Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.
- Of 5 health claims, 5 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence.
- Primary persuasion tactic: The 'Doctor of Three' Title Stack.
- 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, look at Eric Nepute, the 'Doctor of Three' who's so busy stacking unverified titles he forgot to get an MD license! He's out here claiming to fix your brain, your gut, and your hormones with 'functional neurology' and 'peptide therapies'—all while selling you his own BioLimitless supplements to pay for the 'root-cause' he just diagnosed. Truly, the king of 'wellness freedom' who freedom from audits and medical oversight!

Direct answer
Eric Nepute is licensed in Missouri as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Missouri's chiropractic scope statute (RSMo § 331.010(1)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Functional Neurology, Internal Health, Peptide therapies, Root-cause solutions, and Internal Health for systemic disease, conditions that belong with appropriately board-certified physicians. Those same pages route patients toward supplements and paid programs that Eric Nepute profits from.

Functional Neurology
- Supports
- High-quality evidence for chiropractic 'functional neurology' as a distinct therapeutic approach is extremely limited. The main scoping and systematic reviews of functional neurology in a chiropractic context report that there are almost no randomized controlled trials or higher-level studies specifically testing functional neurology protocols as used by chiropractors for neurological or functional disorders; most reports are case studies or uncontrolled series. These reviews conclude that while spinal manipulation can produce measurable changes in brain-related physiological parameters in some small trials, there is no robust evidence that these changes translate into clinically meaningful neurological outcomes. Evidence from broader chiropractic RCTs shows that standard chiropractic care can modestly improve pain and function in musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., cervical radiculopathy, subclinical spinal pain), and can modulate neurotrophic and inflammatory markers in the short term, but these are not studies of chiropractic functional neurology as branded and do not establish disease‑specific neurological benefits.[15] Existing neurologic treatment guidelines and general principles documents from major bodies (e.g., American Academy of Neurology) support using novel or unconventional therapies only when evidence is limited and after careful risk–benefit discussion, but they do not endorse chiropractic functional neurology as a standard treatment for neurological disorders.[11]
- Contradicts
- The key peer‑reviewed syntheses examining chiropractic functional neurology characterize it as lacking an adequate evidence base and likely pseudoscientific when promoted as a neurologic treatment system. These reviews emphasize that there are no randomized controlled trials demonstrating that chiropractic functional neurology improves clinical outcomes in patients with diagnosed neurological conditions, and that available work consists almost entirely of case reports and low‑quality evidence, which would be rated as very low certainty under GRADE criteria.[5][6] Broader systematic reviews on spinal manipulation and brain function report inconsistent physiological findings and explicitly state that it is premature to claim brain‑function or neurologic benefits from such interventions. Major neurologic guidelines and position statements instead recommend evidence‑based treatments (such as physiotherapy plus cognitive behavioral therapy for functional movement disorders, or stroke and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation) and do not list chiropractic functional neurology among recommended therapies, highlighting that current neurologic care standards rest on modalities with substantially stronger trial and guideline support.[18] Overall, the evidence base for chiropractic functional neurology is weak, indirect, and insufficient to substantiate influencer‑style claims of broad neurological efficacy.
- Mainstream view
- The mainstream medical and neurologic position is that chiropractic care has an established but limited role in managing certain musculoskeletal pain conditions, while chiropractic functional neurology—as a separate branded system claiming to diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological and functional disorders via complex sensory, vestibular, and manipulation‑based protocols—does not currently have robust supporting evidence and is not incorporated into major neurology or rehabilitation guidelines. High‑quality care for neurological and functional disorders focuses on interventions backed by randomized trials and systematic reviews (for example, multidisciplinary physiotherapy plus cognitive behavioral therapy for functional movement disorders, structured stroke and TBI rehabilitation, and pharmacologic or neuromodulation therapies with demonstrated benefits), and novel or unconventional approaches are considered only cautiously, with explicit acknowledgement of limited evidence.[18][11] Within this framework, chiropractic functional neurology is generally regarded as experimental or unproven rather than an evidence‑based standard of care.
“Doctor of Functional Neurology”

Eric Nepute is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure Internal Health.
Internal Health
- Supports
- High-quality evidence directly supporting broad claims that chiropractic treatment improves internal or systemic (visceral) health is very limited. Systematic reviews of chiropractic care for nonmusculoskeletal conditions (e. [14][15] g. , asthma, infantile colic, otitis media, dysmenorrhea, hypertension) generally find only small numbers of randomized trials and mostly weak or inconsistent benefits, sometimes limited to symptom relief rather than objective organ function. These reviews sometimes note modest improvements in conditions like asthma or infantile colic when the entire clinical encounter (manual therapy plus education, reassurance, etc. ) is considered, but this is not strong evidence that spinal manipulation itself alters internal organ health. There is somewhat more evidence that manual therapies targeting visceral structures (often in osteopathy or physiotherapy rather than chiropractic) can contribute to short‑term improvements in specific symptoms such as gastroesophageal reflux or chronic low back pain when combined with conventional care, but systematic reviews conclude that this evidence base is small and at high risk of bias. [13][16] Overall, high‑quality RCTs and systematic reviews provide, at best, limited and condition‑specific symptomatic benefits, not robust evidence that chiropractic treatment reliably improves internal organ health across disorders.
- Contradicts
- Several systematic reviews and major evidence syntheses specifically examining spinal manipulation or chiropractic for nonmusculoskeletal or visceral conditions conclude that the evidence is poor, inconsistent, or negative for most internal health outcomes. [13][14][15][16] Reviews of chiropractic manipulation for non‑spinal pain and nonmusculoskeletal conditions (fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, infantile colic, otitis media, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, asthma, hypertension, migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, and others) report that available RCTs do not demonstrate convincing efficacy and that claims of benefit are not supported by rigorous clinical trial data. More recent appraisals of visceral/craniosacral/osteopathic techniques note that controlled trials often show negligible or ambiguous effects on both musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal conditions, with no clear improvement in internal organ diseases or systemic biomarkers beyond placebo or usual care. Major critical analyses emphasize that extrapolating broad claims of chiropractic benefits for internal health from a small number of heterogeneous, low‑quality studies constitutes overreach: any observed effects are typically small, condition‑specific, and often limited to subjective symptom scores, not hard clinical endpoints such as disease progression, organ function tests, or mortality. Taken together, the best available evidence contradicts sweeping influencer‑style claims that chiropractic treatment generally “fixes” internal organs or systemic diseases and instead shows, at most, narrow, uncertain benefits in selected conditions.
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medical and scientific consensus is that chiropractic care has an established role for some musculoskeletal problems (especially certain types of low back and neck pain) but does not have robust, high‑quality evidence supporting its use as a primary treatment to improve internal organ health or to treat systemic diseases. [14][15] For internal or visceral conditions (cardiovascular disease, endocrine and metabolic disorders, liver disease, asthma, gastrointestinal diseases, gynecologic disorders, etc. [13][16] ), standard of care remains evidence‑based pharmacologic, surgical, and lifestyle interventions grounded in large randomized trials and guideline recommendations. Chiropractic or other manual therapies are generally regarded, at most, as adjunctive options for musculoskeletal symptoms that may coexist with internal disease, not as treatments that directly modify internal organ function or disease mechanisms. Major guidelines in internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and gynecology do not recommend chiropractic spinal manipulation as a disease‑modifying therapy for internal organ conditions. Where manual therapies are mentioned, they are typically framed in terms of pain management, mobility, or patient comfort, rather than systemic or visceral health. The mainstream position is therefore that claims of chiropractic treatment of “internal health” are largely unsupported by rigorous evidence and should not replace or delay conventional diagnosis and management of internal diseases.
“Fellowship in Internal Health”

Eric Nepute is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure Peptide therapies.
Peptide therapies
- Supports
- There is no high-quality evidence directly evaluating chiropractors administering or "treating" with peptide therapies, and the indexed papers you provided do not address peptide therapy in chiropractic practice at all. [17][19][20] Peer‑reviewed literature does support therapeutic use of specific peptide drugs (for example GLP‑1 receptor agonists for diabetes and obesity, and experimental microglia‑targeted peptides for neonatal hypoxic‑ischemic encephalopathy), but these are studied within mainstream medical and research contexts, not within chiropractic care. [18] This means any claim that peptide therapies are an evidence‑based, established modality specifically of chiropractic treatment is not supported by high‑quality trials, systematic reviews, or guidelines.
- Contradicts
- The absence of RCTs, systematic reviews, or major guidelines on peptide therapy delivered by chiropractors, combined with the fact that most therapeutic peptides are regulated as prescription drugs and evaluated within medical rather than chiropractic frameworks, contradicts any implication that this is a well‑validated, standard chiropractic treatment. [18][19] Existing chiropractic research focuses on manual spinal manipulative therapy, musculoskeletal care, and related outcomes, not on the prescribing or administration of peptide pharmaceuticals, further indicating a weak or absent evidence base for chiropractors using peptide therapies as a core treatment. [17][20] Where chiropractors participate in integrative clinics, peptide therapy (when used) is typically under medical prescriber oversight, underscoring that this practice lies outside traditional chiropractic scope rather than being an independently evidence‑based chiropractic intervention.
- Mainstream view
- The mainstream medical and scientific view is that peptide therapies are promising but highly specific pharmacologic or biologic treatments that require rigorous clinical trial evidence, regulatory approval, and appropriate prescriber oversight, and are not established as part of standard chiropractic care. Major evidence and guidelines for peptide drugs (such as GLP‑1 receptor agonists) sit within endocrinology, metabolic medicine, oncology, and neurology, and do not identify chiropractors as typical prescribers or proceduralists for these agents. [17][19] Within mainstream chiropractic scholarship and position papers, the profession’s evidence‑based role is framed around spinal manual therapy and musculoskeletal management, not drug‑based peptide therapies, so any use of peptides in chiropractic settings is generally viewed as experimental or ancillary and should rely on medical oversight and informed consent rather than being presented as routine chiropractic treatment.

Rule: RSMo § 331.010(1)
Eric Nepute is not licensed or approved by Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners to diagnose, treat, or cure Root-cause solutions.
Root-cause solutions
- Supports
- High-quality evidence supports limited, condition-specific benefits of chiropractic care (primarily spinal manipulation/manual therapy) for musculoskeletal problems such as non-specific low back pain, but not broad “root-cause” solutions across health conditions. Clinical practice guidelines and systematic reviews for low back pain recommend spinal manipulation/manual therapy as one option within a multimodal conservative package (education, exercise, NSAIDs, cognitive/behavioral interventions) for non-specific low back pain.[10][16][5] These sources indicate spinal manipulation can be similarly effective to other conservative therapies (e.g., exercise) for short-term pain and disability reduction in spine pain.[10] Guidelines developed for chiropractic care in low back pain state that chiropractors are appropriate providers to diagnose and manage low back pain disorders and incorporate spinal manipulation as part of evidence-based care.[7][12][13]
- Contradicts
- The influencer-style claim that chiropractic provides “root-cause solutions” for general health or most diseases is not supported by high-quality evidence. The epidemiological examination of the chiropractic subluxation construct found no evidence that subluxation is causally associated with any disease process or suboptimal health, and concluded the subluxation construct lacks valid clinical applicability as a general cause of disease.[15] This directly contradicts the idea that chiropractic adjustments correct a root cause of systemic illness.[15] Major clinical practice guidelines for non-specific low back pain emphasise multimodal care (education, exercise, behavioral interventions, pharmacologic options) and do not present chiropractic or spinal manipulation as uniquely addressing underlying causes; instead, they treat it as one of several comparable symptom-focused conservative options.[16][5][9][20] Evidence for chiropractic/manual therapy outside musculoskeletal indications is sparse or of low quality, and no high-quality systematic reviews or RCTs demonstrate that chiropractic care broadly addresses root causes of diverse medical conditions. Overall, the claim of general “root-cause solutions” exceeds the evidence base.
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medical and scientific opinion is that chiropractic care, particularly spinal manipulation, can be an evidence-based option for certain musculoskeletal conditions (notably non-specific low back pain), where it offers modest short-term improvements in pain and function comparable to other conservative treatments.[10][16][5] For these indications, guidelines often include spinal manipulation/manual therapy within a broader multimodal plan and support chiropractors as providers for diagnosis and management of spine-related pain.[7][12][13] However, mainstream medicine does not accept the chiropractic subluxation concept as a proven root cause of disease; epidemiologic assessment shows no causal link between subluxation and disease processes.[15] Consequently, the mainstream view is that chiropractic is a limited, condition-specific intervention for musculoskeletal complaints rather than a general root-cause solution for systemic health problems or diverse diseases.[15][9][20]

Natural medicine
- Supports
- High-quality evidence does not support a broad claim that chiropractic treatment constitutes effective “natural medicine” for a wide range of conditions, but there is some evidence that specific chiropractic/manual therapies can help certain musculoskeletal pain conditions, which are often marketed as natural or non-pharmacologic care. Systematic reviews and randomized trials show that for non-specific low back pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation is about as effective as standard physical therapy, exercise therapy, or usual medical care, with similar pain and functional outcomes and no clear long‑term superiority; this supports a restricted claim that chiropractic is one acceptable conservative option for spine-related musculoskeletal pain.[20] Economic evaluations of manual therapy, including chiropractic manipulation, suggest that for neck and low-back pain these approaches can be cost‑effective compared with general practitioner care or physiotherapy, indicating they may be reasonable non‑pharmacologic choices in those contexts.[16][20] Observational and economic data summarized in recent systematic work indicate that patients with spine-related musculoskeletal pain who initially consult chiropractors often have lower downstream use of opioids, surgeries, hospitalizations, emergency visits, and injections, with lower overall costs compared with purely medical management, which indirectly supports a role for chiropractic as a natural, non‑drug component of multimodal care for spine pain.[19] Safety reviews of chiropractic spinal manipulation report that serious adverse events such as stroke are very rare (on the order of 0.05 to 1.46 per 10,000,000 manipulations) and that most adverse effects are mild and self‑limited, supporting the position that, when appropriately delivered, chiropractic manipulation is generally safe as a non‑pharmacologic musculoskeletal intervention despite the existence of rare but serious complications.[4][5][12][20]
- Contradicts
- The indexed trials provided (miconazole resistance in infants, nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer, metformin for autophagy/anti‑aging, swaddle bathing safety, remote upper GI capsule endoscopy under 5G, thyroid surgery nerve injury risk factors, ELDOA for text neck, and camlipixant pharmacokinetics) are unrelated to chiropractic or natural medicine and do not provide evidence supporting chiropractic as a natural medical treatment for any indication. High‑quality systematic reviews and randomized trials do not show strong or consistent benefits of chiropractic manipulation beyond other conservative treatments for common conditions like low back pain; evidence is moderate that chiropractic is roughly equivalent to other non‑pharmacologic options, rather than uniquely effective or superior as a natural therapy.[7][11][20] Systematic reviews of adverse effects of spinal manipulation document that cervical manipulation can be associated with vertebral artery dissection and stroke, and that serious neurologic complications, though rare, do occur; this directly contradicts any implication that chiropractic “natural medicine” is risk‑free or inherently safer than conventional care.[5][3][13] Updated meta‑analytic evidence for spinal manipulation in migraine shows no meaningful benefit over placebo, drug therapy, or usual care, with increased risk of adverse events, indicating that chiropractic-type spinal manipulation is not an evidence‑based natural treatment for migraine and may pose additional risk.[23] Reviews of pregnancy and postpartum low back or pelvic girdle pain describe the evidence for chiropractic and spinal manipulative therapies as inconclusive, unclear, or of moderate but uncertain strength, contradicting strong claims that chiropractic natural medicine is established, effective care in these populations.[21][22] Overall, mainstream reviews emphasize methodological limitations, small sample sizes, risk of bias, and heterogeneity in chiropractic studies, highlighting that the evidence base is inadequate to support broad therapeutic claims across diverse conditions; this makes any general claim that chiropractor treatment as natural medicine is effective for health in general weak or unsupported.
- Mainstream view
- The mainstream medical and scientific position is that chiropractic care is one form of manual therapy within complementary and alternative medicine, primarily indicated for musculoskeletal complaints such as non‑specific low back and neck pain, and is not considered a comprehensive “natural medicine” capable of treating systemic diseases. Evidence-based guidelines and systematic reviews generally view chiropractic spinal manipulation as a reasonable option for some patients with spine-related musculoskeletal pain, offering pain relief and functional improvement similar to other conservative therapies (physical therapy, exercise, usual medical care), but not clearly superior to them.[11][20] For non-spine conditions (e.g., migraine, visceral or systemic diseases), high-quality evidence either shows no proven benefit or remains insufficient, and major guidelines typically do not recommend chiropractic manipulation

Eric Nepute holds a legitimate Chiropractic license (Chiropractor) but inflates his credentials by adding unverified 'Doctor' titles (Functional Medicine, Functional Neurology, Natural Medicine) to imply he is a general physician capable of treating systemic diseases, which is outside his licensed scope.
- DC, Doctor of Chiropractic
A state-licensed degree focused on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions. Scope is limited to the spine, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system.
Chiropractic boards typically allow diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal/spine conditions only. They do NOT allow diagnosis or treatment of systemic internal diseases (cancer, diabetes, autoimmune, hormonal imbalances), prescribing pharmaceuticals, or managing peptide therapies.
Permitted scope vs advertised
Missouri State Board of Chiropractic Examiners · Confidence: high
Missouri defines chiropractic as examination, diagnosis, adjustment, manipulation, and treatment of malpositioned articulations and structures, directed toward restoring and maintaining normal neuromuscular and musculoskeletal function and health. Chiropractors may use methods commonly taught in board-approved chiropractic colleges and advise on hygiene, nutrition, and sanitary measures, but may not administer or prescribe drugs or medicine or practice medicine.

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.
