Why would anyone subscribe to a person who builds a following putting down other entrepreneurs. I say, EVERYONE…UNSUBSCRIBE! QUICK BEFORE YOUR MIND IS FILLED WITH HATE. This girl is a hater. You all know what it feels like to be wrongly accused of something and to be bullied. Tell me you recognize this in her video. HURRY! UNSUBSCRIBE, before you’re infected too! She’s got no idea what she’s talking about. Even BILLIONAIRES on Wall Street ran from Herbalife, @Hannah Thompson, doesn’t have the mindset of a positive person. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY! SAVE YOURSELF!!🔥😂
I just left a job at a nutrition shop after not knowing wtf any of this was. It took me days to realize what was going on bc I didn’t know much about Herbalife. If you have any questions let me know bc it’s scary how secretive they are.
@@raethecoach yeah I’m sure she doesn’t have a positive mindset and she’s such a bully by just explaining things based on facts you can find with a quick google search. You’re the one telling her she’s a hater and liar and to unsubscribe because she doesn’t agree with herbalife but SHE is the one with a negative mind set? Lmfao
I want to make it clear I do not do the business I only consume the products. I have been consuming Herbalife products for 12 years , please don't be ignorant and believe what 1 person tells you!!! do your research, I'm healthy and super grateful for finding this wonderful products
😭🙏 so many better cheaper alternatives especially just doing a natural diet. I study nutrition in college and many people jump into supplements like this when natural alternatives are literally what you really need.
I have lost 110 pounds with Herbalife. I have keep it off and I love their products. Please come to a shop and have one of their shakes. They are amazing. I was never forced to become a member.
As a person with a club store, I will say a few of the things are true. Herbalife has some really weird rules I don't agree with, I was told they have some of them as they didn't want to be sold as main retail at places like Walmart. However when people come into our shops, our menu clearly explains how many calories, carbs, and caffeine is in each of our drinks. I have no problem giving people our containers where they can look for themselves at what exactly is in our drinks. I mean you haven't gone to the shops or tried the drinks, so this was just a review about what you think clubs would be like not actually what they are. I never once try to get someone to become a distributor when they walk in the door, I just go over our drink menu with them and answer any questions they have. We offer quantity discounts and let people know they can become a preferred member under us if they ask about getting higher quanties or can't make it in the shop very often. People in very rare cases have had liver issues, but are far less than someone drinking something like lotus drinks or monster energy. ETC
@@itsallmyfault264 it hasn’t been proven that it causes liver issues, there have just been some claims saying that people have had lower liver enzymes after drinking Herbalife products supposedly. I should have worded that better, my fault. If I thought the drinks were harmful, I wouldn’t use or sell them.
I’ve tried it here and there and the Information is available on their site. Not Facebook! Wth 😆 Pyramids are illegal. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. All clubs, distributors operate differently. Just like dietician’s do. It’s a good business and they are healthier options for some. Which will threaten a lot of industries which affect. All businesses that do very well are talked about.
Ya but you're selling product for a pretty fucked up company that has robbed millions from thousands. That is your choice for sure but you're comment was a little ignorant
The whole point is none of this is regulated by the fda. Herbalife has literally been sued dozens of times and settled for making false claims about the company. The US federal trade commission even sued Herbalife
Just wanted to throw something out there but before I do, thank you for the video, it was informative and always good to hear both the pros and cons in whatever you try to do, ok just a reminder that Herbal Life is the company, you are not actually working for the company just because you are selling products at your club or shop, it would be no different if you owned a gas station and carried a particular product such as Monster energy drink; you do not work for Monster , it is different that Herbal Life will pay you for being a distributor and making profits from the company itself; in my opinion that is a win win, but that is just my opinion. Thank you again for your video
Should’ve known you were trying to sell something the way you were bashing Herbalife. Just do your thing girl. You don’t have to bash others for what they do just because you have a similar business.
Second this! For your light to shine brighter, you don't have to dim others. Herbalife is as a whole is a fantastic company, amazing products and changes people's lives. If you don't like it, fine but 95 countrys and over 10,000,000 people do 👍
“Amazing products” you say, should do some research about the liver injury related to consuming this supplements. “The liver injury attributed to Herbalife products remains unexplained. There was no clear commonality in the products themselves, much less their constituents. Some products contained green tea or aloe vera extracts, both which have been implicated in other forms of HDS liver injury.”
I own a shop and I have not asked once any customers to sign up, I am here to serve my customers, and we do share and show (all) ingredients We have print outs of all the info. of our products plus just go ask one of them to see what’s in it.
Exactly I go to one they never asked me to join Herbalife or anything like that i kept buying the products because noticed the difference in my body nobody brain washed me 😒😒😒
Same they didn’t lure me in I just sign up cause I want to save my money and order the meal replacements cause were I work at sometimes we do 16hrs of work. And I don’t want to buy outside food.
Herbalife is a specialized nutrition, that only targets people that want a different lifestyle. Our shake and teas are far more nutritious than Starbucks and other MLM businesses. I’m also a dietitian and I tell you one thing, I’d rather have my clients( majority, are busy people) to have a quick grab and go and to get at least somewhat of a nutrition intake. We care about our community and it’s like any other job, We distributors have to make a living and if it’s getting our customers to become better and healthier individuals it a win, win. I make sure that every time I suggest this shakes, I always mention that our shakes are simply a supplementation and that nothing beats actual food.
OR a whey protein shake that is equally nutritious, is a lot less expensive, and that doesn't support an MLM where the VAST majority of people don't even earn $500 a month.
Also, if you tell your clients that they are just supplements to meals, that isn't what Herbalife says that F1 is. They *specifically* say that it is a meal replacement. And they want people to do 2 of them a day.
Nobody said hat it was a meal replacement. Me as a formal distributor I can tell you we never say that to our clients 🤦♀️ it’s a fast meal if your on the go. Also the fact that people aren’t making money by selling the products is because they are doing something wrong. It’s probably because, they aren’t having convos with their customers and the ling them what’s right.
@@sophieyanez3108 okay so HALF of the "coaches" do it wrong?? B.S.- I used to buy (not sell) HL and did workouts with her upline who is one of the President's Club members. You are supposed to have tea and aloe 2xs a day, F1 and PP 2xs, supplements, and light dinner and 2 snacks. Eating every 2-3 hours Oh... and BTW better look at the official HL site because THEY call F1 (which is a CORE product) "meal replacement". You better tell corporate that they are doing it wrong. 😉😛 BTW
@@sophieyanez3108 Sincere question: what's the difference between a "meal replacement" and a "fast meal on the go"? Because I don't see any at all. A meal replacement = a meal and a fast meal on the go = a meal.
As a student in nutrition, no need for this when you eat a natural diet. Instead you were eating junk food and highly processed foods then switched to this and decided that this was a miracle product. 😭🙏
I frequent the shops. I never had anyone ask me for an email or try to get me to sell the products. They don't push bulk sales either. I get shakes and waffles made from the shakes. I'm lazy and rarely cook myself. I like things I can just fix and run. I buy 5 packs of the shakes and have one daily. I'm happy. Lost 45 pounds in 4 months doing a combo of nutrisystem, Herbalife and my own foods
I actually own one of these shops. I do only sell the teas and shakes. I only sign people up if they do want to make them at home and save money. My goal is not to gain distributors I generally love what I do and love my every day customers. I have my products on a shelf for everyone to see ingredients. Not everyone does it the way you are talking about. The FTC requires us to document every sale because of the “law suit” that never went through.
My question is do you offer any Zumba classes? I LOVE Zumba! You can keep the shakes and the tea. Just turn on the music so I can Zumba. Let's do this. I tend to get fired up during Zumba. Please don't hold it against me lol.
Couldn't the people who want to buy the products go direct to Herbalife or sign up themselves? Do you always have to be under a distributor just to buy products, please? If I go to Boots, for example, I can just buy a product and don't have to sign up for anything. Do customers need to get products on auto-shipment and buy a certain amount per month? If they get the products discounted, do you get paid to sign someone up or a % of the product sales? Thanks for helping
Also, do you have to buy the shop and pay the utilities, Jazmin? I don't know how it works, but I don't understand why you have to block out windows and not show the name. Surely it would be great if the product was advertised, a bit like a franchise
These places are a way for the distributor to sell their products and get enough product volume happening everywhere month for their commissions to be kid on what they sell. Sure they can recruit people but is not why they do it. It’s one of the reasons and options available to the customers. So if you want real food as you say, the. Ask for fruits and veggies to be added. this is a sales system for the distributors to sell products vi high volume consumption and make. Obey with it earning 35-50% revenue /profits from each sale. It’s not illegal. It’s not wrong. It’s a sales shop. If people want to sign up to get a discounted shake then that’s their prerogative and decision. The distributors benefit from the volume of products they use to sell in their shops and to get their promotions. Like really, you don’t like them recruiting but you also don’t what joe bloke to sell products and make a living from selling either? All you’re doing in this video is regurgitating what other anti mlm have said without nothing new or nothing of value to say. -“It’s not real food, it’s protein powders” you say. I can say the same thing about Vega, GNC, warrior and other protein powders out there. And no. I’m not a distributor. I’m not a client. I have consumed their shakes and got the shake product at retail twice from a distributor. That’s it. All these videos are so biased and honestly so old. If you really want to know about these places or others similar then go and work in one. I saw a video of a RU-vid who did that as part of her research into mlm. Her view was completely different afterwards. Yes she still doesn’t support mlm, but her experience showed her the purpose of these places and the people behind them.
This video is totally unfair. Truth is that their products are not bad at all, they work. In addition, the tea and shakes are so handy when you have a busy life, kids, travelling etc. Not everyone has time and for having tried them, it worked for me.
You can't use Herbalife name bc every shop is individually owned by distributor. You don't pay for members to consume the products at the shop. You pay for what you consume. You can find the products information at the Herbalife website. You don't know nothing but that you don't know nothing. You don't even know how to do research. If you are a dietitian, you should know about supplements. Calories are on every bottle 🤦🏽♂️ If you go to any nonHerbalife smoothie shop, you don't know what is in it, so maybe you should stick to your career
My friend has owned a shop for 10 years. She loves it. They hold events for people in the neighborhood and the front door is always wide open. With places like thos it really needs to be experienced location by location. Like all of life. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes you leaving thinking WTF was that.. ☮️❤️😊☯️
@Brian Cullen they would be out of business if they were. Especially a company with that level of visibility. Pyramid scheme and a legitimate Network Marketing company are completely different things. All Network Marketing is, is a way to move goods and services. And, they reward reps to do so.
@@fitcoachmedina Claim: If the company has been around for many years, it can’t be a pyramid scheme, it would have collapsed by now. Truth: Pyramid schemes eventually implode when they run out of new victims to recruit. For large multi-national pyramid schemes, like Herbalife, which operates in more than 90 countries, the scheme continues as the company expands to new markets. As a result, it can take some time for the company to implode. Right now, Herbalife needs roughly 2 million new recruits per year to sustain its growth since so many people quit each year.
@@fitcoachmedina What makes herbalife a pyramid scheme? Few people who join Herbalife will ever make any money from the company. Those who do, make money primarily from recruiting new Herbalife distributors, convincing them to buy product, and getting them to recruit even more distributors. Simply put, because Herbalife’s incentive structure rewards recruiting as opposed to retail product sales, Herbalife is a pyramid scheme. It lures in new distributors by promising riches and preying on entrepreneurial dreams but the truth is that 89% of Herbalife distributors will never earn a penny from the company.
I’m caffeine sensitive and almost bought one until I looked up what was in those pretty layerd teas. They’re in every city by me even the really small ones.
@@111marcie not entirely true. the liftoff is a combination of vitamin b and panax gensing. the herbal tea used is what contains the caffeine of 80mg per serving. so not having liftoff wont get rid of the caffeine intake. it will reduce energy output however.
The reason for why I started drinking Herbalife products is because I am a super caffeine sensitive person and they have a tea named NRG that regulates my energy. It’s absolutely amazing and I simply can’t change it.
The part about the liver issues is 100% true... I got roped in a few years ago as a friend opened up one of these " nutrition clubs" and I was trying to support her and to be fair I needed to lose some extra weight... Long story short, I spent a shit ton of money, was pushed to buy more to get a deeper discount and pushed to recruit other people, I never lost a pound and after consuming these shakes for about 5 months my routine blood work came back and my liver enzymes were super elevated..so elevated that she actually ordered more blood work including a Hepatitis panel. After I stoped the products It took about a year to get my liver enzymes to be normal again.
Usually when things like this happen it is because that distributor is NOT trained, that is, they have not been properly trained like those of my line. So that's why you didn't lose the weight you wanted.
I wish you could explain whether the products are healthy or not. How could you talk so negative about the shops if yourself has not even been there to try it out? Wish I didn’t waste my time watching this video. On another note, people are always supporting other companies like Starbucks, yet no one says anything about it
Because 1) Starbucks is not a pyramid scheme, and 2) if there is contamination in Starbucks' products (as has often been the case with Herbalife), the FDA steps in and stops it to protect consumers, while Herbalife is not regulated
Former distributor here. I did not have the best experience! Felt forced, I wasted sooo much money trying to keep myself at a “high rank” or volume, and barely made a dime, they are so expensive like $120 for aloe when I can find aloe at Walmart for $7! I’m so glad I got out, it opened my eyes to see what a huge scam I got into. On top of that, it literally made me SICK after a while! Oh, and I got blocked for cancelling my distributorship because I chose a different path, and spoke to a REAL dietitian and not someone claiming to be a “small business owner” that know nothing about the products or proper nutrition! 💀 These huns are gonna call me a liar but whatever! Lmaoo 😂
I think it depends a lot on your team. Like who your sponsor is. They need to be a good leader! My husband and I are distributors and we don’t force anyone to do anything. Also Their compensation businesses is amazing. And it’s more than weight loss. It’s encouraging a healthy life style and creating a nice community with positive minded ppl. There’s a lot of personal development Involved which has helped me deal with many life situations. This company is more than just that. But yes your coach cannot pressure you to sell or buy. This is the same thing as selling a protein brand on Instagram and getting a commission. Same thing. But this is a MLM meaning you can make more money if you put in the work. It’s not easy because you are now running your own business so that always involves more work. But having a 9-5 isn’t easy either because you’re working for someone else. Everything is sales overall it’s a good company if you have the right mentor and sponsor on your side.
I wish you would tell us what in the nutrition labels are bad/good. Which leads to my next question would this be fine as a substitute to unhealthy milkshakes? The video wasn't what I was hoping for.
The nutrition labels for Herbalife are not easily accessible and when reaching out to an Herbalife shop owner, they also did not provide any information. The lack of transparency is what I do not like about the company and one of the reasons I choose not to support them. If you enjoy their products, to each their own! But you can also enjoy regular old milkshakes if you’d like 😊
You can look up the nutrition labels pretty easy. And I did lose 30 lbs in two months so I guess I don’t see how it’s so bad. I’ve helped others lose almost 50 lbs and I’m not an active distributor
@@dietitianhannah 😭 the labels are on everything and we always show our customers when they ask or wanna check for weight watchers so yeah this is a lie
I own a club. We do about 800 to 1500 a day. One of my customer has lost 87lbs because he wanted to go sky diving. The products work but again you can lose weight with any diet. You just gotta be dedicated. I make 3k a month just from Herbalife and that’s without my nutrition club. My mentor is on pres team and makes 20k every month no matter what. He sold his club about a year ago. Him and his wife make 20k every month for the rest of their life with no club. I can see how you can see the pyramid scheme but Americans go to work every day for a company that doesn’t belong to them and get thousand upon thousands of dollars taking from them in the form of “ taxes”. I think that’s more concerning than a a pyramid scheme. You say you’re gonna be nice and stuff but yet you keep using words like sketchy and we are all in strip malls and it’s dark. I’ve had chiefs players come in all the time, fox 4 news people come in, Brittany Mahomes( Pat Mahomes wife) does Herbalife, cristiano ronaldo does Herbalife, Kyle Hamilton of the Baltimore ravens does Herbalife. You bash us but why don’t you do a video of Kellogg’s and how much paint thinner is in there. There’s sooooo many foods that literally have poison in them but your bashing Herbalife?? Either way, it’s changed my life and many others too from losing weight and that’s a success in my book. There’s so many places in strip malls so idk why you’re pointing that out like if a business is in a strip mall then it’s bad lol it’s not easy to afford a house, afford a building, afford 2,000$ a week in products, paying employees , buying cups, straws, stickers, water which I have a reverse osmosis system so when you get anything from my club you get the best water. I got TVs so people can hang out and have their tea and a protein ball. I have many football players of the chiefs and just all around successful people hang out in my club. I worked my butt off to build that place and to have you say negative things that I don’t think you know too much about. You’re a diet expert and you’re taking about us being in strip malls which has nothing to do with diet lol I think you’re angry that people are doing these things and not coming to see you. You’re talking about Herbalife rules lol our clubs are to lose weight and people do. You’re talking about the looks of a club and the “ weird names” and nothing about how the products help you lose weight lol I think you’re a little jealous in my opinion…. You see that fewer people are coming to see you and they’re going else where
Also we do about $800 in sales daily. We don’t ever get people to “sign up”. And if people are signing up it is to be a Preferred Member. That’s zero to do with Selling or being a Distributor! You can most certainly make money by just selling the products. And with the products we have our Nutrition facts right at the corner of the front part of our bar counter where you order.
Your nutrition facts don't cover the heavy metal contaminants that are consistently found when Herbalife products are examined. Please, do the right thing, and stop selling Herbalife to people
We have gut feelings for a reason. I was invited to one of these fitness clubs and even invited to start selling their products. I am so glad I didnt join since these are very shifty and shady people. I didnt feel right doing it. They told me I could make lots of money and they use pretty girls to lure young guys in looking to make money or get girls.
Here in Canada, those shop ae very fancy. They don't have a website because its not necessary. They tell us what they add in the shake AND all the nutrition info are on the Herbalife package , transparency all the way. Also they don't try to sell people any membership or products. People go there to get their shake or tea when they are on the go. I use Herbalife products at home and they are amazing. It help me to be in calorie deficit , i feel good , my skin glow and I'm full of energy. But, yes, unfortunately many of those people are trying to get other people as distributor to sell the products. I am not, and will never do this. But, some of them are really there to help other's.
Yes, i have a friend who owns a club that i work for and this is how we run ours to, if someone wants to know something i give them the canister or packets, bottle of tea whatever they want, they know its herbalife we are upfront, and the products work at the end of the day if they are good enough for olympians, pro athletes, drs and nutritionists they are good enough for normal people, yes some distributors are weird about it which makes everyone look bad but thats not actually how most of our clubs work at all, its so sad because people here one thing and take it as gospel, when they could do some research of their own to figure out most of the things being said have been proven false
The club I go to is nothing like what she is describing. And a lot of how you say the ones you attend are. They are really upfront about everything. They have everything displayed so that you can see for yourself the ingredients, nutrition facts and so forth. It's a well lit place with glass door and windows no covering on them. She doesn't push anyone to do anything. But I guess she's just out there to help people. I have been to a couple where people were pushy about signing up so I just stopped going. That simple.
Yes I’m a formal distributor and my club isn’t so bad looking we like upgrading many things to make it look approachable. And yes when they ask what’s in it we say it and explain what it does. Also if they are new, we willing explain everything that we are doing step by step so that they know what they are drinking and what we are putting in it.
@@savannah9956 I assure you no pro athletes or Olympians are going anywhere near something as shady as Herbalife....you guys are just...wow...the delusion is strong with you...
I'm wondering where you got your info that claims that the ingredients and nutritional contents are not listed, because funnily enough I happened to buy a couple tubs of protein shakes from a Herbalife shop this week, and the packaging clearly states the full nutritional breakdown and full list of ingredients. So I'm confused, but maybe this is a new thing they have added to their packaging? They didn't try to sell me anything beyond what I'm looking for and am also wary of any kind of pyramid scheme, I do agree that there is such a wild west approach to nutrition today it's shocking, and so many fad diets that claim to be 'the one'.
Im confused also because all of the ingredients are listed in their Herbalife website and they even have the nutritional value if you will check it out. If you ask them whats in it they will tell you because they have nothing to hide. This review is really weird for me. This is not accurate at all. She should go to a nutrition club herself and ask and investigate very well and not just assume. Distributors in my area are nice and helpful. They can even show you the canisters and containers of their products if you're really interested to know more details.
I live in Indianapolis . There is spark nutrition right outside of my house and it's very open with windows and herbal life products on the shelves. If you live close to Indianapolis you should check it out. I don't like that they don't know there macros and don't seem educated in their products but they don't hide who they are and what they sell
I have never been asked once to sell the products when I get shakes. The stores are not sketchy either. They shakes are a tool and provide a lot of health benefits for people that like something quick and easy.
My cousin and his wife are a distributor of herbal life and I believe they’re being misled. They are barely making enough money to cover the rental at the strip mall that they’re at. And they spend all day everyday between the two of them trying to make it work it’s really sad because they’re both hard working people and want to succeed. They both work full time jobs outside of this business as well to afford paying all their other bills.
I am very concerned about what I consume and it really bugged me that I can't see what exactly is IN each drink. I went to one today, not knowing they were herbalife! Kinda felt trapped when I walked in. I wanted to be polite but when I asked questions about what was in the drink I finally picked, they showed me the powder mix. Not a typical tea. It did bug me that I had to give my email as well. I remember herbalife before. It was not clear walking in.
I have been enjoying their teas for a few weeks now. I live in middle Tennessee and have been to several shops. All of the shops have clear and present windows that you can see inside. The shop closest to me not only has his Herbalife containers on the shelf for you to see, but he also sells the tea kits for you to take home. I have never been asked to join a club or pay a membership fee. I just pay for the tea and go home. 
Same and I’m in texas. I stopped for a while to see if there was a difference in my body and instantly saw a difference so I started back because of the positive effects😊
cap, you see im a member because i CHOSE to be one, not because anybody told me i had to. I happen to have been using their for a while now and absolutely NO i repeat NO health issues and/or dietary issues. It actually helped me to gain weight, I'm 17 i had been struggling with an eating disorder and the products actually helped me to like food again, i drank a shake with probiotic and fiber because i needed it, i gained weight. the products aren't just for weight loss but you can use them for weight gain and/or mussel gain! It's improved my life because before it i almost died i was 89 lbs and now im up to 118 and that's pretty good for a 17 year old athlete. again, i was NOT TOLD to join anything or sign up for anything but i happen to have ASKED on MY OWN TIME how i could have the shakes at home (as it was a 40 minute drive from my house) and they signed me up with a coach. My life has never been better! Herbalife Strong!!
Dam you are very bias. I know not all there products are not perfect. But i luv their products. I been to a shop and this didnt push me to be a sell their products.
Right! Yet, McDonalds on every corner and Starbucks… nobody complains of their ingredients and all the intake damage🤔 HERBALIFE is a LIFESTYLE change… and 95% of people that get sick, are the ones that ate everything BEFORE and never paid attention to what was going in their bodies. Yet, once their bodies are learning a healthy path, they get all crazy because of side effects they never felt before as the body is DETOXING the OLD habits 😎 hola 👋🏼
It would be very very interesting if you get the Herbalife membership and try and investigate all of their products as part of your undercover investigation. I've heard people saying that they feel amazing with their products. :O Herbalife is all around the world. It's weird how a company with horrible products is still on the market. You can see Herbalife reps in Rusia, India, Canada, all Latin America, etc. And I agree with you... there is nothing better that eating natural veggies and fruits. :)
Unfortunately because of the way fruits and veggies are processed, we're not getting enough of our vitamins and nutrients which is why I was trying to find a healthy product. I started going to a health place called oasis nutrition that sold protein shakes and herbal teas with all of Herbalife products in them. I became a member and I haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm on my menstrual cycle right now and I have endometriosis. This is the first time I have had zero pain on my period. The only thing I've been taking is herbalife collagen, herbalife lift off, and there metabolism boosting lemon tea concentrate but I mix it all together then add a bit of orange g2 powder for hydration then I mixe blue starburst powder and it gives a great flavor.
All I’m going to say is that makes me pretty upset to watch your videos and see how someone is so judgmental about something they don’t even know. I have been buying their products for over 17 years for personal use. I have been asked if I wanted to sell the products and had said no in the past. No one pushed me to do it and I LOVE THAT!! I am a very responsible consumer who reads and even searches for what the ingredients are in the products. I have only been amazed for how amazing the ingredients are. If you want to speak about something, then buy the products and check the ingredients, don’t just think you have the right to stack honest people who’s working hard and learning to offer a better life for their love ones.
I'm so confused. How on earth do you review something without tasting it, visiting the club, or talking with a distributor? How is this a review? These social platforms give you all way too much credit. Oh, wait, is this for views, and therefore, money? Oh, now I get it! Carry on....
As someone who goes to these shops I have literally have never paid a daily membership fee. They require an email for FPC regulations and have never ever called or emailed me with any advertising… I always call it a better choice. I can no longer can have coffee at all for health determined by my doctor. The teas help me from crashing and I get it without the added caffeine. I could take a supplement instead but the reality is having a flavored drink. I wish there were local shops that make similar drinks or even fresh juice but there isn’t…. Just a customer perspective
So I have been working at 3 loaded nutrition stores in my area for 3 years and some of the "facts" that you have provided in this video are not accurate. Any energy drink can give you liver problems because of the excess of caffeine. People get liver problems from drinking excess amounts of coffee. This is not something that is just a loaded tea thing. The e-mail address is so that we can e-mail receipts to the customer if they should ask for it. Herbalife does not e-mail customers randomly, that is only if they request a receipt, which we do not provide paper receipts, so the alternative is e-mailing receipts. The goal is not to "rope" anyone into becoming a distributor and we actually do not provide that information unless it is requested by a customer. This business is not ran like it used to be. This business is no different that going to starbucks and getting a coffee. I am so sorry that you are so against MLM, but these shops are not a part of trying to "reel" in distributors. Our goal is to make healthier options for energy and nutrition. We make up recipes ourself and we always give out any nutrition information that the customer wants or needs for their own personal diets. Just because you could not find this information online, does not mean that you can't simply go in the club and ask. We are very transparent with our customers and I am appalled that you would bash all of these family owned businesses just because of the information that the internet has provided you with. Our small towns don't have big places like Starbucks and we are just a small family owned business that is trying to grow our business and succeed. Please try asking an owner of the information that you are looking for instead of saying that our shops are being "sketchy". Since each club has their own unique recipes based on what the customers needs and wants are out of their nutrition, each stores nutritional facts are different. That is why there is no big fact sheet that would be accurate for each location. We do however provide any information upon request. It is like going to your small local coffee shop and expecting for them to have the same nutritional facts as a coffee shop in another area that is owned by different people. Yes, they use coffee beans, but their recipes are not the same. Yes, we use the same products as other loaded tea shops, but the recipes are different. Thanks.
Omg thanks so much for saying all of this.. Herbalife is the best product. They are not a pyramid.. CHECK IT OUT BEFOR YOU SPEAK.. Most of the clubs. There main interest is making customers feel welcomed. And its place for people tonget together and visit. Or have fitness clases..And its NOT TRUE. What shes saying about profit. I know of many people with Herbalife clubs that are doing very well. And the energy in the tea bombs is green tea. Go in talk to them. Be HONEST ...say iam interested in these products..Don't need to go undercover.. They won't be a FAKE like you had planned.. !.
Props to you for defending these family owned businesses! I know folks working VERY hard to run them, and no - they aren't trying to expand their herbalife customer bases.
All that writing...who you trying to convince? When was the last time you wrote something that long for fresh fruits and vegetables...all that for a man made product...then, NO THANK YOU!
Okay so I was thinking I’d see you saying stuff about what is so bad about these products and what in them is so bad. But rather it felt like you were just hating on MLMs and their business model. You say that they’re not about giving better health, but that’s literally the goal behind every shop and their products. I didn’t ever do it to just make money. I tried it because I was over being Fat and this was a last ditch effort to move that number in the scale. I lost 6 lbs in 3 days, and 30 lbs in under 2 months. And I plan on doing it again starting tomorrow. But anyways I just don’t understand why your whole video is hating on them rather than listing the ingredients… which you can find even on Google… but rather just repeating over and over your disdain of the business rather than the bad that is in them. Disappointed for sure.
And to add… they do not all try to get people to become distributors… ours here in our small town (yes we have just one with 9k people) just literally makes the drinks and sends them on their way…. SMH
It is sad that a bright girl like you has to lower yourself talking nonsense about a product you don't have enough information in order to promote your services. Next time you made another vidio please get more acurate information. It seens you lack a lot of knowledge. You are very wellcome to walk at any herbalife club. Wish you the best in your business
I go to one of the “clubs” frequently and everything she said is true. I really don’t care that it’s a pyramid scheme, I’ve had some really dope conversations with the guy that owns the one in my town. He’s a Christian and I’m an existential nihilist😂
Honey, you need to check your grammar before even posting something and then telling someone "they seen you lack a lot of knowledge" lmao get a grip and stop supporting Herbalife
The “smoothie shop” in my small city definitely doesn’t follow any of these rules. The only reason I knew they were Herbalife is that they leave all of the containers out on the counter. They have such short hours each day I don’t know how they stay in business. It’s weird that they don’t advertise their prices or nutrition components. It’s also frustrating they don’t use any real fruit or ingredients. It’s all just mystery powder. One of their tea bombs messed with my body so much. I’m the type of person who could drink coffee before bed and be just fine too.
Yes!! I agree with the “mystery powder” reference. I have been to several different variations of these smoothies/tea shops and whenever I ask the employees what’s in their teas or smoothies, they have a hard time explaining it. They use vague terms like “antioxidants and vitamins”…. You mean to tell me this multicolored drink is just vitamins?? Lol 🤣 It’s concerning because what if a customer has an allergy or a reaction? They wouldn’t even know what they actually consumed. The owners barely even know what they’re selling. I’ve been to several different stores that sell these types of drinks and I even noticed that some of them have the exact same drink names and signage.. I also agree with what you said about them never advertising their pricing. The next thing you know, you’re paying $30 for a smoothie bowl and a “mystery tea”. The whole concept is so strange to me.
Hey! Not anybody other than a dog groomer, but HOW can they just not include ingredients??? How does anyone w allergies consume these? I know that's super important to a lot of people. Unreal.
i am a distributor since Jan and i am also a registered nurse. so 1. There are many people who cannot tolerate many things. people who are lactose don’t blame the milk manufacturer for their upset stomach. 2. The nutrition label is on every product sold as well as the info on the website so weird products…false. 3. Please tell me what restaurants has clear windows all around so you can see through it. 4. if you opened the shop to sell HN products why must you sell other stuff.? no one forced anyone to do anything. we might introduce you to the business side but you are free to buy and not become a distributor. Only naive people call things MLM and make it a bad thing. Working for a company that will write you up or terminate you for needing time off is better? i’d much rather have time freedom and make an income as well helping people change their lives and have a healthy relationship with nutrition. i’m assuming you provide services for free, because it sounds like you are using scare tactics to get people to follow you. Anyway if anyone here was thinking about Herbalife i encourage you to go to the actual website and do your research, not someone who is already bias. Have a great day
Except Herbalife IS an MLM. You’re an RN, but you haven’t researched what their products can do to peoples bodies?? They scam people to make money. It’s a pyramid scheme, whether or not you agree.
Thank you for this information, I heard a girl talking about one of these stores and I went and bought 2 $7.50 32oz jug then I thought about after I got home were are the ingredients. You’re absolutely correct about everything. I went on the site were i bought my tea from and it was nothing but a tiny description and one of the things that was up there was stevia. and I have tried many different drinks with Stevia and I know that was not stevia. The store was dark and odd the powder were in little plastic containers with hand written labels, like bar, Marley, or raspberry dream. I should have known it was something not right but now I know. Thank you for this video. I went up her to see if I could find the ingredients, no I know they will never share them and it’s something definitely wrong with that.
There was a smoothie shop that popped up in my small town. I had never heard of herbalife prior to going to this shop. I bought a great orange cream smoothie. I loved it. After a couple of times I asked what was in this smoothie. The person actually told me it was made with a herbalife powder and they also told me they added vanilla pudding to the drink. I never went back. If I am going to consume crap I will be drinking a real chocolate icecream milkshake.
This is not true at all, if this is something they say they were not trained properly i know someone that owns a club and i can send you all the information you would like on the products..... olympians, proffesional athletes, and nutritionist have recommended our products and use them so i would say their opinion is much more valid.
@@savannah9956 I was IN Herbalife. And when I said that the products were upsetting my stomach, and a few of my clients, I was told to try the Aloe, which did even more damage and I had bouts of IBS that didn't end until I started eating normally. Athletes getting kickbacks to promote products doesn't impress me at all. The products are overpriced and dont work any better than a health store brand protein, which are much more cost effective. And you don't get the cult crap with it. The fake friendship that only comes with staying a part of their cult...I mean, team. My Prez level upline didn't speak a word to me after I told her I was happy with just using the products and wanted to focus on my charity org helping Vets. She only was interested when she thought that she could use me to try and manipulate the Vets we try to help into joining. But when that wasn't an option, she dropped me, someone she used to say she Loved, like a hot rock. I'm sorry, but the MLM business model is flawed and manipulative on so many levels besides just the obvious ones, like not being truly clear as to what's in their products, and the expensive shakes at the clubs are only a sweet way to entice people to join a pyramid scheme dressed up like a legal MLM. 🤷♀️ #justsayNOtoManipulativeMLMBusinesspractices
Wtf okay it was only that one person they need to get their facts straight. It’s either they are joking or they are being serious. If they got caught saying that in front of an important person they can get in big teouble
"The truth about something I know nothing about, because I've never even in been in one, but I will insult my competition, call them names, and say thier business is suspect. All while never even attempting to walk into one. Kinda sad. ❤️
Please please please go to one of these clubs undercover and ask them questions about it and then make a video and let us know what they said. Maybe go to multiple. I just tried sending private messages to find out what kind of protein they used and couldn’t get a clear answer. I finally did my research and found out they were Herbalife. This video was great!
@@jseekahprospective9605 yep the ones here all have nutrition in their names too. Our local is Flourish Nutrition, no where in her advertising does it mention Herbalife, it even gives initial impression it’s a juice shop, very sketchy
Well a lot of them are opened by small families who are starting their own small business, I don’t think it’s wrong for them to open a healthy smoothie shop. Also, it’s a networking market I studied network marketing and I actually majored in college for network marketing business it still exists b exude they were able to PROVE in a court of law that they indeed are not a pyramid scheme. I feel like your information is based on more of your own opinion than facts. It’s not for everyone, because it has to be for a person who knows about entrepreneurship. It’s a business plan for people who don’t have MONEY to spend 100’s of thousands on opening a business. The rules are there because Herbalife does not take responsibility for people creating waffles and shakes with their products, because they only sell the plant based proteins and vitamins to their distributors not to the public that’s why it’s a rule. This is all false what your saying bro why are lying? My best friend who I also encouraged her as a BUSINESS MAJOR THAT network marketing is a good business idea and way to go especially if you don’t have so much money that you want to invest. I know this business as a business major I’ve done my research on this and no they are not charging the shakes and smoothies and making up distributors? Lol no they have an app? Hello where they charge the customer and only the customers information is registered as a customer consumption sometimes one time consumption and some of them become regular customers. By the way you are not mentioning the fact that they did win in court against the allegations of pyramid scheme with evidence, and none of the vitamins and supplements you uy form any company is not FDA “approved” because they are not medicine or food. Did you know that? And also, you are bringing down a small business ownersً acting like the company is out to get you, when seriously it’s small families who are ”owning” these cafes. So what your doing is not right because your giving your opinion on something you don’t even know, you haven’t even BEEN in one and you want to judge? That’s called discrimination no wonder people Hispanic people hate white liberals y’all are the most racist discriminating people that exist. Speaking from your ass and not speaking from experience and facts.
Weird my endocrinologist said its a good meal replacement for me. I have had amazing results. You said they look like amazon. They look like a normal GNC to me. Thanks for your opinion and let my doctor know he was wrong.
Tf what he or she tried to explain so that people be judging about how Herbalife is “bad” and how they make you gain weight but when people go to McDonalds they don’t say anything. Hmmm a bit ironic don’t you think 🤦♀️
@@sophieyanez3108 well, if someone is planning to go to McDonald’s, they know exactly what they are walking into. You can simply go online before you go there and look up all the nutrition information. basically, with these shops you have to go in and not knowing any nutritional information.
😂 predatory? You go in and purchase a drink and move on with your life. There is no sales pitch. 🙄 it’s no different than going into Jamba Juice or Starbucks.
The “Deep Dive” and “Review” of these places doesn’t include actually visiting one. You say your assessment of them comes from “what people have told you” but because you didn’t visit one or a couple of them you didn’t get testimony from customers that maybe were helped by these places. Most of these rules you say aren’t even true. There’s a few of these around my house and they all have visible interiors. None of the windows or doors are covered. And if they’re not allowed to show or mention Herbalife branding then how do they convince you to sell Herbalife? The ones I have been to are very open about what’s in their offerings. Not to mention there are many many “pyramid schemes” out there such as Mary Kay or Tupperware. Just because they don’t have a “normal” business model doesn’t mean their products don’t work.
Well said. Global leader in weight management and nutrition. Millions and millions of people helped over 42 years, Worlds number one meal replacement protein shake. Awards won over the years. Many people making a damn good income as well as many earning supplemental income, living the life they choose to design. You don't get to be as successful as Herbalife by being a scam. People seriously need to do some proper research.
@@cynthiaslater7062 Respectfully, that’s not true. My wife and I use their products and we eat quite a bit. It’s not about starving yourself. Far from it. I lost 65lbs and my wife lost 45lbs. Their products are just one part of the equation.
I worked at a shop they literally put cool-aid packets in the energy bombs and all kinds of other non Herbalife shit in them. I literally had to empty all coolaid packets in a glass jar so no one knows what you’re actually putting in there. They were praying off my ignorance and I’ve been 2 weeks in working there and I’m already about to quit. He was making me watch all these videos about how to resell and I look at my “coach” and I’m like yo this is a pyramid scheme and got so pissed at me
I personally lost weight only with Herbalife, and it was very comfortable. It was not a strict diet, it was not a hunger strike as you describe here. Combined diet. morning and evening shake, and everything else is table food, with a wide variety. Their shakes are a source of vegetable protein, which is very easily digestible. I don’t know how a person can meet the protein requirement without exceeding the calorie content. I couldn’t lose weight, but Herbalife gave me back my youth. and I took all the necessary tests before and after Herbalife. and I didn’t have any liver problems. but what you are saying here is a very weird and very personal opinion and cannot in any way be an expert opinion.
Thank you for the inf. Have done a review on Plexus? Beside having a healthy lifestyle what type supplements can we use? Any recommendation for a protein?
You know what I think is weird you know kind of the same the way that you think these Herbalife shops are weird I think RU-vidrs are weird, especially the ones that try to downplay other businesses, don’t you get money for promoting your videos you also don’t share everything that goes into the making your videos or how much money you’re getting from RU-vid right I have plenty of friends normal people just like any other person that owns some of these shops that you’re talking about and I can’t even begin to mention how many people they've helped, literately have watched people change their whole life around and become suicidal to live in a fully functional life so please please if you don’t know personally anything about these businesses please don’t believe this lady and if you had a bad experience with one of the Herbalife shops sorry but all of them aren't the same so if you’re gonna do a video on Herbalife please make real one and accredited one, also there's another thing how can you talk about a product that you’ve never even tried I mean since we’re so opinionated, stop scaring people every business has different levels and every business has their right to operate their business how they would like to operate their business and everybody that’s watching her video and commenting let me tell you guys something don’t think some of these tubers won’t try to throw somebody else under the bus to get a couple likes and views just saying and I’m not trying to be rude either have a good day! she actually sounds like she’s obsessed and yes I am kind of angry because I have friends in this business that dedicate their lives every day to be good business owners and be good people to other people they dedicate each day to helping other people!! So Good bye!!
This lady is really against these nutrition stores. If most people knew what was in most milkshakes they wouldn’t drink those either. I understand quite clearly that she doesn’t like MLM and that is her choice. My daughter and her friend each have a store in different towns. You can make good money if you are smart in shopping around for rent that isn’t $1,500 or $2,000 a month. Picking a great location also. You don’t have to pick a place that is a dark dungeon either, only if you want to. My daughter has many customers that absolutely love the teas and shakes and they know the ingredients in them.
In 1995 I was 18 and my mom and stepdad started selling Herbalife and because I wanted to lose a little weight they gave me a bottle of one of their products to take. I ended up passing out at work, falling and hitting my head on a stair climber (i worked at a fitness center), getting a concussion. There was ephedrine in the tablets they gave me turns out. I needed electric shock in the ER to get my heart rhythm back to normal and I'm STILL to this day seeing cardiology every 6 months because of heart rhythm (SVT) issues. This company is shady af. You do not need this nonsense to make yourself a smoothie, tea or shake that is nutritious!
Many years ago, a lot of supplement companies were selling products with ephedrine. Herbalife removed the harmful ingredients from that product. They are not "shady." They were the first to remove it. I believe their products are amazing, because I have had amazing results, not because they say so.
First of all most of what she said is completely false. No one is force or pushed into anything. I have been a Herbalife consumer for over 10 years and just opened up my shop 3 weeks ago. All because I choose too. No one pushed me or tried to convince me other wise and yes this is a business is a pyramid but you also a percentage on retail like any other restaurants, retail store does. First thing you have to think as a consumer is what your body can have and can’t have. There are peanut allergies, caffeine allergies, vitamins allergies. So make sure you ask for the ingredients listing if you have any of these. Also you may not know if you have intolerance to any minerals or vitamins until you get a reaction. So every one is different. Know your body!!! Some people ca. complaint of stomach pain. Well you may have gastric problems and it is a normal reaction to the aloe just lower the dosage cause aloe is like alcohol on a wound. Inform yourself take things in moderation and educate yourself about your body needs and limitations. This video is unfair for the many people that can actually benefit from this products.
That’s true, it’s a personal choice, no one can push you to bye or take something and why people don’t think of all the food that they bye from supermarkets where all shelves are full with processed food full with chemicals and they pay for that a lot of money , the biggest pyramid us the food industry that poison us every day and people even didn’t think about.
I’ve been on both spectrums of this and I think it’s hilarious how many people say they ask for this and that when going to a shop. I understand why obviously and while some shop owners don’t take the time to know their products most do. That being said, I’ve been going to a nutrition club over my local gnc and dq and have personally gotten amazing results. I was a stickler to them but everyone’s different. I’d rather you tell people to form their own opinion or express that you don’t know how the company actually works before giving a review.
If your location has a rep that doesnt display all of their nutrition they have a lack of understanding. I know places around me display their carbs/calories/protein/fat
A pyramid scheme is NOT selling products! A pyramid scheme is paying someone for adding new members and only adding new members! Herbalife and all other MLM’s pay you when you SELL product, just like every other business. You are definitely not doing a service for anyone by not actually knowing what you are talking about. I challenge you to go in a shop and actually ASK someone what’s in it, how they work, etc. And if you are such an “expert”, learn a word other than sketchy!
Omg these “nutrition” shops are popping up literally everywhere, every time I open instagram I see a new shop promotion on there and they all have the same flavors so I started looking into it after I actually tried a nutrition shop in my area and I was like mmmm $10 per shake is kind of expensive let me see what these really are
I went two 3 different ones in my area. I tried them. . . some taste like a vitamin drink you can taste the product. (in the tea and shake) they use things like water flavor packets and their tea (which they say are for metabolism) Herbalife you also have to pay 40 to create an account before you even buy anything. it sounds good to make money or extra money and if it works for you great. but we can all loose weight without these products and have an actual great quality protein shake. one sol, garden of life, bobby parish created a clean protein powder (flav city youtube). the tea was $6-10 depending on where i went. 1st shop i had like a kids size sonic drink for $10 2nd it was a regular size small for $6 if you want aloe vera walmart sells pure aloe vera juice you can put in your hot tea or coffee even water
@Tay Lee You can get a burger, fries, soda, and a shake for 5 dollars at Wendy's. You want their salad it's 8$ $10 for a shake is false. They are $6 and and are a great alternative to the fast food 99% of the people eat. I call B.S.
@@haleighford2366 You don't have to pay anything to create an account. More lies. All accounts are FREE. Preferred Membership cost $35 and it gets you a nice discount. Quit spreading lies
@@BridgingGapsFinancialEd good for you keep drinking the mystery shakes and pushing their product! You’ll eventually get tired of waking up broke and in same size jeans as you were 3 months ago while they continue to get rich… meanwhile people can call them on their bs when they see it!
Me too! I has been consuming the products for 3 years now and I have never felt better and with more energy. I was never offered or forced to be a member or distributor but I would love to 😍
