Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.
- Of 11 health claims, 9 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence, and 2 were not independently checked.
- Primary persuasion tactic: The 'Dr.' Without the MD.
- Stated credentials look inflated relative to the advice given.
- Profits from the products and labs they recommend, with no clear disclosure.
Oh, look at Hunter Overley, the 'Functional Medicine' wizard who's totally got your 'root cause' figured out! He's the guy who'll tell you your IBS is just blood sugar (because he's a chiropractor, not a doctor) and then sell you a $200 lab panel and a stack of supplements to fix it. He's the king of the 'book a call' funnel, turning your health anxiety into his cash flow, and he's so confident he doesn't even need a disclaimer to hide the fact that he's practicing medicine without a license. Truly, the 'Root Cause Revenue' of St. Louis!

Direct answer
Hunter Overley is reviewed as a chiropractor (DC), not an MD/DO physician. Dr. Trust Me Bro analyzed Hunter Overley's listing of "skin rashes" using text from the website, then cross-checked it against academic sources. Peer-reviewed literature indicates the claim is not supported by peer-reviewed evidence: There is no high-quality evidence in the listed papers supporting chiropractic treatment of skin rashes. The only directly relevant items found in the broader search are isolated case reports or low-level narrative claims of improvement in eczema/atopic dermatitis after chiropractic care, which are not sufficient to establish efficacy. The list does not include any systematic review, randomized controlled trial, or major guideline endorsing chiropractic treatment for rashes. Case reports can generate hypotheses, but they do not demonstrate that chiropractic treatment works for skin rashes. The claim is contradicted by the absence of guideline-level evidence and by the fact that standard dermatology management of rashes is not chiropractic-based. The search results for chiropractic and rash are limited to case reports and non-peer-reviewed or low-credibility material, which means the evidence base is weak and highly vulnerable to bias, regression to the mean, placebo effects, and spontaneous improvement. None of the listed papers on hypertension, nutrition, headache, transfusion, pericarditis, or evidence grading provides support for chiropractic treatment of skin rashes . The mainstream medical view is that skin rashes should be evaluated and treated according to their cause, usually with dermatologic or primary-care management, and chiropractic care is not an evidence-based treatment for rashes. At most, chiropractic may be relevant for musculoskeletal complaints, not primary treatment of cutaneous inflammatory or allergic disease. For rashes such as eczema, dermatitis, urticaria, drug eruptions, and infectious exanthems, evidence-based care comes from diagnosis of the underlying cause and standard medical therapy; chiropractic is not part of routine guideline-based management. Often searched as Dr Hunter Overley.

Manipulation
transcript · cited
The subject uses the title 'Dr.' to imply broad medical authority (MD/DO) while holding a narrower chiropractic license (DC), which is legally restricted to musculoskeletal care. Likely motive: To attract patients seeking general medical diagnosis and treatment for systemic conditions like hormones and digestion.
“Dr. Hunter Overley”
Commerce & grift map
The pattern follows a classic 'scare-to-sale' funnel: patient anxiety about 'root causes' and systemic symptoms (hormones, digestion) is leveraged to sell expensive lab panels. The abnormal lab results are then used to justify a proprietary supplement stack and ongoing coaching consults. The lack of disclosure obscures the financial kickbacks from labs and supplements, making the advice appear purely medical rather than commercial.

Credentials & scope
Glossary: Chiropractor (“Dr.”)
Learn: Is a chiropractor a medical doctor?
Stated: DR · Likely: Chiropractor
Hunter Overley holds a Chiropractic license (Chiropractor) but advertises 'Functional Medicine' and treats systemic conditions like hormone imbalance and digestive issues, which are outside the standard scope of chiropractic practice.
- DC, Doctor of Chiropractic
A state-regulated professional license granting the title 'Doctor' but restricted to musculoskeletal/spinal care.
State chiropractic boards typically prohibit diagnosing or treating systemic diseases (e.g., hormone imbalances, diabetes, autoimmune conditions) or prescribing medications. Functional medicine protocols for these conditions are considered out-of-scope.
“Hunter Overley is a licensed Chiropractic Physician and Applied Kinesiologist in the state of Missouri.”
Missouri Board of Chiropractic Examiners
Subject appears to be a chiropractor. Practice state could not be reliably detected, using general chiropractic board standards. Against the practice state (not clearly identified) rules via state chiropractic licensing board: 1 potential out-of-scope practice concern(s) and 2 disclosure concern(s).
Missouri chiropractic scope is limited to the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions via spinal adjustment. It does not include general internal medicine, diagnosis of systemic diseases (e.g., hormones, diabetes), or prescription pharmacology. Advertising must clearly identify the provider as a chiropractor (DC).
