🎙️ Hosts: Shannen & Nyleen

In this episode of Credentialing Chronicles, Shannon and Nyleen hit pause on their usual “tea across America” to unpack the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents through a credentialing and ethics lens. Framing everything as alleged, they explore how emails, funding trails, and professional proximity to power expose deep gaps in our current systems: credentialing that only reacts to board actions and sanctions, weak oversight in cash-pay wellness and research spaces, and institutions that often protect prestige over transparency. Through case examples involving a neurologist, a longevity specialist, a research physician, and a prominent psychiatrist, they ask hard questions about boundaries, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, and mandated reporting—and argue that MSPs are ethical gatekeepers, not paperwork processors. If you care about how doctors get vetted, who funds the science, and what never makes it into the file, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
