What MLM (I think) is this description?

Can anyone identify what underlying business this person is promoting?

I am convinced it must be some kind of snake oil, as its so carefully worded so as to sound really official and medical, but not actually claim anything outright. She's unsurprisingly evasive when you ask outright and tries to get on private messages (klaxon!)

Advert text:
Do you suffer with pain? Back pain? Arthritis? Obesity? Feel tired? I run a clinic in [Location].

My aim is to help people who have medical conditions, to help alleviate pain, improve health, and functional movement. I cover various conditions such as: obesity, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, joint replacement, depression, anxiety, osteoporosis, and more.

If anyone is interested, please message me for further information, I’d love to help you!

It just sounds like they do something like chiropractic?

If it sounds like Mlm, it usually feckin is though

She's been directly asked if she is an osteopath or similar registered professional and she's bluffed the response to that.

If you were, you'd just say so wouldn't you? Rather than the cloak and dagger.

Probably some sort of woo peddled by someone with no proper qualifications in anything medical.

Either that or it's a weight loss thing as all those conditions are made worse by being overweight.

Interested in this thread?

Diet woo, very possibly.

The only current one I know is that coffee that gives you the shits but that doesn't fit her pseudo-medical spiel. There used to be tablets which were like speed so you just fidgeted weight off!

Maybe it's the old faithful aloe vera...

It might be JuicePlus. I've seen sellers claiming all sorts of shit with that.

Doterra oils.

B12 injections? I had a beauty therapist offer me those the other day.

the only one I could see using those words

"I am registered under the Exercise Professional Register, and I also have a Level 5 Nutritional Therapist qualification, and 12 years personal training experience."

on their website one of the reviews

I have been working with [name] for a few months now prior to my hip replacement surgery in July 2019. [name] has been really supportive, particularly post surgery. She is an excellent trainer, very patient and will not push you beyond your limits. I would highly recommend [name]

they also have a link to a facebook page:

[name] - Specialist in Exercise with Medical Conditions & Nutrition.

From those, I would assume they work with exercise and nutrition - at a first glance I would say not MLM
