The StudyBackedHealth team
We exist because health product marketing is loud, and the actual evidence is quiet. We read the studies so you don't have to.
Our mission
Help adults, especially those 50 and over, make GLP-1 and health product decisions with evidence, not advertising. Every ranking on this site is built from two inputs: published, peer-reviewed clinical research, and aggregated real patient reports from online communities and review platforms. Never from money: no company we cover pays us anything.
How we work
We publish as a team rather than as individuals. What we put our names behind is the method: a 31-point scoring rubric applied identically to every provider, no money accepted from any company we cover, and a public corrections log when we get something wrong.
We are an analysis operation, not a testing lab. We do not personally test prescription products, and we're skeptical of sites that claim to. Our value is in reading the actual trials, separating what the data shows from what the marketing says, and aggregating what real users report across Reddit, Trustpilot, and the BBB.
Our editorial scope: reporting, not guidance
We do not have a clinician on staff, so we draw a hard line and keep to it: we report what published trials, FDA labels, and aggregated patient experience show, with the primary source cited inline, and we do not publish medical guidance (dosing, symptom management, or safety instructions). Drafts that crossed that line stay unpublished under this policy. Guidance belongs to your own clinician; our job is making the evidence legible before you talk to them.
Funding
As of July 2026, the site is owner-funded and fully non-commercial: no ads, no affiliate links, no sponsorships, and no payment of any kind from any company we cover, a commitment we're holding for at least two years. The full picture is on our editorial independence page.
