Jessica Laine Peatross

NPI (public registry): 1689704074
I. INTRODUCTION
Complainant respectfully submits this complaint to the Medical Board of California requesting formal investigation and regulatory review concerning Jessica Laine Peatross (the Respondent), identified in the attached public materials.
The public materials reviewed appear to present representations concerning the identification and management of health conditions that may extend beyond the MD scope in California. The materials also appear to describe paid consultations, care plans, or product sales offered in connection with those representations.
This complaint is based exclusively upon publicly available materials and does not rely upon confidential patient records, privileged communications, or non-public investigative information. The factual observations herein were assembled from an automated public-record review of the Respondent's public website and public registry records, and were reviewed and adopted by the Complainant. All observations are potential, unverified signals from public records; the Board is the sole finder of fact.
The principal public materials reviewed include https://drjessmd.com/, https://groundbasednutrition.com/, http://www.dutchtest.com/ and the public registry and license verification sources listed in the exhibit index below.
II. STATEMENT OF FACTS
A. Public Marketing Representations
Publicly posted content appears to make the following representation: "For this reason, I recommend seeing a skilled practitioner who specializes in this. Look into saunas, binders (my favorite are from Microbe Formulas) and if all else fails, chelation." Publicly posted content also appears to make the following representation regarding parasites: "Parasites! Check my most recent blog on parasites here: How To Treat a Parasite Invasion-Yes, We All Have Them! Parasites are nocturnal so cause stress on the body at night." Further, publicly posted content appears to state: "I use their tools in cancer, autoimmunity, and even pathogenic invasions." Additionally, publicly posted content appears to represent: "Hyperhidrosis is another autoimmune condition where the person sweats profusely on their hands and feet."
B. Consultation and Monetization Structure
Public materials appear to describe a consultation and monetization structure that promotes 4 commerce partner(s) with a compensation model not yet established. These materials also appear to show kickback or affiliate signals on 3 source(s).
C. Storefront and Product Sales
Public materials appear to link to Ground Based Nutrition (supplement), and the vendor's public materials describe provider compensation for such links. Public materials also appear to link to DUTCH Test (Precision Analytical) (lab), and the vendor's public materials describe provider compensation for such links.
