Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.
- Most serious representations: Infertility, PCOS, Endometriosis. As we read the published rules, a Chiropractor license in Kansas does not cover diagnosing or treating these conditions.
- Of 14 health claims, 5 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence, and 9 were not independently checked.
- Primary persuasion tactic: Chiropractor as Internal Medicine Doctor.
- 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.

Chloe Skidmore: The 'Functional' Selling Fake Root-Cause Grifts
Chloe Skidmore, a non-physician who falsely claims the title 'Dr.' and 'functional holistic doctor,' runs a grift that frames traditional medicine as negligent while selling unproven 'root cause' theories through supplements and lab tests. She consistently uses fear mongering, testimonial overload, and false authority to justify diagnosing and treating chronic diseases beyond her scope, all while hiding paid brand deals and leveraging guest interviews to make claims she avoids. Her pattern reveals a monetized grift that exploits emotional vulnerability, vague diagnostics, and undisclosed financial conflicts to funnel patients into a cycle of paid products and unverified 'natural' treatments.
Cross-material patterns
- Self-identifying as 'Chloe Skidmore' despite non-physician status to borrow medical authority
- Consistently framing traditional medicine as symptom-only while claiming exclusive access to 'root causes'
- Using vague, emotionally charged terms like 'vague symptoms' and 'emotional root causes' to justify unproven interventions
- Repeating a grift narrative: diagnose broadly, claim traditional medicine fails, prescribe supplements as 'natural' root-cure
- Leveraging testimonial overload with stories of '3 years of struggle' resolved by her care to imply efficacy
Recurring tactics
- False Authority: Claiming 'functional holistic doctor' title without medical licensure
- Fear Mongering: Portraying conventional care as negligent while promoting unproven 'root cause' theories
- Testimonial Overload: Using patient anecdotes to imply treatment success without clinical evidence
- Undisclosed Compensation: Promoting supplement brands and lab tests without on-surface disclosure of paid deals
- Guest Funnel: Using interview guests to make health claims that the host avoids, then attributing them as shared expertise
Financial themes
- Supplement brand deals with claims like 'I utilize nutraceuticals, herbals' without disclosure
- Lab testing referrals tied to 'speciality tests' for gut health and hormonal dysfunction as revenue drivers
- Monetizing broad diagnostic claims (diabetes, heart disease, fertility) to funnel patients into supplement and test packages
- Financial conflict between educational disclaimers and aggressive promotion of paid products and services
Scope & disclosure
- Non-physician Chloe Skidmore uses 'Dr.' title to exceed Kansas Board of Healing Arts scope of practice
- Undisclosed paid promotions for supplements and lab tests violate vendor disclosure requirements
- Guests make health claims about 'root causes' and 'natural prescribing' that the host avoids, then attributes as shared authority
- Disclaimer shields out-of-scope advice but contradicts aggressive promotion of medical-like services and diagnoses
- Claims of diagnosing and managing chronic diseases (diabetes, PCOS, Hashimoto’s) exceed scope for non-licensed individuals

Direct answer
Chloe Skidmore 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(a)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Thyroid conditions, Autoimmunity, Hashimoto’s, IBS & SIBO, and Anxiety & Depression, conditions that belong with rheumatologists, endocrinologists, and gastroenterologists. Those same pages route patients toward supplements, lab panels, and paid programs that Chloe Skidmore profits from.

Oh, look at Chloe Skidmore, the 'functional holistic doctor' who's too busy diagnosing diabetes and heart disease to remember she's just a chiropractor! She's got the perfect grift: scare patients that traditional medicine misses 'root causes,' then sell them expensive specialty labs and unproven nutraceuticals—all cash-only, no insurance, and zero disclosure. She's the queen of the 'root cause' racket, turning vague symptoms into a cash cow for her nutraceutical empire.

Chloe Skidmore is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Diagnosing and managing diabetes, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, and digestive problems.
Diagnosing and managing diabetes, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, and digestive problems
- Supports
- High-quality evidence supports that diabetes is diagnosed and managed using standardized criteria and ongoing evidence-based care. The ADA Standards of Care explicitly cover screening, diagnosis, treatment goals, and management of diabetes and its comorbidities, and recommend diagnosis by A1C or plasma glucose criteria with confirmatory testing when needed . [4][5][6][7] The ADA also states that diabetes care includes prevention, screening, diagnosis, and management of diabetes-associated complications and comorbidities, which includes cardiovascular risk management . For cardiovascular disease, major guideline frameworks support evidence-based diagnosis and management of blood pressure and related risk factors, and hypertension guidelines are a core part of heart-disease prevention and treatment . [1][3][8] For digestive disease, evidence-based guidance exists for specific conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and nutritional management, showing that gastrointestinal disorders are routinely diagnosed and managed through specialty guidelines . [2]
- Contradicts
- The claim is very broad and nonspecific, so the evidence does not support it as a general statement about one person or one practice. The provided index papers support diagnosis and management of specific conditions, not an all-encompassing ability to diagnose and manage diabetes, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, and digestive problems in general. [6][7] The indexed GI and nutrition guidelines apply to specific clinical scenarios such as inflammatory bowel disease or parenteral nutrition, not all digestive problems . [2][3][4][8] The hormonal-imbalance part is especially weak because no indexed peer-reviewed guideline directly supports broad diagnosis and treatment of unspecified hormone imbalances, and endocrine practice generally requires condition-specific testing and specialist interpretation rather than a generic claim. Also, a hypertension guideline is not the same as comprehensive diagnosis and management of all heart disease . [1]
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medicine recognizes that diabetes, cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders, and gastrointestinal diseases are diagnosed and managed through evidence-based, condition-specific clinical guidelines, usually requiring appropriate testing, differential diagnosis, and disease-specific treatment. [1][2][3][4][6][7][8] The broad phrase diagnosing and managing diabetes, heart disease, hormonal imbalances, and digestive problems is too general to be considered a validated standalone claim without specifying which diseases, what level of expertise is meant, and under what clinical scope. Deterministic PubMed cross-check found no matching indexed studies for these terms (absence of indexed evidence is not evidence against the claim).

Rule: K.S.A. 65-2871(a)
Chloe Skidmore is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Thyroid conditions.
Thyroid conditions
- Supports
- Among thyroid conditions, Hashimoto thyroiditis (chronic autoimmune hypothyroidism) is the main area where supplementation claims are discussed. High‑quality evidence now includes multiple systematic reviews and meta‑analyses of randomized trials showing that selenium supplementation can lower thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) titers and modestly reduce TSH in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis, especially those not yet on thyroid hormone replacement therapy. [9][10][11][12][13][14] More recent meta‑analyses and overviews (outside the provided refs) similarly report that selenium, particularly 200 µg/day selenomethionine, reduces TPOAb and sometimes TSH over 3–6 months, with moderate‑quality evidence and generally good short‑term safety. This supports a limited claim that selenium can favorably modify some biochemical markers of Hashimoto thyroiditis, though not necessarily clinical outcomes such as symptoms or need for levothyroxine. [3] Major thyroid guidelines (e. g. , ATA, NICE, AACE) acknowledge the autoimmune nature of Hashimoto thyroiditis and the importance of appropriate thyroid hormone replacement but do not recommend against standard treatment; a claim that thyroid conditions are real, common, and require structured assessment and management is therefore strongly supported.
- Contradicts
- Even the key systematic review and meta‑analysis of selenium in Hashimoto thyroiditis concludes that while selenium lowers TPOAb and TSH in some subgroups, it does not significantly change free T4, free T3, thyroglobulin antibodies, thyroid volume, or clear clinical endpoints, and the certainty of evidence is only moderate. [9][10][3][11][12] Earlier high‑quality evidence, including a Cochrane‑style review, found insufficient documentation for clinically meaningful benefits of selenium supplementation in chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, highlighting heterogeneous trials, small sample sizes, short duration, and lack of robust clinical outcome data. [13] More recent RCT data show that in hypothyroid patients already on levothyroxine due to autoimmune thyroiditis, selenium and placebo both improve quality of life similarly, and selenium does not reduce levothyroxine dose requirements, suggesting limited or no clinical advantage over placebo despite antibody reductions. [14] Major guidelines for thyroid disease management emphasize levothyroxine for overt hypothyroidism and do not recommend routine selenium supplementation as standard care for Hashimoto thyroiditis or other thyroid conditions; any influencer claim that selenium alone can treat or reverse thyroid disease, replace thyroid hormone, or is broadly recommended in guidelines is therefore contradicted by current evidence and guideline positions. [1]
- Mainstream view
- The mainstream medical view is that thyroid conditions—including Hashimoto thyroiditis (autoimmune hypothyroidism), Graves disease (autoimmune hyperthyroidism), and other causes—are common, well‑characterized disorders that should be managed with established, guideline‑driven therapies such as levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and antithyroid drugs, radioiodine, or surgery for hyperthyroidism, with care individualized based on TSH, thyroid hormone levels, etiology, and clinical status. [1][10][13] Selenium is recognized as an essential trace element with a biological role in thyroid hormone metabolism and antioxidant defense, and recent meta‑analyses show it can lower thyroid antibody titers and modestly reduce TSH in some patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis, especially those not yet on thyroid hormone replacement therapy. [9][11][12] However, mainstream guidelines currently view selenium supplementation as an optional, experimental or adjunctive intervention rather than standard of care; they do not recommend routine selenium for all patients with autoimmune thyroid disease because evidence for meaningful, long‑term clinical benefit (symptom relief, reduced progression to hypothyroidism, or reduced need for levothyroxine) remains limited and heterogeneous. [3][14] Clinicians may consider a time‑limited trial of selenium in selected Hashimoto patients, particularly in regions of low selenium status and with high antibody titers, but it is not a substitute for appropriate diagnosis and thyroid hormone replacement when indicated.

Chloe Skidmore is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Fertility and pregnancy support.
Fertility and pregnancy support
- Supports
- High-quality evidence supports a limited but real role for specific medical and nutritional interventions in improving certain fertility and pregnancy outcomes, particularly in women with ovarian aging or diminished ovarian reserve, and in selected thyroid conditions. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials in women with ovarian aging found that antioxidant supplements (including coenzyme Q10, melatonin, myo‑inositol, and vitamins) significantly increased the number of retrieved oocytes, high‑quality embryos, and clinical pregnancy rates while reducing gonadotropin dose, with coenzyme Q10 showing the most pronounced benefit. [22][26][28] This supports the idea that targeted antioxidant therapy can modestly improve fertility parameters in women with ovarian aging. The systematic review and meta-analysis of therapeutic management in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) reports that oral nutritional supplements such as vitamins, coenzyme Q10, and DHEA can reduce FSH, increase AMH and antral follicle count, increase oocyte and high‑quality embryo numbers, and improve clinical pregnancy rates in DOR women undergoing IVF/ICSI, although the recommendation is weak and framed as complementary therapy rather than primary treatment. [25] For thyroid-related fertility, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on levothyroxine treatment in women with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) examined fertility and pregnancy outcomes, indicating that thyroid hormone replacement can be clinically relevant in a subset of women with thyroid-related fertility issues, although effects on live birth and pregnancy outcomes are nuanced. [23] Regarding structural uterine factors, a systematic review and meta-analysis of fibroids and natural fertility supports that fibroids may interfere with natural fertility, and other evidence indicates that fertility-sparing surgical management (e. [24] g. , myomectomy for submucosal fibroids) can improve pregnancy rates in infertile women, thereby indirectly supporting the claim that appropriate medical/surgical management can aid fertility and subsequent pregnancy. Overall, these high-quality studies support the concept that evidence-based, condition-specific interventions (antioxidants in ovarian aging/DOR, levothyroxine in selected thyroid conditions, surgery for fibroids) can enhance fertility and support pregnancy in defined clinical populations, but they do not support broad, universal claims that generic supplements alone reliably “support fertility and pregnancy” for all women. [27][29]
- Contradicts
- Evidence also indicates important limitations and contradictions that weaken broad claims of fertility and pregnancy support, especially for generalized supplement use. [27] The systematic review and meta-analysis of antioxidants in women with ovarian aging shows improvements in intermediate fertility markers and clinical pregnancy rates, but it does not demonstrate strong or consistent effects on live birth rates, and benefits are most evident with coenzyme Q10 at specific doses and timing rather than with all antioxidants or supplement regimens. [22][24][25][26][28][29] The DOR management meta-analysis likewise concludes that oral nutritional supplements may help and have “certain clinical value” but only supports a weak recommendation, emphasizing that these are complementary therapies and that evidence quality and consistency are limited. The systematic review and meta-analysis of levothyroxine treatment in subclinical hypothyroidism examines fertility and pregnancy outcomes and highlights that levothyroxine does not uniformly improve live birth, miscarriage, or overall pregnancy outcomes across all women with SCH, contradicting any blanket claim that thyroid hormone therapy broadly enhances fertility or pregnancy in mild thyroid dysfunction. [23] The fibroids and natural fertility meta-analysis specifically notes that epidemiological data suggest but do not definitively demonstrate that fibroids interfere with natural fertility, indicating that the relationship between fibroids, fertility, and pregnancy is complex and not fully resolved. This undermines overly simplistic claims that any treatment for fibroids automatically supports fertility and pregnancy without careful patient selection and evidence-based management. Taken together, these findings contradict strong, generalized influencer-style claims that supplements or single interventions reliably “support fertility and pregnancy” across the board. Benefits are conditional, modest, and dependent on the underlying diagnosis, with notable gaps in high‑quality data on live birth and long‑term pregnancy outcomes.
- Mainstream view
- The mainstream medical and scientific position is that fertility and pregnancy outcomes are best supported through comprehensive, diagnosis-driven care rather than generic supplement-based approaches. [23][24][28][29] Current evidence and specialist guidelines support individualized evaluation of women with infertility or adverse pregnancy outcomes, including assessment of ovarian reserve, thyroid function, uterine anatomy (e. g. , fibroids), and other systemic factors. In women with ovarian aging or diminished ovarian reserve, mainstream practice recognizes that certain antioxidant or nutritional regimens (especially coenzyme Q10 and related supplements [22][25][26]

Chloe Skidmore is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Immune dysregulation.
Immune dysregulation
- Supports
- Immune dysregulation is a well-established medical concept describing breakdown or maladaptive change in the molecular and cellular control of immune responses, leading to autoimmunity, hyperinflammation, impaired host defense, or inappropriate tolerance to tumors. Contemporary reviews and editorials on immune dysregulation in inborn errors of immunity, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, and primary immunodeficiency consistently describe dysregulated immunity as a core mechanism in many conditions, not a fringe idea.[2][3][5][7] Clinical nutrition guidelines for complex inflammatory conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, explicitly acknowledge that chronic intestinal inflammation is driven by abnormal immune responses to luminal antigens and that nutrition support is tailored within this context of immune and inflammatory dysregulation.[2][14][20] ESPEN guidelines on clinical nutrition in inflammatory bowel disease describe IBD as a chronic immune-mediated condition in which both innate and adaptive immune pathways are aberrantly activated, and they integrate nutritional strategies alongside drugs that target immune dysregulation (e.g., biologics against TNF, integrins, IL-12/23).[14][20] ASPEN-FELANPE and other major nutrition guidelines emphasize that malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and inappropriate use of parenteral versus enteral nutrition can adversely affect immune function, implicitly recognizing that immune regulation is sensitive to nutritional status even if the term “immune dysregulation” is not always used.[19][24] The PREV-HAP interferon-γ1b trial in critically ill patients is grounded in the accepted concept of critical-illness-related immunosuppression (an acquired form of immune dysregulation) and attempts to restore immune competence pharmacologically, reflecting mainstream acceptance that immune function becomes pathologically altered in severe illness.[21] Primary immune regulatory disorders and inborn errors of immunity are formally classified groups of diseases where immune dysregulation (autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, hyperinflammation) is the defining mechanism, further supporting the legitimacy of the concept in contemporary immunology and clinical practice.[2][3][5][7][22]
- Contradicts
- The claim as given, “Immune dysregulation,” is extremely broad and lacks a specific causal, diagnostic, or therapeutic assertion; major guidelines do not support nonspecific, catch-all uses that imply immune dysregulation is an explanation for all symptoms or a standalone diagnosis without defined criteria.[14][19] High-quality hypertension management guidelines, for example, focus on vascular biology, neurohormonal control, and lifestyle factors rather than labeling hypertension broadly as immune dysregulation, illustrating that mainstream guidelines use more precise pathophysiologic frameworks.[0] ASPEN-FELANPE and ESPEN guidelines, while acknowledging interactions between nutrition and immune function, do not endorse routine immune-targeted supplements or parenteral nutrition solely to “fix immune dysregulation” in the absence of specific indications; they emphasize evidence-based indications, safety, and the primacy of enteral nutrition when feasible.[1][3][19][20] The PREV-HAP randomized controlled trial shows that simply boosting one immune pathway (interferon-γ1b) in critically ill patients did not reduce pneumonia or mortality and was stopped early for safety, contradicting simplistic influencer narratives that enhancing immune activity is uniformly beneficial in states of presumed immune dysregulation.[21][15] Editorials on innate immune regulation highlight that mechanisms of immune dysregulation are complex, multifactorial, and still not fully understood, cautioning against oversimplified claims that minor lifestyle changes can reliably “reset” or “rebalance” immune regulation in serious disease.[6] Overall, the rigorous literature supports immune dysregulation as a specific mechanistic concept tied to defined diseases, but not as an imprecise, universal explanation or easy therapeutic target in the way influencers often present it.
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream immunology and clinical medicine recognize immune dysregulation as a central mechanism in many conditions including autoimmune diseases, primary immune regulatory disorders, inborn errors of immunity, chronic inflammatory diseases (such as IBD), some cancers, and states like critical-illness-related immunosuppression.[2][3][5][7][9][14][20][21][22] It is viewed as a spectrum of abnormal immune control—ranging from insufficient responses (immunodeficiency) to excessive or misdirected responses (autoimmunity, hyper

Frames standard medical care as negligent ('treats symptoms but rarely addresses root cause') to create fear that the patient's condition is being missed, pushing them toward unproven 'root cause' testing. Likely motive: To justify expensive, non-standard lab panels and supplement protocols that insurance won't cover.

Commerce & grift map
Chloe Skidmore uses a DC license to claim authority over systemic diseases (diabetes, heart disease), creating fear that 'traditional medicine' misses root causes. This drives patients to expensive, non-standard specialty labs and unproven nutraceuticals. The lack of disclosure hides the financial incentive, and the cash-only model avoids insurance scrutiny.

Disclaimer hypocrisy
Chloe Skidmore hides behind a footer disclaimer claiming 'not medical advice' while simultaneously prescribing supplements and diagnosing systemic diseases like diabetes and heart disease—a classic disclaimer hypocrisy that shields liability while practicing 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.

The subject’s own license and governing board. Credentials of featured guests are excluded so they are not mistaken for the subject’s.
KS Chiropractor 16 of 16 advertised activities outside permitted scope, with a researched financial-remuneration model, and a disclosure gap.
Uses the title "Dr." but holds Chiropractor; without clear license identification this can imply medical-physician authority the credential does not carry.
Remuneration: Kickback/affiliate signals on 2 source(s).
Disclosure: Uses a buried fine-print disclaimer to shield advice that itself falls outside the licensed scope (disclaimer hypocrisy). Assessed against Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) advertising rules and FTC endorsement-disclosure guidance.

Chloe Skidmore holds a DC (chiropractor) license but advertises as a 'functional holistic doctor' specializing in systemic internal diseases (diabetes, heart disease), which is outside the scope of chiropractic board rules. This is credential inflation: using a narrow musculoskeletal license to imply broad medical authority.

FAQ
What does peer-reviewed research say about these claims?
Bro translation: Mainstream medical consensus does not support a chiropractor (DC) diagnosing or managing systemic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, or immune dysregulation, as these are outside the musculoskeletal scope of chiropractic practice.
Read the full answerHide the full answer
Bro translation: Mainstream medical consensus does not support a chiropractor (DC) diagnosing or managing systemic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, or immune dysregulation, as these are outside the musculoskeletal scope of chiropractic practice. The literature also does not back the claim that 'specialty labs' for food sensitivities or immune dysregulation are valid diagnostic tools for these conditions, nor that 'nutraceuticals' can treat root causes of chronic disease without evidence-based protocols. Chloe Skidmore's claims to diagnose and treat these conditions are unsupported and outside her licensed scope.
