The Bachelors Australia 2023’s Thomas Malucelli is an active and vocal supporter of the controversial multi-level marketing scheme Isagenix.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) companies are technically legal, but they often verge on the edge of becoming pyramid schemes and their claims are often unverified by science.

There are countless reports of people suffering health issues due to unregulated products or going into severe debt due to the aggressive distributor downline and (oddly pyramid-shaped) structure of different MLM companies.

What is Isagenix?

Isagenix sells numerous products aimed to assist in weight loss and long-term “health” goals.

The “health” and diet supplement brand claims to have research backing them up, despite not being approved by the FDA and debunked by other academic medical studies.

Isagenix’s studies testing sample sizes were extremely small and widely considered unreliable by the international medical community.

So Dramatic! Daily podcast

As reported in episode 242 of the So Dramatic! podcast, numerous insider sources have spoken out against Isagenix and Thomas’ involvement in the scheme.

“The stuff they sell is full of sugar and synthetics but they brainwash desperate people looking for a quick fix to believe its the answer to their weight and life issues – it’s a con,” one insider explained.

Various respected publications, including the Sydney Morning Herald, ABC and Australian consumer advocacy group Choice, have all reported similar findings.

Choice also found that many of Isagenix’s products had much cheaper alternatives or “dupes” with similar ingredients in regular Australian supermarkets and pharmacies.

Thomas co-founded The Conscious Collective for Isagenix, which apparently helps others to “shift their mindset so they empower themselves to find their inner greatness and accomplish their health goals”. Sure, Jan.

As well as promoting the “health” supplements themselves, Thomas actively recruits a large downline and boosts his own income under the guise of helping others build their own business.

Thomas – who describes himself as a “transformation specialist and lifestyle entrepreneur” on LinkedIn – posts to his social media channels to encourage his followers to sign up to change their life by becoming distributors.

FYI – Isagenix‘s own data noted that 79 per cent of their distributors earned no commission from selling the products in 2016. Just because Thomas has been making bank, doesn’t mean you will!

Is Thomas Malucelli on The Bachelors Australia 2023 to promote Isagenix?

Other sources have suggested that Thomas may use The Bachelors Australia to further promote his downline.

“Thomas is so lovely. He is big in the Isagenix world. Is he doing The Bachelor to build his profile and business? I think so,” one insider suggested.

They added: “I would say he is way more focused on business and success than love. But I could be wrong.”

Another claimed: “Isagenix is so fucked. I can’t believe he calls himself a lifestyle coach and passive income specialist or some sh*t.

“I swear he will go for girls with the best influencer prospects so they can join his upline of “inspiring healthy and successful people” or something. He is just seeding for his brand.” I mean, it’s not a bad idea, just saying…

Thomas Malucelli may have damaged his Isagenix reputation by appearing on The Bachelors Australia 2023

Isagenix has a strong community of distributors practising alternative lifestyles (read: anti-vaxxers galore), which apparently includes being against “mainstream” propaganda like reality TV.

So we’re not surprised that Thomas actually received some backlash from his Isa cult community about appearing on The Bachelors Australia. NGL, it’s still pretty funny, though.

“Can’t stand the mainstream media and their constant brainwashing! How can anybody support that sh8t after how they coerced and tricked everyone into getting jabbed,” one commenter wrote.

“It’s a sick world and the mainstream media is driving it! I wish Thomas all the best but am disappointed he would fall for this apple.” LOL!
