A recovery and sauna studio can earn recurring referral revenue by sharing one QR code with members who are already invested in wellness, with no clinical work, no inventory, and no medical advice on the studio's part.
If you run a sauna, cold plunge, contrast therapy, or recovery studio, your members already treat their health as a routine. Many of them are curious about telehealth options like GLP-1 medications, wellness injectables such as NAD+, MIC-B12, or glutathione, and provider-reviewed peptides. MedStands lets you introduce those options and get paid every month for the members who become active customers, while licensed providers and pharmacies handle everything clinical.
Why recovery studios are a natural fit
Your studio sells consistency. People come back weekly for contrast therapy, cold plunge, and heat because recovery is a habit, not a one-time purchase. That same habit is what makes referred customers stick, and staying active is exactly what the referral model rewards.
You also already have trust. A member who books your sauna on a schedule listens when you point them toward a legitimate, provider-reviewed way to explore weight-loss medication or wellness injectables. You are not diagnosing anything or making promises. You are handing them a code and letting a licensed provider take it from there.
Joining the partner program is free. There is:
- Free to join with no setup fee
- No monthly fee and nothing to buy
- No inventory, no medication, no prescriptions to touch
How the referral revenue works
You share a QR code or a personal link, on your front desk, your booking confirmations, your member app, or a sign by the plunge. When a member signs up through it, they are attributed to your studio with lifetime tracking, so you stay credited as long as they remain active.
For each active referred customer you earn a fixed marketing fee, set in advance and paid to your bank every month for as long as that customer stays active. It is a flat fee per customer, not a cut of sales. Here is the flow:
- A member scans your QR code or opens your link.
- They complete an online intake, which a licensed provider reviews.
- If the provider approves care, a licensed pharmacy handles fulfillment, refills, and shipping.
- You earn your fixed monthly fee for every active referred customer, deposited to your bank.
Your studio never sees a medication and never gives medical advice. The clinical side runs on a LegitScript-certified platform where licensed providers prescribe and licensed pharmacies dispense. MedStands is a referral platform, not a medical practice. Not everyone qualifies, and every request is reviewed by a provider.
What your members can explore
The point is education, not prescribing. Members can learn about options such as semaglutide and tirzepatide (GLP-1 medications commonly used to support weight management), sildenafil and tadalafil (commonly used to support sexual health), and wellness injectables like NAD+, MIC-B12, and glutathione. Some may explore provider-reviewed peptides or GHK-Cu. In every case, the licensed provider decides on treatment, eligibility, and dosing. You just make the introduction.
Common questions
Does my studio need any license or medical staff?
No. You never prescribe, dispense, or advise. Licensed providers review each request and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, so your role is simply sharing your code.
How much does it cost to join?
Nothing. It is free to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You keep your referral revenue on top of your existing membership income.
How do I actually get paid?
You earn a fixed marketing fee for each active referred customer, deposited to your bank every month for as long as that customer stays active. It is a flat per-customer fee, not a share of sales.
What if a member does not qualify?
That is expected. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Your studio bears no clinical responsibility either way.
