I've done a bit of research here. It's not snake oil.

They did a trial, https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.10.21256982v..., and it worked very well.

It's being commercialized here: https://www.apollohealthco.com/, and the guy has patents on everything.

Only 25 patients, not double-blind, no controls.

The protocol is mostly lifestyle changes, there’s no meaningful way it could be double-blind. It has to be compared to standard of care outcomes.

The control group could use a different set of lifestyle changes. Changing something always has an effect. You need to somehow figure out whether the changes you propose are better than just doing anything.
