Is Your Health “Expert” Actually Qualified? Dr. Jen Breaks Down Credentials You Can Trust


Listen Later

Confused by health “experts” online? Learn how to tell if your wellness professional is truly qualified. Dr. Jen Pfleghaar explains credentials, red flags, and what you must verify.

Dr. Jen Pfleghaar goes solo in this important episode to clear up confusion about professional labels and credentials in the health and wellness world. In an age when everyone on social media calls themselves a “doctor” or “expert,” she shares exactly how to tell who’s qualified—and who isn’t.

Dr. Jen explains the rigorous training that licensed MDs, DOs, chiropractors, and physician assistants undergo, contrasting them with unregulated programs and diploma mills that produce unqualified “experts.” You’ll learn why transparency about training, clear scope of practice, and proper licensure matter for your safety—and how to spot red flags fast.

We also explore why so many people are harmed by health coaches or influencers stepping beyond their legal scope and how to do your own due diligence before trusting someone with your health.

If you’ve ever wondered what all those letters after someone’s name mean—or if you’ve felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice online—this episode empowers you to ask the right questions and protect yourself.

Dr. Jen Pfleghaar, DO, ABOIM, hosts this solo episode to demystify the credentials behind health professionals and wellness influencers. From MDs and DOs to health coaches and PhDs, she shares how to distinguish rigorous training from unqualified self-promotion—so you can make informed decisions about your care.
