Editorial Policy

Last updated: April 9, 2026  ·  slimchecker.com

Every article, review, and guide published on SlimChecker.com follows the standards described on this page. This is not a legal document — it is a straightforward explanation of how we work, what we stand for, and how we hold ourselves to a consistent standard. Readers who want to understand where our information comes from and how it gets made will find everything they need here.


1. Our purpose

SlimChecker.com exists to give people clear, honest, and well-researched information about weight loss — including nutrition, fitness, supplements, and the growing landscape of GLP-1 telehealth programs. The health space is full of noise: exaggerated claims, poorly disclosed sponsorships, and content that serves advertisers more than readers. We built this site to be something different.

Every content decision we make starts with a single question: does this genuinely help a reader understand their options and make a better decision? If the answer is no, we do not publish it.


2. What we publish and what we do not

On SlimChecker.com you will find independent articles and guides on weight loss topics, honest reviews and comparisons of GLP-1 telehealth providers, transparent breakdowns of pricing and program structures, safety guidance around medications and supplements, and practical advice on diet, fitness, and lifestyle.

What you will not find here is miracle claims, guaranteed weight loss promises, or results that are exaggerated to get clicks. We do not recommend purchasing prescription medications without proper medical supervision. We do not promote unregulated or unlicensed sources. We do not accept paid placements or allow sponsorship arrangements to influence how content is written or how providers are ranked.


3. How we research and source content

Any health or clinical claim that appears on this site must be traceable back to a reliable primary source. We prioritize FDA prescribing information and official safety communications, peer-reviewed clinical research published in reputable journals, guidance from established health bodies such as the NIH and CDC, and publicly verifiable provider information.

We do not use social media posts, anonymous forums, podcasts, or other health websites as the basis for clinical claims. Where a claim cannot be supported by a credible primary source, it does not appear in our content. When evidence is limited or conflicting, we say so clearly rather than presenting one side as settled fact.


4. How we evaluate GLP-1 telehealth providers

When reviewing an online weight loss or GLP-1 telehealth program, we apply the same criteria to every provider so that comparisons are fair and consistent. The factors we look at include whether licensed healthcare professionals handle prescribing and ongoing patient care, whether medications are dispensed by properly registered and state-licensed pharmacies, how clearly the provider discloses total costs including membership fees, renewal terms, and cancellation policies, the quality of patient support for side effects and dose adjustments, and any patterns in user feedback across multiple platforms.

A provider that cannot clearly demonstrate licensed medical oversight or refuses to disclose pharmacy credentials will not appear in our top recommendations — regardless of their pricing, marketing, or affiliate commission rate. Providers that make misleading claims about compounded medications or hide material information from prospective patients are flagged and may be excluded entirely.


5. How our rankings work

Provider rankings on SlimChecker.com are built around safety and transparency first, followed by value and the quality of patient support. A provider moves higher in our rankings by demonstrating clear pharmacy credentials, rigorous medical screening processes, honest pricing disclosures, and genuine follow-up care for patients.

A provider moves lower — or gets removed — when pharmacy information is absent or unverifiable, when pricing is deliberately obscured, when marketing language overshadows clinical honesty, or when consistent complaints about billing, shipping, or cancellations emerge across multiple verified sources. No provider can buy a better ranking. Commission rates play no role in how providers are positioned.


6. Compounded medications

Some telehealth providers offer compounded versions of semaglutide or tirzepatide rather than FDA-approved branded medications. When we cover these options, we are straightforward about what that distinction means: compounded medications have not gone through FDA review for safety and efficacy, and their quality depends entirely on the standards and licensing of the pharmacy producing them.

We only discuss compounded options in the context of providers that use licensed U.S. pharmacies with verifiable credentials and require a proper clinical evaluation before prescribing. Providers that make unsafe or misleading claims about compounded GLP-1 products, or that fail to disclose the relevant differences from branded medications, are flagged clearly in our content.


7. Use of AI tools

We use AI tools as part of our writing and research workflow. Their role is assistive — they help with drafting, structuring, and identifying relevant background information. They do not make editorial decisions, determine clinical conclusions, or publish content on their own.

All AI-assisted content goes through human review before publication. Clinical claims are individually verified against primary sources regardless of how the draft was produced. We do not treat AI output as authoritative on medical topics, and any factual claim that cannot be confirmed by a human reviewer against a credible source is removed before the content goes live.


Some links on SlimChecker.com are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships are only established with providers that have already been independently evaluated — never the other way around.

These commercial relationships do not influence rankings, reviews, or any editorial content on this site. We do not accept paid placements or sponsored articles. Our commission structure does not vary based on which provider a reader chooses, which means we have no financial reason to favor one option over another in our recommendations.


9. How we keep content current

The weight loss and GLP-1 space moves quickly. Pricing changes, FDA guidance evolves, and telehealth programs update their offerings regularly. We review our content on an ongoing basis and update pages when provider information changes, when new clinical evidence becomes available, or when FDA safety communications affect how a topic should be discussed.

Every page on this site carries a visible last-updated date so readers always know how current the information is. We do not leave outdated content sitting without a review date — if a page has not been recently checked, we say so.


10. Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and transparently. Errors are not silently deleted — corrections are noted inline so that readers who saw the original version understand what changed. If you spot a factual mistake, an outdated claim, or anything that seems off, please reach out through our contact page with the page URL and a brief description of the issue. We read every report and respond when appropriate.


11. Contact the editorial team

Questions about how a piece of content was researched, concerns about accuracy, or feedback on our editorial standards are all welcome. We are accountable to our readers and take that seriously.
