In this material, the subject presents themselves as qualified to treat, or gives advice on, these conditions. A published medical registry classes each one as an infant or child condition:
- ADHD Where this care belongs: A pediatrician, child psychiatrist or licensed psychologist. Find one in Minnesota
A chiropractic license in Minnesota covers the spine, joints and muscles. It does not cover diagnosing or treating these conditions.
Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.
- Of 29 health claims, 24 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence, and 5 were not independently checked.
- Primary persuasion tactic: Chiropractor Diagnosing Systemic Autoimmune Disease.
- 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.
Oh, Joshua Huffman, the 'Lyme Reset Profit' king of Minnesota Chiropractic Neurology! You're the guy who tells patients that conventional medicine is useless for Lyme disease and that your proprietary '4-Tiered Neuro-Immune Lyme Reset Protocol' is the only way to 'promote lasting recovery.' You're the master of fear-mongering about Lyme as 'The Great Imitator' and then funneling desperate patients into your high-cost 'Brain-Body RESET Intensive Programs.' You're the ultimate Doc Bro who uses a narrow chiropractic license to claim broad medical authority, selling unproven, non-standard care as 'worth every penny.'

Direct answer
The NPI registry lists them as Chiropractor (DC) in Minnesota, not an MD/DO physician. Dr. Trust Me Bro analyzed Joshua Ryan Huffman's claim that "Dr. Huffman’s 4-Tiered Neuro-Immune Lyme Reset Protocol offers a different type of support for patients suffering with chronic Lyme symptoms." using transcript and metadata cross-checked against academic sources. Peer-reviewed literature indicates the claim is mixed in the medical literature: High-quality evidence supports that some laboratory markers can reflect metabolic risk and inflammatory status, including fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipids, CRP, and selected adipokines or inflammatory ratios in defined disease contexts. [2][5][11][12] Systematic reviews also support that inflammation is associated with metabolic syndrome and related cardiometabolic disease, so laboratory testing can sometimes identify clinically relevant abnormalities rather than vague “wellness” states. [7][9][10] The claim is broad and overstates what laboratory testing can do, because the evidence supports specific markers in specific conditions, not a generic ability to identify undefined “metabolic imbalances” that are “robbing fuel” and “triggering inflammation throughout. ” Major guidance and review literature emphasize routine, targeted testing for established conditions and risk factors, while noting that many proposed biomarkers have limited specificity, heterogeneity, and uncertain clinical utility. [3] There is no strong guideline-level evidence that advanced lab panels can reliably diagnose a single systemic cause of nonspecific symptoms or meaningfully map a universal inflammation-fueled “metabolic imbalance” state across otherwise healthy people. [1] Several reviewed markers remain investigational or context-dependent, and observational associations do not prove that correcting them improves outcomes. Mainstream medicine recognizes that some metabolic and inflammatory lab abnormalities are real and clinically useful, but it does not endorse broad claims that advanced laboratory testing can generally identify hidden metabolic imbalances that are universally “robbing fuel” or causing body-wide inflammation. The standard view is to use targeted, evidence-based tests to evaluate specific symptoms, suspected diseases, or established risk states, because many proposed biomarkers are nonspecific and not validated for broad diagnostic screening. Often searched as Dr Joshua Ryan Huffman.

Manipulation
transcript · cited
The content frames Lyme disease as a mysterious, pervasive threat that standard medicine misses, creating fear and anxiety to drive patients toward the clinic's proprietary 'reset' protocol. Likely motive: To generate urgency and fear, making patients feel they must act immediately to avoid permanent damage.
“Often referred to as 'The Great Imitator,' Lyme disease can mimic other conditions, making it challenging to diagnose and treat effectively.”
transcript · cited
The content relies heavily on unverified testimonials claiming to cure or resolve serious conditions (infertility, Hashimoto's) without clinical evidence. This is a classic manipulation tactic to bypass scientific scrutiny. Likely motive: To create an emotional illusion of efficacy and trustworthiness, discouraging patients from seeking evidence-based medical advice.
“"He has helped so many members of my family with migraines, food sensitivities, fibromyalgia, gut issues to infertility!"”
transcript · cited
The content implies that conventional medicine is useless for Lyme disease and that the only alternative is this specific chiropractic protocol, ignoring the spectrum of evidence-based treatments. Likely motive: To isolate the patient from standard care options and funnel them exclusively into the clinic's high-cost intensive programs.
“Dr. Huffman’s approach offers several advantages over conventional Lyme treatments by addressing the full scope of the disease’s impact on the body”
transcript · cited
The promise of rapid relief in 7 days creates a false sense of urgency, pressuring patients to sign up for intensive programs immediately without considering the long-term nature of chronic conditions. Likely motive: To accelerate the sales cycle and secure high-paying commitments from desperate patients.
“With Our Brain-Body RESET Program Most Patients Can Get Relief in Just 7 Days.”
Commerce & grift map
The grift pattern involves scaring patients with the 'Great Imitator' narrative of Lyme disease, then offering a proprietary, high-cost 'RESET' intensive program that includes advanced lab testing and targeted supplements. The clinic bypasses insurance by framing its services as 'not covered' but 'worth every penny,' creating a cash-only funnel where patients pay for unproven, non-standard care.

Joshua Huffman holds a legitimate Chiropractor and a board certification in chiropractic neurology, but he inflates his authority by using these narrow credentials to claim competence in diagnosing and treating systemic diseases like Lyme disease, Hashimoto's, and infertility, which are outside the scope of chiropractic practice.
- DC, Doctor of Chiropractic
A state-licensed professional degree focused on the musculoskeletal system, specifically the spine and joints. It does not grant a license to practice general medicine or diagnose systemic infectious/autoimmune diseases.
Scope is limited to musculoskeletal/spine care. Diagnosing or treating Lyme disease, diabetes, or infertility is strictly outside this scope.
- DACNB, Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Neurology
A post-graduate certification in functional neurology for chiropractors. It expands on neurological assessment but remains within the chiropractic scope (musculoskeletal/neurological interface), not general internal medicine.
Even with this certification, a chiropractor cannot diagnose or treat systemic diseases like Lyme disease or autoimmune disorders. This is a credential inflation signal.
Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners
Dr. Joshua Huffman is likely violating Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners rules by practicing outside his scope (diagnosing/treating systemic diseases like Lyme disease, Hashimoto's, and infertility) and by using misleading advertising that implies general medical competence ('Functional Medicine Doctor') without an MD/DO license. This is a clear case of credential inflation and unauthorized practice.
The Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners limits chiropractic scope to the musculoskeletal system, specifically the spine and joints. Chiropractors are not licensed to diagnose or treat systemic diseases (e.g., Lyme disease, Hashimoto's, infertility, diabetes) or to prescribe/de-prescribe medications. They must clearly identify their licensure and avoid misleading advertising that implies general medical competence.

When the service is also outside their license
This pattern gets sharper when the service routed to your FSA or HSA also sits outside the practitioner's licensed scope. A provider advertising to diagnose or treat conditions their state board does not authorize is already operating past the edge of their license. Pair that with a cash-pay, FSA or HSA funded model that keeps the work away from any insurer or government program, and there is no claims reviewer, no audit trail, and no payer left to ask whether the care was appropriate or even within the provider's remit. The tax advantaged dollars do the paying, the patient carries the substantiation, and the scope question never reaches anyone with the authority to raise it.
