TRANSPARENCY IS IMPORTANT TO US
This page explains how My Healing Shift may earn income through affiliate partnerships and how this affects you as a reader. We believe in being completely transparent with our audience.
1. WHAT ARE AFFILIATE LINKS?
An affiliate link is a special tracking link that allows us to earn a commission if you make a purchase after clicking it.
Here’s how it works:
- You click an affiliate link on our website.
- You are redirected to the merchant’s website (like Amazon, iHerb, or a specific brand).
- If you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.
- You pay the SAME PRICE whether you use our link or not.
2. OUR AFFILIATE PARTNERSHIPS
We participate in the following affiliate programs to support the maintenance of this website:
2.1 Amazon Associates Program
My Healing Shift is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- When you click on Amazon product links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.
- This applies to Amazon.com and other Amazon sites globally.
- Prices remain the same for you.
2.2 iHerb Affiliate Program
We participate in the iHerb Affiliate Program:
- We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through our iHerb links.
- You may often receive a discount code applied automatically when using our referral links.
- Prices are set by iHerb, not by us.
2.3 Other Affiliate Programs
We may partner with additional affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- Essential oil companies (e.g., Vibrant Blue Oils, Plant Therapy).
- Supplement companies.
- Health and wellness brands.
- Online retailers relevant to healing and lifestyle.
Each partnership is chosen based on:
- Product quality and relevance to our readers’ healing journeys (specifically regarding histamine intolerance and MCAS).
- Company reputation and trustworthiness.
- Potential value to our community.
3. HOW WE CHOOSE PRODUCTS TO RECOMMEND
3.1 Our Selection Process
We only recommend products that:
- We believe may be helpful for your healing shift.
- Are relevant to our content and audience.
- Come from reputable brands and sellers.
- Have positive reviews or scientific backing (when applicable).
3.2 What Influences Our Recommendations
Our product recommendations are based on:
- ✓ Research and available evidence.
- ✓ User reviews and feedback.
- ✓ Product ingredients and quality.
- ✓ Relevance to specific health needs.
- ✓ Price and value.
Our recommendations are NOT solely based on:
- ✗ Commission rates.
- ✗ Affiliate partnership opportunities.
- ✗ Marketing materials provided by companies.
3.3 Editorial Independence
We maintain editorial independence. Affiliate commissions do not determine what we write about. We provide honest opinions, disclosing both the benefits and limitations of products. We will update recommendations if better options become available.
4. YOUR COSTS
4.1 No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links does NOT cost you anything extra.
- Prices are the same whether you use our link or go directly to the merchant’s website.
- In some cases, using our link might actually activate a discount code for you.
- We never receive any of the money you pay directly; the transaction is between you and the merchant.
4.2 How We Earn
We earn a small percentage commission from the merchant (not you).
- Typical commission rates range from 1% to 10% of the sale price.
- We only earn if you make a purchase (clicking alone usually doesn’t earn us money).
5. IDENTIFYING AFFILIATE LINKS
5.1 How to Recognize Affiliate Links
We strive to make affiliate links clear and transparent:
- Product links within blog posts may be affiliate links.
- Links to Amazon, iHerb, and partner sites are typically affiliate links.
- We use disclosure statements at the top of posts, such as: “This post contains affiliate links.”
5.2 Not All Links Are Affiliate Links
Please note:
- Links to scientific studies (PubMed, etc.) are NOT affiliate links.
- Links to general educational resources are usually not affiliate links.
- Internal links to other posts on My Healing Shift are not affiliate links.
6. FTC COMPLIANCE
We comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding endorsements and affiliate links.
