Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Todd Anderson, a chiropractor in Minnesota, systematically advertises 22 medical activities beyond his permitted scope, leveraging the 'Dr.' title to sell unproven functional medicine cures. His practice relies on fear-mongering tactics that delegitimize conventional lab results to upsell proprietary supplements and specialty testing via undisclosed Fullscript affiliate partnerships. Despite a disclaimer shielding out-of-scope advice, Anderson's model is driven by a financial conflict where commercial dispensary motives override educational integrity, leaving patients without clear disclosure of his financial incentives.

Credentials
The license is real; the lane it is driving in is not. Public scope records flag this doc bro practicing well past what that license actually authorizes.
91/100
Manipulation
The manipulation index is sky-high because she hides behind a buried 'educational' disclaimer while actively diagnosing diseases and prescribing protocols, and she uses fear-mongering ('conventional medicine misses everything') to sell non-standard labs.
92/100
Sales funnel
This is a textbook sales funnel: fear-based content leads to expensive functional labs (GI Map, Dutch) which justify a proprietary supplement stack via Fullscript, all with undisclosed financial kickbacks.

Anna Payne is a quintessential 'Doc Bro': she uses the 'Dr.' title to mask her lack of MD/DO authority, sells a 'root cause' narrative, and routes patients to her own cash-only, insurance-rejecting wellness grift.

Dossier synthesis

Todd Anderson: The Chiropractor Selling 'Cures' Beyond Minnesota's Scope

Todd Anderson, a chiropractor in Minnesota, systematically advertises 22 medical activities beyond his permitted scope, leveraging the 'Dr.' title to sell unproven functional medicine cures. His practice relies on fear-mongering tactics that delegitimize conventional lab results to upsell proprietary supplements and specialty testing via undisclosed Fullscript affiliate partnerships. Despite a disclaimer shielding out-of-scope advice, Anderson's model is driven by a financial conflict where commercial dispensary motives override educational integrity, leaving patients without clear disclosure of his financial incentives.

Cross-material patterns

  • Systematic advertising of medical activities outside permitted chiropractic scope in Minnesota
  • Consistent use of 'functional ranges' to delegitimize conventional 'normal' lab results
  • Recurring promotion of proprietary supplement and lab testing funnels via Fullscript
  • Reliance on unverified testimonials claiming rapid 'cures' from prescription medications
  • Non-disclosure of financial compensation and affiliate relationships on outbound commerce links

Recurring tactics

  • Fear Mongering: Claiming conventional medicine misses hidden patterns in inflammation and thyroid dysfunction
  • False Authority: Leveraging the 'Dr.' title for a non-physician to sell functional medicine advice
  • Testimonial Overload: Repeating '3 days' cure claims without clinical evidence
  • Cherry-Picked Evidence: Selecting specific lab anomalies to justify unnecessary specialty testing
  • Proprietary Product Funnel: Directing patients to Fullscript for 'professional-grade' supplements

Financial themes

  • Undisclosed affiliate compensation for Fullscript dispensary partnerships
  • Revenue generation from high-volume specialty lab testing (Dutch, GI Map, heavy metals)
  • Upselling comprehensive intake consultations as a gateway to lab and supplement sales
  • Financial conflict between educational content and commercial dispensary motives
  • Affiliate markup signals on outbound store links without FTC-style disclosure

Scope & disclosure

  • Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners: 22 of 22 advertised activities outside permitted scope
  • Governing Board Finding: Research-based financial remuneration model with significant disclosure gaps
  • Guest Funnel: Health claims made by interview guests attributed to the host without verification
  • Disclaimer Shield: Website disclaims medical advice to bypass scope-of-practice regulations
  • Non-Disclosure: No clear FTC-style material-connection disclosure near store links

Direct answer

Anna Payne is licensed in Minnesota as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Minnesota's chiropractic scope statute (Minn. Stat. §148.01, subds. 1, 2, 4; §148.01 ("The practice of chiropractic is not the practice of medicine")) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Digestive disease (IBS, Leaky Gut, SIBO), Thyroid Support, Hormone Balance, Autoimmunity, and Dutch hormone panel, conditions that belong with rheumatologists, endocrinologists, and gastroenterologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that Anna Payne profits from.

Key findings

  • False Authority: A chiropractor (DC) is licensed for musculoskeletal/spine care, not for diagnosing or treating systemic endocrine disorders like hormone imbalances, thyroid disease, or adrenal dysfunction. Using the 'Dr.' title to imply broad medical authority for these conditions is a false…see section ↓
  • Claim "Autoimmunity (Hashimoto's, psoriasis, lupus)": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
  • Claim "Hormone optimization (Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone)": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
  • NPI registry confirms Anna Payne as Chiropractor (DC) in Minnesota (NPI 1174456073).see section ↓
  • Anna Payne shows credential inflation relative to stated vs likely credentials.see section ↓
  • Dr Anna Payne is marketed with a doctor title, but reviewed credentials indicate Chiropractor (DC) rather than an MD/DO physician license.see section ↓
  • Against Minnesota Board of Chiropractic Examiners scope rules (Minn. Stat. §148.01, subds. 1, 2, 4; §148.01 ("The practice of chiropractic is not the practice of medicine")), these advertised activities appear outside Anna Payne's license (including conditions they merely list as ones they treat):…see section ↓

Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Oh, Anna Payne, the 'Dr.' who thinks a chiropractic license is a magic wand for fixing your hormones, your gut, and your autoimmune rage! She's the queen of the 'functional' grift, selling you expensive lab panels and Fullscript supplements while pretending conventional medicine is a scam. If you want to feel 'heard' and pay cash for a protocol that insurance won't cover, she's your girl—just don't ask her to actually treat your disease, because she's just 'educating' you while you buy her products.

Hi, A reader of Dr. Trust Me Bro thought you might know something firsthand about Anna Payne and the public claims we documented here: https://drtrustmebro.com/influencer/2OgY9Ecm8GhvoX1l-JBq1#report We are independent journalists that are focused on uncovering grift and manipulation perpetrated by medical practitioners that are operating outside their licensed scope. We want to hear from insiders: employees, former employees, accountants, billing staff, sales reps, IT staff, anyone who knows. Worth telling us about Anna Payne: - Medicaid or Medicare overbilling - Care plans structured to funnel someone's grandma toward an upsell for money. - Insight into the real reason they refuse insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, not the version they give the public - Upselling unnecessary tests and panels - Kickbacks for lab, vendor, or other referrals - Discussions or policy, written or otherwise, that steers patients away from physicians properly licensed for the care Anna Payne is treating out of scope - Any scheme to squeeze a few more dollars out of grandma We are especially interested in how Anna Payne handled payment and coverage: were people told to swipe an FSA or HSA card at checkout, handed a superbill or receipt to submit themselves, or told the service is not covered by insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid? Here is why that matters: https://drtrustmebro.com/patterns/fsa-hsa-loophole You can reach the confidential tip line here, on the record or anonymously: https://drtrustmebro.com/whistleblower You can also simply hit reply to this email and start the conversation here. You do not have to give your name. Add whatever context, dates, or links you are comfortable sharing, and leave out anything you are not. There is no pressure to respond, and you can ignore this message if it is not relevant to you. This message was sent by a reader through Dr. Trust Me Bro's website. Your address was entered by that reader, not collected by us, and is not added to any mailing list. Independent data journalism, serious citations.

We send this on your behalf from our tip line address. It links the public report and the confidential tip line, and never claims wrongdoing.

Firsthand details help most: how payment and coverage were handled (FSA/HSA card vs. a superbill to submit, declining Medicare/Medicaid). More on the FSA/HSA loophole.
