"My approach to dealing with difficult stakeholders has always been:
Engage - Directly engage with the stakeholder, meet or chat
Listen - Listen to what they have to say, patiently.

"The health of the product backlog can be determined by considering the following factors -
Is the product backlog prioritized?
Will each backlog be easily picked up by the engineering team i.e. does it have all the required details such as user story, acceptance criteria, and effort estimates?
No items coming back to the product backlog from the sprint backlog due to incomplete development or bugs
No of items moving to the "Done" state from the product backlog in each sprint
