Any experience with business coaching and "12 week system"

My significant other owns a small business and and has been struggling with his mental health. He started therepy. His therapist referred him to a life coach. This life coach works with business owners specifically to help them focus their goals and develop their business. She brings worksheets and she fills them out with him and says things like "healthy owner, healthy family, healthy business". She's trying to get him to change his eating habits, convert to chemical free products, and start exercising. All these things are great and I also want him to be healthier, but she's signing him up for all these subscriptions. Like an exercise app subscription. And a melaleuca subscription and having him buy these supplements. And honestly most of what she says sounds like empty platitudes. I don't know what her business program is specifically called. Ive only heard part of one of their sessions, but to me it sounded like a mesh between a pyramid scheme and a cult. All the verbiage she was using, how she had this set of products she wanted him to start using just ready to go with introductory pricing and everything.

I want him to get healthy, but I'm concerned he's in a mentally vulnerable place and this woman and her "system" is taking advantage of that. And if I'm wrong and she is totally legit and genuinely helps him i will eat my words, but in the small amount of time I was around her I felt kind of skittish, or hesitant, and the more I think about it she feels slimy.

Does anyone have any experience with these types of systems or life coaches or subscriptions.
