I seem to see this job title used quite a bit, what would someone with this job do, how much do they make, who do they work for, etc?

Thank you, your answer was really thorough and easy to understand.I would describe it like this:
Independent Health Researcher is basically everyone on this forum and everyone else in the world who researches health related topics without being on a payroll from a company or goverment where the intention and research is biased/guided on financial interest of the employer.
As a job it means that you make money off the information you gathered. For example a scientist in a lab who gets his equipment and paycheck from a company that produces and researches antibiotics is NOT a independend researcher. He is employed by a company, and researches for the companys interest.
Independend means you are selfemployed and use your knowledge to help people and charge them money for it (can be friends, strangers, etc.)
Herbie said it correctly. Someone like Hans, Haidut and Danny.
To answer your question how much money they make depends solely on how much they charge, how much clientel/customers they have, how good they are in what they do etc. Selfemployment essentially.
Ray peat is one, so is Haidut and Danny, also Chris Masterjohn.
I think they work for the clientele through providing a service.
Yeah that’s why I didn’t mention which services or if money is involved or not.One small note - I don't consult clients. So, in my case the label applies but I would probably add "Volunteer" to the title as I don't earn a living though it and I do not get paid for my posts/discussions by anyone.
YesIndependent Health Researcher is basically everyone on this forum
