Unnatural
It is obnoxious when middle-aged people force me to try their health management methods, especially when these methods are mostly pseudoscience
when talking about middle aged people in general, use the plural
as a result "they" becomes ambiguous, referring to either the methods or the people, so better to restate the subject

It is obnoxious when middle aged people try (or "a middle aged person tries") to force their own health management methods. and they are, mostly, pseudo-science. (or just "lies"). this way it would have sounded more natural
