The Truth About Herbalife, the Company Behind Loaded Tea Nutrition Clubs - Eater

"After moving back to Springfield, Missouri, following an internship in Seattle, Stockstill unwittingly visited her first nutrition club in 2020. She was looking for a low-calorie treat, a rarity among the chain restaurants and mom-and-pop shops in the city, and got really into a nearby club’s offerings. There, she met the woman who would eventually become her upline, and was instantly charmed. 'I found this protein shake shop, and just thought, ‘Wow, this place is really awesome,’' she says. 'I really loved the owner, she was really charismatic, and the shakes tasted really good.' In January 2021, Brittny and her husband Brandon took over a nutrition shop formerly operated by one of their upline’s recruits." - Amy McCarthy
