Score breakdown

0/100
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.
85/100
Manipulation
High manipulation due to the 'normal test results are a lie' fear tactic, the false dichotomy between conventional and 'root cause' care, and the unshielded claim of medical authority without a disclaimer.
87/100
Sales funnel
Extremely high: the practice explicitly links 'functional medicine' lab testing to a 'personalized care plan' with 'targeted supplements,' creating a closed loop of revenue from labs and in-office dispensing.
40/100
Grift map
The grift is: Scare content about 'normal' labs -> Sell expensive 'functional medicine' tests -> Push 'targeted' supplement stacks. The lack of disclosure on supplement brands and the scope violation are key red flags.
0/100
Evidence gap
Mainstream medical consensus does not support a chiropractor diagnosing and treating systemic diseases like thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions, or digestive issues; these are internal medicine functions, not chiropractic.
85/100
Bro energy
High: Julie uses the 'Functional Medicine' label to borrow medical authority, sells 'clinically researched' supplements without disclosure, and frames herself as the only solution for 'normal' test results.

Direct answer

Julie Gurbacki is licensed in Nebraska as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Nebraska's chiropractic scope statute (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 38-805(1)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Autoimmune conditions, Chronic fatigue and low energy, Anxiety, depression, and mood swings, Hormone and thyroid optimization, and Functional Medicine, conditions that belong with rheumatologists and endocrinologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that Julie Gurbacki profits from.

Key findings

  • False Authority: A chiropractor (DC) uses the term 'Functional Medicine' to imply broad medical authority, diagnosing and treating systemic diseases (thyroid, autoimmunity, gut issues) that are outside their licensed scope. This borrows the authority of a medical degree they do not hold.see section ↓
  • Claim "functional medicine": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
  • Claim "Hormonal imbalances (ex. thyroid, menstrual cycle irregularities, menopause, men's hormon…": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
  • NPI registry confirms Julie Gurbacki as Chiropractor (DC) in Nebraska (NPI 1811614621).see section ↓
  • Julie Gurbacki shows credential inflation relative to stated vs likely credentials.see section ↓
  • Dr Julie Gurbacki is marketed with a doctor title, but reviewed credentials indicate Chiropractor (DC) rather than an MD/DO physician license.see section ↓
  • Against Nebraska Board of Chiropractic scope rules (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 38-805(1)), these advertised activities appear outside Julie Gurbacki's license (including conditions they merely list as ones they treat): Hormonal imbalances (ex. thyroid, menstrual cycle irregularities, menopause, men's…see section ↓
  • 23 of 24 advertised activities fall outside permitted Chiropractor scope in NE.see section ↓
Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Julie Gurbacki, the 'Functional Medicine Chiro,' is the ultimate root-cause detective who knows that 'normal' labs are a lie and that your thyroid, gut, and hormones are all connected to your spine. She doesn't just adjust your back; she 'optimizes' your entire endocrine system with 'clinically researched' supplements and 'targeted' lab tests, because conventional doctors are too busy to find the real answers. Book her free consult and let her 'uncover how everything connects'—even if it's outside her license.

Hi, A reader of Dr. Trust Me Bro thought you might know something firsthand about Julie Gurbacki and the public claims we documented here: https://drtrustmebro.com/influencer/IFxt7G42Ph0RF_kt2BCtt#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 Julie Gurbacki: - 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 Julie Gurbacki is treating out of scope - Any scheme to squeeze a few more dollars out of grandma We are especially interested in how Julie Gurbacki 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.
