moving supplement units at Overland Park’s Functional Medicine Clinic

Practice location

Overland Park, KS 66204

Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.

  • Of 44 health claims, 7 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence, and 37 were not independently checked.
  • Primary persuasion tactic: Cancer as a systems problem to be managed by the clinic.
  • 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.

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.
82/100
Manipulation
The page stacks root-cause certainty, serious-disease fear, and repeated ‘advanced’ testing/protocol language without a disclaimer shield, a tidy persuasion package designed to sound scientific while staying slippery.
91/100
Sales funnel
Cancer, autoimmune disease, Lyme, thyroid, fatigue, and chronic illness are all routed into advanced labs, retesting, personalized protocols, supplements, and IV-style therapies — a high-dollar diagnostic-to-product pipeline.
100/100
Grift map
The map is simple: vague symptoms and scary disease labels -> functional lab interpretation -> personalized protocol -> supplements, IVs, ozone, peptides, and repeated retesting. The page’s authority comes from sounding deeper than standard care while quietly converting diagnostic uncertainty into ongoing revenue.
0/100
Evidence gap
Mainstream medicine does not support the page’s implication that a functional-medicine clinic can reliably identify the ‘root cause’ of cancer, autoimmune disease, Lyme, CIRS, thyroid disorders, or chronic fatigue through proprietary lab interpretation and then reverse those conditions with supplements and regenerative add-ons.
78/100
Bro energy
Corey Priest is running the classic clinic-content funnel: authoritative tone, broad disease claims, and a lab-and-therapy menu that makes the brand look like medicine while behaving like a conversion machine.

Direct answer

Corey M. Priest is licensed in Kansas as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Kansas's chiropractic scope statute (K.S.A. §65-2871 (Kansas Healing Arts Act)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Cancer Support, Autoimmune Conditions, Leaky Gut & Digestive Disorders, Lyme Disease, and Mold Toxicity, conditions that belong with infectious-disease physicians, rheumatologists, and oncologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that Corey M. Priest profits from.

Key findings

  • Fear Mongering: The clinic presents cancer as one of the conditions it can address with its own protocols and testing, which can pull patients away from oncology-led care and toward a profit center built on fear and uncertainty.see section ↓
  • Claim "Cancer Support": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
  • Claim "Autoimmune conditions": mixed in the medical literature.see section ↓
  • NPI registry confirms Corey Priest as Chiropractor (DC) in Kansas (NPI 1518001098).see section ↓
  • Corey M. Priest shows credential inflation relative to stated vs likely credentials.see section ↓
  • Dr Corey M. Priest is marketed with a doctor title, but reviewed credentials indicate Chiropractor (DC) rather than an MD/DO physician license.see section ↓
  • Against Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) scope rules (K.S.A. §65-2871 (Kansas Healing Arts Act)), these advertised activities appear outside Corey M. Priest's license (including conditions they merely list as ones they treat): Cancer Support, Autoimmune Conditions, CIRS (Chronic…see section ↓

Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Corey Priest has built a very efficient little cathedral to the gospel of ‘root cause,’ where every mystery symptom apparently justifies a longer visit, a bigger lab panel, and a more personalized protocol. The page is less a clinic brochure than a conversion funnel with a stethoscope costume: serious disease labels go in, high-margin functional interventions come out.

Hi, A reader of Dr. Trust Me Bro thought you might know something firsthand about Corey M. Priest and the public claims we documented here: https://drtrustmebro.com/influencer/_FrDQl277A8SYiWclB5V-#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 Corey M. Priest: - 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 Corey M. Priest is treating out of scope - Any scheme to squeeze a few more dollars out of grandma We are especially interested in how Corey M. Priest 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.

FAQ

What does peer-reviewed research say about these claims?

Bro translation: Mainstream medical literature does not support the claim that functional lab panels can reliably uncover the ‘root cause’ of cancer, autoimmune disease, CIRS, Lyme disease, thyroid disorders, chronic fatigue, or cognitive decline in the way this page implies.

Read the full answer

Bro translation: Mainstream medical literature does not support the claim that functional lab panels can reliably uncover the ‘root cause’ of cancer, autoimmune disease, CIRS, Lyme disease, thyroid disorders, chronic fatigue, or cognitive decline in the way this page implies. Nor does evidence support the suggestion that supplement protocols, IV nutrition, ozone/oxygen therapies, peptides, exosomes, or red-light treatments can serve as general-purpose root-cause therapies for those serious conditions. The page repeatedly treats contested functional-medicine constructs as settled diagnostic categories and then markets them as treatment targets.

Are Corey M. Priest's credentials legitimate?

Corey Priest presents as ‘Dr.’ while marketing broad functional-medicine care for systemic illness, but the provided content does not identify a physician license.

Read the full answer

Corey Priest presents as ‘Dr.’ while marketing broad functional-medicine care for systemic illness, but the provided content does not identify a physician license. The page repeatedly borrows doctor authority to promise root-cause diagnosis and treatment of internal diseases far beyond a narrow non-MD/DO scope if he is not a physician. Stated credentials: Chiropractor (DC). Likely credentials: Chiropractor (DC), DC. Credential inflation detected, a white coat is not the same as an MD/DO license.

Does Corey M. Priest use Fear Mongering?

The clinic presents cancer as one of the conditions it can address with its own protocols and testing, which can pull patients away from oncology-led care and toward a profit center built on fear and uncertainty.

The clinic presents cancer as one of the conditions it can address with its own protocols and testing, which can pull patients away from oncology-led care and toward a profit center built on fear and uncertainty. Likely motive: Convert a terrifying diagnosis into a clinic-generated treatment pipeline.

Does Corey M. Priest use Lab Test Upsell?

This frames extra testing as uniquely capable of finding the ‘real’ problem, which sets up repeat panels and follow-up visits even when standard evidence-based workups are the appropriate first step.

This frames extra testing as uniquely capable of finding the ‘real’ problem, which sets up repeat panels and follow-up visits even when standard evidence-based workups are the appropriate first step. Likely motive: Sell more labs by implying ordinary labs miss the truth.

Does Corey M. Priest use Proprietary Product Funnel?

The content links abnormal-looking functional labs to custom supplement protocols and in-clinic therapies, a classic funnel from worry to productized intervention.
