What I promote & why

I make recommendations frequently. Often, I don't make a dime from my recommendations. But sometimes, I do. When I do, it means I'm an “affiliate” of that product, website, service, item, informational summit, service, bundle or program. (Here's how I disclose affiliate relationships in written blog posts.)

If you're reading this page, it's because I've recommended something that will earn me a commission if you buy immediately OR become a customer in the future. I want you to know how I choose what I promote and why.

I love, support, and stand behind everything I choose to promote. Everything I support has been carefully selected and reviewed. Often, I've directly participated in its creation.

Before I promote something, I make sure:

• It's collecting and providing information, products or services above and beyond the free content available on the internet.
• It addresses a need or desire of my audience.
• It's of high quality and easily accessible.
• I agree with the philosophy it espouses.
• I believe in the integrity and the intentions of its creators.

I NEVER promote something “just for the money.” In fact, I turn down opportunities frequently because I don't believe they fulfill all of the above criteria.

I receive the occasional complaint when I promote paid content. While I understand that we've all been spoiled by the information superFREEway, the fact is that we often get what we pay for. Quality content demands a fair price.

That price can be paid in a number of ways.

I choose to maximize my FREE content while offering a balance of opportunities to purchase quality products. The commissions I earn from paid products pays for the highest quality free content possible. It also pays for hosting, site security, the food with which I create recipes, and perhaps the occasional bottle of wine.

When it comes to my free content – my blog, my podcasts, my video channel, my newsletter and the social media accounts I use to share it all with you, I do what I do because I love it. I love talking about it, bringing new information to light, and connecting with you.

But let's be honest: love don't pay the bills.

(That said, being disingenuous, dishonest, or unethical doesn't feed the soul. That's why I have strict requirements about what I'll promote and how I disclose it.)

So, in addition to the outside products or services I promote now and then, I've got a few products and services (to which I dedicate immense time and resources to ensure their quality) that you can buy directly from me: The Purely Primal Skincare Guide, and my best-selling book, Eat the Yolks. These further support my work and my ability to keep generating helpful, informative, FREE content.

You are under no obligation to buy anything, ever.

Most of us in the online health-and-wellness world give much of our heart, soul, AND our expertise for free. We do it because we want to, and because there's a high demand: we're approached with requests, questions and encouragement to keep going on a regular basis. We deeply hope our readers understand that a balance of paid and free content is necessary to keep it all up and running, and we pour our hearts into both.
