You don't get to call yourself doctor otherwise. Some red flags are vague and missing educational details. They call themselves a traditional naturopath. Like I said, that's usually a dead giveaway. They're board certified by some unknown or unregulated board like the American Naturopathic Medical, you know, whatever credentialing society. There's no listing of any official.

There's no listing of them in any official licensing database, right? I will tell you this. There's the National Practitioner Index, the NPI. And I thought for a long time that that would be the way. I always thought you couldn't get an NPI number unless you were actually a practicing licensed doctor that holds a license in a state. But I have learned since that that's wrong.

And there are a lot of fake NDs and fake doctors getting their NPIs. So forget the NPI number. I used to think that was a surefire way. So whatever. Why can they get away with it? Because there are a few legal protections in place.

Like I said, most states don't regulate the term naturopath, and the term doctor can be used by anyone with any type of doctorate, even if it's fake, because there's no federal regulation of that word. Can you believe that? There's no federal regulation of the word doctor, at least that I can find. There's no federal title protections on it.

And then, again, we've got the PhDs who are giving out clinical information and clinical treatment plans, and they have no medical training no clinical hours and no license to hold them accountable. There's no licensing board to police them. So again, this is not about gatekeeping. It's not about me saying I'm better than anyone else. It's just about transparency.

And it's about this sort of assigned role. Somehow we have like assigned authority to people who have bigger followings and we've decided that they're the Holy Grail. And the bigger the following, the more clout they have and the more trust that they gain. And I've seen it in my own following. It's very weird. And I just think that that's incorrect.

I know brilliant doctors sitting in their clinics who will never be recognized, who have no online following, who've never been on a podcast. And they hold the secrets to really tremendous, phenomenal, deeply... researched and deep clinical experience. And they hold the secrets to the universe and they'll never get any kind of platform to share it.
