest version, including the parts a brand would rather leave out, such as how long something realistically takes and what it does not do.
We try not to assert things we cannot back up. We avoid the kind of categorical language that sounds confident in a video script and falls apart on a label. We assume our readers are adults who can read studies and decide for themselves.
How we make money
Two ways, and both of them affect what you see. Sponsored editorials: a brand pays us to write an article about their product, they see it before it runs, and they can ask for changes. Those carry a Sponsored label above the headline and a disclosure in the footer naming them. Affiliate commission: when you buy through some of our links we earn a small percentage at no extra cost to you. So yes, money decides what gets covered here. What it does not decide is what we are willing to state as fact. A sponsor cannot put a number, a certification, or a health outcome on this site that we cannot trace back to their own published label, their own testing, or a named study.
Where a commercial relationship exists we disclose it in the label above the headline, before you read a word of the article, and again in full in the footer. Read our full editorial standards.
