Hey there, wellness friend! Welcome to NineCalories, your go-to spot for nutrition, fitness, and healthy living tips. Our mission is simple: Eat Well, Live Healthy, & Stay Fit. To keep bringing you free, high-quality content, we sometimes use affiliate links on our website, ninecalories.com. This Affiliate Disclosure explains what that means, why we do it, and how it works—all in plain English, like we’re chatting over a smoothie.

What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special links to products or services we recommend. If you click one and make a purchase, we might earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. It’s like a thank-you from the seller for sending you their way.
Example: Let’s say we share a link to a blender we love for making protein shakes. If you buy it through our link, the company might give us a few bucks. You pay the same price, but we get a little support to keep sharing recipes!
Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?
Running a website takes time and resources—think recipe testing, fitness research, and keeping our site speedy. Affiliate links help us cover those costs so we can keep our content free for everyone. They’re a win-win: you get great product recommendations, and we get to keep doing what we love.
- Support our mission: Commissions help us create more nutrition tips, workout plans, and wellness advice.
- No cost to you: You pay the same price whether you use our link or not.
- Quality focus: We only link to stuff we believe fits our Eat Well, Live Healthy vibe.
Our Promise to You
We’re not here to push random products. Our community trusts us, and we take that seriously. Here’s how we keep things honest:
- Transparency: We’ll always let you know when a link is an affiliate one, per FTC rules.
- Relevance: We only recommend products or services we’d use ourselves, like kitchen tools or fitness gear that match our wellness goals.
- Integrity: Our advice isn’t swayed by commissions. If we suggest something, it’s because we think it’s awesome for you.
Example: Sarah asked us for a yoga mat recommendation. We linked to one we’ve tested and love—not just because it’s an affiliate link, but because it’s perfect for her morning stretches.
How Affiliate Programs Work
We partner with trusted affiliate programs or companies whose products align with our mission. When you click an affiliate link and buy something, the seller tracks that you came from us and sends us a small percentage of the sale. This doesn’t change your price or experience—it just helps us keep the lights on.
Some of the programs we might work with include:
- Amazon Associates
- Fitness or kitchen brands
- Other wellness-focused companies
Each program has its own rules, but we always follow FTC guidelines to keep things clear.
Your Choice Matters
You’re in control! Clicking an affiliate link doesn’t mean you have to buy anything. If you’d rather not use our links, just visit the seller’s site directly—no pressure. We’re just happy to point you toward tools that can help you live healthier.
If you have questions about a product we recommend, drop us a line. We love helping you find the perfect fit!
