Score breakdown

20/100
Credentials
ND is a real credential but the scope is narrow; the score drops to 45 because the ND claims to diagnose and treat serious psychiatric and systemic diseases (ADD/ADHD, depression, autoimmune) via non-standard labs, which is credential inflation.
88/100
Manipulation
88 due to fear-mongering (gut = autoimmune/diabetes), false authority (urine neurotransmitters for ADD/ADHD), and false dichotomy (conventional medicine = useless). The lack of a disclaimer while dispensing concrete medical advice is a major manipulation tactic.
92/100
Sales funnel
92 because the ND sells a high-margin lab bundle (neurotransmitters, stool, OAT) and a proprietary supplement stack (ABx Support, Adrenal Support) directly on their site, with no disclosure of the financial incentive.
90/100
Grift map
2 store links with no FTC-style disclosure.
40/100
Evidence gap
2 of 5 literature-checked claims unsupported.
85/100
Bro energy
85 as the ND uses a classic 'grifter' playbook: fear-based content -> expensive labs -> proprietary supplements -> cash-only clinic, all while hiding behind a narrow naturopathic license to claim broad medical authority.

Direct answer

Josselson is licensed in New Jersey as a naturopath (ND), not as an MD or DO, and New Jersey's scope-of-practice statute (S2735 §2(b), §3(c)) limits that license to the specialty that license certifies, not general medical care. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Thyroid Support, Depression, Behavioral problems (including ADD/ADHD), PMS and hormonal imbalance, and Blood Sugar Support, conditions that belong with endocrinologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that Josselson profits from.

Key findings

  • False Authority: A naturopath (ND) claims to diagnose and treat complex psychiatric and neurological conditions (ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety) via urine neurotransmitter testing, a practice outside standard naturopathic scope and unsupported by mainstream evidence for diagnosis.see section ↓
  • Claim "Neurotransmitter Testing can diagnose depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and behavio…": not supported by peer-reviewed evidence.see section ↓
  • Claim "Comprehensive Stool Analysis can diagnose IBS, IBD, immune disorders, diabetes, cardiovas…": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
  • Josselson shows credential inflation relative to stated vs likely credentials.see section ↓
  • Dr Josselson is marketed with a doctor title, but reviewed credentials indicate Naturopath (ND) rather than an MD/DO physician license.see section ↓
  • Against New Jersey Board of Naturopathic Medicine scope rules (S2735 §2(b), §3(c)), these advertised activities appear outside Josselson's license (including conditions they merely list as ones they treat): Neurotransmitter Testing can diagnose depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and…see section ↓
  • 24 of 24 advertised activities fall outside permitted Naturopathic Doctor scope in NJ.see section ↓

Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Oh, Melissa Josselson, ND, the 'Neurotransmitter Nonsense' queen, is here to tell you that your urine can diagnose ADD/ADHD and depression! With her 'Comprehensive Stool Analysis' that magically links gut bugs to diabetes and autoimmune disease, she's the ultimate 'root cause' detective for every chronic ailment. Her cash-only clinic and proprietary supplement stack (ABx Support, Adrenal Support) are the only way to 'balance' your neurotransmitters and 'cure' your fatigue. Don't worry about insurance not covering it; she'll just tell you it's 'worth every penny' to feel young again with her DNA-based 'only' diet plan!

Hi, A reader of Dr. Trust Me Bro thought you might know something firsthand about Josselson and the public claims we documented here: https://drtrustmebro.com/influencer/JsKPMYNeQQeHufRABtEH8#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 Josselson: - 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 Josselson is treating out of scope - Any scheme to squeeze a few more dollars out of grandma We are especially interested in how Josselson 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.
