Bottom line

Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.

  • Of 48 health claims, 25 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence, and 19 were not independently checked.
  • Primary persuasion tactic: Narrow license, broad disease portfolio.
  • Stated credentials look inflated relative to the advice given.
  • Profits from the products and labs they recommend, with no clear disclosure.
  • Gives advice beyond what their license covers.

Automatic 100s across the board: this Doc Bro pays followers a commission to refer people, your grandma included, for blood draws and supplement hauls. When the patient pipeline has a compensation plan, the grift debate is over.

Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Theresa Thompson, DC steps onto the chronic-illness stage with a root-cause decoder ring, a custom protocol, and enough systemic disease categories to make a general practitioner blush. The audience gets the promise of hidden answers; the practice gets a booking funnel, lab pathways, and a storefront waiting at the end of the maze.

Direct answer

Theresa Thompson, DC is licensed in Missouri as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Missouri's chiropractic scope statute (Missouri Revised Statutes Section 331.010(1)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they market "root-cause" treatment for Immune and autoimmune conditions, Parasites 101, Immune & Autoimmune, insulin resistance, and SIBO/SIFO, conditions that belong with rheumatologists and gastroenterologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that Theresa Thompson, DC profits from.

Claims & evidence

In their own published words, they present themselves as qualified to treat, or give advice on, 31 conditions or treatments. A chiropractic license covers the spine, joints and muscles, and the scope review placed each one outside it. Each box leads with state-board scope notation; literature cross-check follows when we matched a specific claim. Every card carries its receipts: the quoted wording, a live source link, and an archived copy.

Outside scope

Theresa Thompson, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure Dr. Theresa Thompson, DC claims to address or help with hypothyroid, autoimmune conditions, Type II diabetes, hormone imbalances, digestive disorders, chronic mental-health disorders, insomnia, brain fog, and weight-loss resistance..

Dr. Theresa Thompson, DC claims to address or help with hypothyroid, autoimmune conditions, Type II diabetes, hormone imbalances, digestive disorders, chronic mental-health disorders, insomnia, brain fog, and weight-loss resistance.

Supports
The cited papers provide no direct high-quality evidence that chiropractic care by a DC treats or meaningfully improves the broad set of conditions listed. A systematic review found no evidence that chiropractic treatment prevents or treats disease in general. Evidence for chiropractic treatment of gastrointestinal disorders was absent or methodologically inadequate, with only two flawed trials identified. A review of chiropractic and insomnia found minimal clinical-trial evidence supporting benefit. The listed paper on teacher-delivered mental-health interventions concerns adolescents and does not establish that chiropractic care treats chronic mental-health disorders.
Contradicts
For hypothyroidism, major guidelines recommend biochemical evaluation and levothyroxine as standard or first-line treatment, not chiropractic care. For type II diabetes, autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, brain fog, and weight-loss resistance, the listed papers do not provide direct evidence that chiropractic treatment addresses these conditions. The autoimmune oral-lichen-planus review concerns associations with autoimmune disorders, not chiropractic treatment. The diabetes-Parkinson's meta-analysis concerns disease association, not diabetes treatment by chiropractic care. The cannabinoid mental-health review evaluates cannabinoids, not chiropractic care. Broad claims covering multiple unrelated endocrine, autoimmune, metabolic, gastrointestinal, psychiatric, sleep, cognitive, and weight outcomes are therefore unsupported by the cited literature.
Mainstream view
A chiropractor may provide adjunctive care for some musculoskeletal complaints, but there is no established evidence-based role for chiropractic treatment as a therapy for hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease, type II diabetes, nonspecific hormone imbalance, digestive disorders, chronic mental-health disorders, insomnia, brain fog, or weight-loss resistance. These conditions require appropriate medical assessment and condition-specific management; relying on chiropractic care in place of proven treatment could delay diagnosis or effective therapy.

Outside scope

Theresa Thompson, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure The practice markets itself as identifying foundational root causes of chronic symptoms and treating infections, toxins, deficiencies, immune and autoimmune problems, neurological symptoms, gut disorders, hormonal and metabolic problems, and children's chronic illness..

The practice markets itself as identifying foundational root causes of chronic symptoms and treating infections, toxins, deficiencies, immune and autoimmune problems, neurological symptoms, gut disorders, hormonal and metabolic problems, and children's chronic illness.

Supports
The statement accurately describes a broad marketing scope if it is reporting what the practice claims to do, rather than asserting that those claims are clinically valid. Functional-medicine publications describe an individualized model intended for complex chronic illness, and one retrospective cohort study reported improvements in health-related quality of life and biometric outcomes, but this is not strong evidence that the model identifies root causes or treats the full range of conditions listed.
Contradicts
The listed papers do not provide direct, high-quality evidence that a single practice can reliably identify foundational causes across infections, toxins, deficiencies, immune or autoimmune disease, neurological symptoms, gastrointestinal disorders, hormonal or metabolic disease, and childhood chronic illness. The neurological reference concerns associations between symptoms and psychological or behavioral problems, not validation of a broad diagnostic or treatment practice. The chronic-fatigue reference is a systematic review of elamipretide trials in mitochondrial disease and does not validate broad root-cause care. The medically unexplained symptoms guideline concerns management of chronic pain and fatigue, not proof that such symptoms have a single foundational cause or that a broad practice can treat them. A functional-medicine shared-appointment study was retrospective and cannot establish that the practice caused the reported improvements or that it treats infections, autoimmune disease, neurological disease, pediatric illness, or the other listed categories. The listed infection review addresses clinical manifestations of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, not diagnosis or treatment by the practice described.
Mainstream view
Mainstream medicine evaluates each symptom and suspected disease using validated history, examination, laboratory testing, imaging, and condition-specific guidelines, with referral to relevant specialists when needed. A broad claim to diagnose and treat many unrelated disease categories through foundational root-cause assessment is not established by high-quality direct evidence. Some lifestyle, nutritional, behavioral, and coordinated-care interventions may help selected patients or outcomes, but that does not substantiate the practice's full marketing scope or imply that infections, toxins, immune disease, autoimmune disease, neurological disorders, hormonal disorders, metabolic disease, and pediatric chronic illness share one routinely identifiable root cause.

Theresa Thompson, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure The practice claims ferritin is the key marker of iron reserves and that a ferritin of 18 is inadequate for thyroid function, oxygen transport, and hair growth despite being within some laboratory cutoffs..

The practice claims ferritin is the key marker of iron reserves and that a ferritin of 18 is inadequate for thyroid function, oxygen transport, and hair growth despite being within some laboratory cutoffs.

Supports
Ferritin is a clinically useful marker of iron stores, and low values generally indicate depleted or reduced iron stores; the WHO gives a strong recommendation for using ferritin to diagnose iron deficiency in otherwise healthy people. Ferritin below 15 micrograms/L is highly specific for absent iron stores, while values below 30 micrograms/L are commonly interpreted as low iron stores in adults. Iron is required for hemoglobin production and therefore oxygen transport, so iron deficiency that progresses to anemia can impair oxygen-carrying capacity. Iron deficiency has biologically plausible effects on thyroid hormone synthesis, but this does not establish that ferritin of 18 specifically causes impaired thyroid function or that a particular ferritin target is required for hair growth.
Contradicts
A ferritin of 18 is below commonly used clinical thresholds of 30 micrograms/L and may indicate iron deficiency even if a laboratory reference interval labels it normal; however, ferritin is not the sole determinant of iron status and should be interpreted with hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, inflammation, symptoms, and the clinical context. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis in pregnancy found no significant differences in TSH, free T4, or total T4 according to ferritin-defined iron deficiency and no significant association between ferritin and thyroid hormones; hemoglobin showed stronger relationships with thyroid function. The cited paper on iron homeostasis supports ferritin's role in iron storage biology but does not demonstrate that ferritin of 18 is inadequate for thyroid function, oxygen transport, and hair growth as a combined clinical claim. Evidence that treating an isolated ferritin of 18 reliably improves hair growth is limited and does not justify a universal ferritin threshold for hair growth.
Mainstream view
Ferritin is usually the best initial laboratory marker of body iron stores, but it is an acute-phase reactant and can be falsely elevated by inflammation, infection, liver disease, or other conditions. A ferritin of 18 micrograms/L is compatible with low iron stores and often warrants evaluation for iron deficiency, particularly when symptoms, anemia, blood loss, pregnancy, or low transferrin saturation are present, despite some laboratory cutoffs considering it within range. The mainstream view does not regard ferritin alone as a guaranteed key marker for thyroid function, oxygen transport, or hair growth, nor does it establish that every person with ferritin 18 has dysfunction in all three domains.

In their own wordsView sourceArchived copy

“A ferritin of 18 clears the cutoff for anemia but is nowhere near what your body needs to make thyroid hormone work, carry oxygen, and keep your hair growing.”

Theresa Thompson, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure The practice claims low stomach acid, H. pylori, gut inflammation, or slow blood loss can cause low iron and that CRP is needed to interpret ferritin..

The practice claims low stomach acid, H. pylori, gut inflammation, or slow blood loss can cause low iron and that CRP is needed to interpret ferritin.

Supports
H. pylori can contribute to iron deficiency through chronic gastritis, impaired iron absorption, hypochlorhydria, and sometimes gastrointestinal blood loss; systematic reviews and meta-analyses report an association with iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia. The listed H. pylori meta-analysis concerns the association of the dupA gene with clinical outcomes, not directly the complete claim about iron deficiency . Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant and may be falsely elevated during inflammation, so inflammatory markers can improve interpretation. WHO guidance recommends accounting for inflammation when interpreting ferritin and, in settings with substantial infection or inflammation, measuring CRP alongside ferritin. AGA guidance similarly identifies CRP and other iron tests as useful adjuncts when chronic inflammation makes ferritin less accurate.
Contradicts
The listed papers do not directly validate the claim as a whole: most address glucose, depression, lipids, back pain, H. pylori genetics or iron treatment rather than hypochlorhydria, gut inflammation, chronic blood loss, or CRP-guided ferritin interpretation. The H. pylori dupA meta-analysis does not establish that every H. pylori infection causes iron deficiency or that hypochlorhydria is a necessary mechanism . Low stomach acid alone is not a standard diagnosis of iron deficiency; causes require clinical evaluation, and chronic gastrointestinal blood loss is a possible cause rather than an assumption. CRP is useful when inflammation is suspected, but it is not universally required to interpret ferritin: low ferritin is generally specific for depleted iron stores, and guidelines also use transferrin saturation, hemoglobin, soluble transferrin receptor, clinical context and other testing.
Mainstream view
The claim is broadly plausible but overgeneralized. H. pylori gastritis, inflammatory gastrointestinal disease and chronic gastrointestinal blood loss are recognized potential contributors to iron deficiency, and hypochlorhydria may impair non-heme iron absorption. Ferritin is the preferred initial storage marker, but inflammation can elevate it and obscure iron deficiency; CRP may therefore be an appropriate adjunct when inflammation or infection is suspected. It is not mandatory in every patient, and these conditions should not be inferred without appropriate diagnostic evaluation.

Papers listed for this claim:[22][23][24][25]

In their own wordsView sourceArchived copy

“Low stomach acid, H. pylori, gut inflammation, or slow blood loss can quietly drain it. And inflammation drives ferritin up, so an inflamed person can look normal while being deficient, which is why iron has to be read alongside CRP.”

Search: (spinal manipulation OR chiropractic) AND (immune function OR autoimmune diseases)

Supports
Spinal manipulation may produce short-term changes in selected immune or neuroimmune biomarkers in some studies, but the clinical significance of these changes is unknown. A systematic review found preliminary laboratory evidence of biomarker changes, but no clinical evidence that spinal manipulation prevents infection or improves disease-specific outcomes. The listed studies do not directly evaluate chiropractic treatment for immune or autoimmune conditions; they concern glycemic monitoring, rheumatoid-arthritis exercise, cardiovascular interventions, medical education, heart failure, mHealth, clinician training, and neck-pain therapy.
Contradicts
A systematic review of 13 studies involving 795 participants found no clinical studies demonstrating efficacy or effectiveness of spinal manipulation for preventing infectious disease or improving disease-specific outcomes, and concluded that claims about immune effects are premature. A randomized placebo-controlled trial found no significant or clinically meaningful systemic neuroimmune differences after spinal mobilization or manipulation. A systematic review of acceptable- or high-quality randomized trials found no evidence that spinal manipulation treats several non-musculoskeletal disorders, undermining claims of broad systemic therapeutic effects. There is no credible direct evidence that chiropractic treatment treats autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and biomarker findings do not establish clinical benefit, disease modification, or replacement of standard autoimmune care.
Mainstream view
Chiropractic spinal manipulation may be used for selected musculoskeletal pain conditions, but it is not an evidence-based treatment for immune dysfunction, infections, or autoimmune diseases. Claims that chiropractic treatment boosts immunity or treats autoimmune conditions are unsupported by high-quality direct clinical evidence. Patients with autoimmune disease should receive diagnosis and disease-specific management from qualified medical professionals; chiropractic care, if used, should be adjunctive and must not replace effective treatment.

Theresa Thompson, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to advertise Dr. Theresa Thompson, DC claims that identifying and removing underlying causes allows mental and physiological health conditions to recover. as within their scope of practice.

Dr. Theresa Thompson, DC claims that identifying and removing underlying causes allows mental and physiological health conditions to recover.

Supports
Identifying and treating genuine contributors to symptoms is an accepted part of medical assessment; guidelines recommend assessing physical health, substance use, psychosocial factors, and coexisting conditions, and treating identified conditions. Evidence-based mental-health care can lead to improvement or recovery through appropriately selected psychological, pharmacological, social, and physical-health interventions. The listed papers provide indirect support only: teacher-delivered interventions can improve adolescent internalizing symptoms , and serious-game interventions may have benefits for some mental-health outcomes .
Contradicts
The claim is too broad and does not specify which conditions, underlying causes, diagnostic methods, or removal interventions are intended. No cited paper demonstrates that a general process of identifying and removing underlying causes enables mental and physiological health conditions to recover. Systematic reviews of mental-health prevalence and pandemic-related healthcare-worker symptoms describe burden rather than recovery from cause removal. Major guidelines recommend comprehensive assessment plus evidence-based treatment, not a universal underlying-cause-removal model; many mental and physiological conditions are multifactorial, chronic, relapsing, or lack a single removable cause. Removing a contributor may help in selected cases, but it does not reliably produce recovery or replace established care.
Mainstream view
The mainstream medical view is that clinicians should look for reversible medical, medication-related, substance-related, environmental, and psychosocial contributors while making a specific diagnosis and providing evidence-based treatment and follow-up. Correcting an identified cause can improve some conditions, but the generalized assertion that removing underlying causes allows mental and physiological health conditions to recover is unsupported as stated and risks oversimplifying complex disorders.

The practice claims its personalized plans can resolve the actual cause of chronic illness rather than merely manage symptoms.

Supports
Personalized medicine is intended to match treatment to individual disease mechanisms and may improve outcomes in selected conditions, but this is an aim rather than evidence that a particular practice resolves the cause of chronic illness. Personalized approaches have shown potential for improving selected clinical outcomes, such as blood pressure and dietary outcomes, although effects are generally modest and inconsistent. Patient-engagement and disease-management interventions can improve self-management, some biomarkers, and self-reported health status, which supports individualized management rather than demonstrated resolution of underlying disease.
Contradicts
The listed papers do not directly evaluate this practice, its personalized plans, or the outcome of resolving the actual cause of chronic illness. The hypertension review-related records concern nurse-led management interventions, not elimination of underlying causes, and therefore cannot substantiate the stronger claim. Evidence for personalized nutrition has not shown consistent improvements in health outcomes across randomized trials. Precision-medicine research generally evaluates treatment selection, risk-factor control, symptom reduction, disease markers, or progression—not proof that personalized plans resolve the underlying cause of heterogeneous chronic illnesses. A broad claim covering chronic illness is therefore unsupported without condition-specific diagnoses, interventions, validated outcomes, and comparative trials.
Mainstream view
Mainstream medicine recognizes personalized care as useful for tailoring evidence-based prevention and treatment to patient characteristics, preferences, comorbidities, and, in some diseases, biomarkers. It generally aims to control disease, reduce symptoms and complications, improve function, or induce remission where supported; many chronic conditions require ongoing management, and claims of identifying and resolving an actual underlying cause require condition-specific high-quality evidence. No general evidence supports the assertion that a practice's personalized plans can resolve the causes of chronic illness rather than merely manage symptoms.

The practice offers to assess what is driving a person's symptoms through a root-cause call.

Supports
A clinical consultation can appropriately take a symptom history, consider physical and psychosocial contributors, assess for serious disease, and develop a working explanation; this is consistent with recommended assessment of unexplained symptoms. However, the cited literature supports structured clinical evaluation, not a commercial “root-cause call” as a validated method for identifying the cause of an individual's symptoms. The Lancet Commission paper concerns multidisciplinary action to reduce sudden cardiac death and does not establish the effectiveness of root-cause calls.
Contradicts
There is no direct evidence in the listed papers that a root-cause call accurately determines what is driving a person's symptoms. Evidence-based evaluation generally requires an appropriate history, physical examination, review of prior investigations, targeted testing when indicated, and reassessment over time; a call alone may be insufficient, especially for red-flag or complex symptoms. Guidelines also caution that medically unexplained symptoms should be a working hypothesis only after relevant physical pathology has been adequately considered and should be reconsidered if symptoms change or alarm features appear. The remaining listed records concern sterile-product enforcement actions or sibutramine adulteration and provide no relevant support for symptom-cause assessment.

A practice may offer an initial consultation to explore symptoms and possible contributing factors, but identifying the cause of symptoms is a clinical diagnostic process rather than an established outcome of a branded “root-cause call.” Mainstream care emphasizes comprehensive history-taking, examination, appropriate investigations, diagnostic uncertainty, safety-netting, and follow-up. The claim describes an offered service, not a specific medical outcome, so its accuracy cannot be confirmed from the cited evidence; any implication that the call reliably finds the underlying cause would be unsupported.

The practice claims that a functional approach can raise the migraine threshold so previously triggering foods stop causing symptoms.

Supports
Some dietary interventions and individualized elimination diets may reduce migraine frequency or severity in selected patients. A systematic review found that the overall evidence for diet-based migraine prevention is limited and that small trials of elimination and other diets have reported possible reductions in attacks. One small randomized crossover trial reported fewer headache days and migraine attacks during an IgG-guided elimination diet.
Contradicts
The evidence does not establish that a functional approach raises a general migraine threshold or makes previously triggering foods safe to consume without symptoms. A randomized trial of IgG-guided elimination advice found no significant reduction in headache-like episodes at 12 weeks and no improvement in disability or daily-life impact. Reviews emphasize low-quality evidence, small samples, heterogeneous interventions, and the possibility that triggers are individualized rather than permanently eliminated. The listed papers do not directly test restoration of tolerance to previously triggering foods; the functional-connectivity paper is only a protocol and is not evidence for this dietary claim.
Mainstream view
Mainstream care recognizes that some people report reproducible food triggers and may benefit from a short, individualized, nutritionally adequate elimination-and-rechallenge strategy. Dietary patterns and selected interventions may reduce migraine burden, but evidence remains limited and does not support the claim that a functional approach reliably raises migraine threshold or permits unrestricted reintroduction of trigger foods. Avoidance should not replace established migraine management, and unnecessary broad restriction should be avoided.

Outside scope

Theresa Thompson, Chiropractor is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure The practice claims that opening windows and doors improves HRV, lowers resting heart rate, and lifts brain fog..

The practice claims that opening windows and doors improves HRV, lowers resting heart rate, and lifts brain fog.

Supports
Improving indoor ventilation or reducing indoor pollutants may modestly improve cognitive-test performance, although findings are inconsistent and this is not equivalent to treating subjective brain fog. A systematic review found that poor indoor environmental quality is often associated with reduced cognition, but effects vary substantially by exposure and cognitive domain. No listed paper directly evaluates opening windows or doors for HRV, resting heart rate, or brain fog. The listed paper on working-memory training concerns cognitive training, not ventilation or fresh air, and does not support this claim.
Contradicts
There is no high-quality direct evidence that simply opening windows and doors reliably increases HRV or lowers resting heart rate in healthy people. Evidence from ventilation studies is indirect, often small, and measures autonomic indices rather than a sustained reduction in resting heart rate; a small crossover study reported some HRV changes with controlled ventilation but cannot establish that ordinary window or door opening produces the claimed effects. Evidence regarding cognition is mixed: a critical review found inconsistent effects of CO2 and ventilation on cognitive function, with important confounding and exposure uncertainties. Indoor air quality can also worsen if opening windows admits outdoor pollution, allergens, heat, or noise. The listed rhinosinusitis chapter addresses sinus disease rather than the claimed cardiovascular or cognitive effects.
Mainstream view
Opening windows or doors can improve ventilation and may reduce indoor CO2 and pollutants when outdoor air is cleaner, potentially improving comfort or performance on some cognitive tasks. However, mainstream medical evidence does not recognize window or door opening as an established treatment for elevated HRV, reduced resting heart rate, or brain fog. Any benefit depends on baseline indoor air quality, outdoor conditions, underlying illness, and the meaning and cause of brain fog; persistent brain fog or abnormal heart-rate findings warrant clinical assessment.

Manipulation

Critical

False Authority

transcript · cited

A chiropractic credential is presented alongside claims involving endocrine, autoimmune, metabolic, digestive, and mental-health disease, which can make a narrow musculoskeletal license look like general medical authority. Likely motive: Borrow medical authority to sell broad chronic-illness programs.

“Dr. Thompson has helped hundreds of clients restore their health from conditions including chronic mind and mental health disorders, hypothyroid, autoimmune conditions, digestive disorders, hormone imbalances, Type II diabetes”

Critical

False Authority

transcript · cited

The practice promises to identify foundational causes across many conditions without showing diagnostic limitations, validated methods, or evidence that one clinic can reliably find a single root cause for heterogeneous symptoms. Likely motive: Position the clinic as uniquely capable and justify premium consultations.

“We'll be the first clinic to identify the foundational root causes of your chronic symptoms”

Critical

Fear Mongering

transcript · cited

The wording suggests ordinary clinicians overlooked concealed causes, encouraging fear of undiagnosed infection or toxicity without specifying validated diagnostic criteria. Likely motive: Create demand for specialized testing and root-cause services.

“Hidden infections your doctor probably never tested for”

Critical

Cherry-Picked Evidence

transcript · cited

Ferritin is useful but is affected by inflammation and must be interpreted with the clinical picture and other iron studies; presenting it as the decisive marker oversimplifies diagnosis and can encourage self-treatment. Likely motive: Make expanded lab interpretation and supplement protocols appear necessary.

“Ferritin is the marker that actually shows your reserves”

Critical

Lab Test Upsell

transcript · cited

This primes viewers to distrust normal testing and seek additional panels, including DUTCH testing, without explaining false positives, clinical utility, or limits. Likely motive: Increase demand for purchasable laboratory testing.

“You're tired of being told "Your labs are normal" when you know something is wrong.”

High

False Dichotomy

transcript · cited

This frames conventional medical care and the practice's approach as competing alternatives, despite serious diseases often requiring licensed medical diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Likely motive: Discourage competing care and capture the patient relationship.

“You don't need another doctor. You need a new approach.”

High

Sales Funnel Motive

transcript · cited

Vague symptom content is directly connected to a clinic assessment and personalized plan, creating a lead-generation funnel rather than a bounded educational discussion. Likely motive: Convert social engagement into paid consultations.

“DM me “GET STARTED” to learn how my clinic can help uncover what's really going on.”

High

Proprietary Product Funnel

transcript · cited

The consultation is bundled with products and store credit, linking clinical persuasion to supplement sales and creating a direct financial incentive. Likely motive: Move consultation buyers into recurring or margin-generating product purchases.

“Includes your custom plan, a foundation kit, and a $20 e-store credit.”

Borrowed authority & guest funnel

No guest interview is established in the supplied content. The practice nevertheless places its team page and broad root-cause claims beside its own booking funnel, routing visitors toward an assessment and personalized plan.

Commerce & grift map

The apparent funnel runs from fear of hidden causes and abnormal or supposedly incomplete testing to a root-cause call, personalized plan, foundation kit, and practice-store supplements. The practice-operated storefront creates direct product-margin incentives, while lab referral compensation or markups remain possible but unproven; no affiliate-recruitment program is shown.

Credentials & scope

Glossary: Chiropractor (“Dr.”)

Learn: Is a chiropractor a medical doctor?

Stated: none · Likely: Chiropractor

Theresa Thompson, Chiropractor is presented as a chiropractor with additional functional-medicine, muscle-testing, microcurrent-neurofeedback, and health-coach training. The site uses that narrow chiropractic credential while advertising help for systemic endocrine, autoimmune, metabolic, digestive, neurological, and mental-health conditions, which is credential inflation.

Permitted scope vs advertised

Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners · Confidence: high

Missouri chiropractors are licensed to practice the science and art of examination, diagnosis, adjustment, manipulation and treatment of malpositioned articulations and structures of the body, directed toward restoring and maintaining normal neuromuscular and musculoskeletal function and health. The practice explicitly excludes operative surgery, obstetrics, osteopathy, podiatry, prescribing drugs or medicine, and the practice of medicine. Chiropractors may advise on hygiene, nutrition, and sanitary measures, and may perform meridian therapy/acupressure/acupuncture with board certification.

What this license permits

  • Spinal adjustment and manipulation
  • Musculoskeletal evaluation and treatment
  • Soft-tissue and rehabilitative care
  • Headache care within musculoskeletal scope
