Mostly evidence, with a few persuasion patterns mixed in.
- Stated credentials look inflated relative to the advice given.
- Gives advice beyond what their license covers.
Oh, look at Soul Chiropractic, the 'Listening Lumbar' who's too busy 'healing' with vibes to actually sell you a $200 detox tea or a 'root cause' lab panel. What a wasted commercial opportunity—staying in the chiropractic scope and preaching 'less forcing' instead of forcing followers into an affiliate pyramid. Truly, the most disappointing grifter who forgot to monetize the nervous system.

Direct answer
Soul Chiropractic is licensed in Minnesota as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Minnesota's chiropractic scope statute (Minn. Stat. § 148.01, subd. 1(4), (9)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Depression, Treatment of Anxiety and Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and Trauma, conditions that belong with appropriately board-certified physicians. Those same pages route patients toward paid programs that Soul Chiropractic profits from.

Credentials & scope
Glossary: Chiropractor (“Dr.”)
Learn: Is a chiropractor a medical doctor?
Credentials and scope reflect the dossier-wide determination for this subject, drawn from the strongest verified material across every analyzed source.
Stated: none · Likely: Chiropractor
Verified against the federal provider registry: DC · Chiropractor · MN license 6414.
Shannon holds a legitimate Chiropractor license but inflates their authority by listing psychiatric (Anxiety, Depression, PTSD) and pediatric medical conditions (neonatal reflux, bed wetting) as treatable services, implying a scope of practice that extends far beyond the state board's definition of chiropractic care.
- DC, Doctor of Chiropractic
Licensed professional for musculoskeletal care.
Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners limits scope to musculoskeletal/nervous system conditions via spinal adjustment; excludes systemic disease, mental health, and pediatric medical management.
General state chiropractic board standards
Subject appears to be a chiropractor. Practice state could not be reliably detected, using general chiropractic board standards. No obvious state chiropractic licensing board scope or disclosure violations flagged in this material, but verify against current board rules.
Chiropractic scope is limited to musculoskeletal and nervous-system conditions via spinal adjustment; must identify as DC, not MD; must disclose financial relationships when promoting products; must not claim to diagnose/treat systemic disease.
