@drzackmd: Calling yourself a doctor in a clinical clinic setting requires clear credentials. If someone says they treat the root cause instead of handing you a pill, check the degree on the wall. Often, they do not prescribe medication because they hold a PhD in a non-clinical field, not an MD, DO, or DC. Anyone can call themselves an expert online. Make sure the person managing your medical conditions has actual clinical licensing and accredited residency training. #DrZackMD #EvidenceBasedMedicine #MedicalCredentials #HealthcareTransparency #DoctorLife
As a PhD, I agree... and calling ourselves "a doctor" is deceptive. I'm proud of my credentials for what they are and don't need to confuse people about what I really am.

What all due respect Dr. you are playing with semantics. Functional medicine, doctors and practitioners are licensed, and majority of them are board certified in their specialty.

Translation: “I am not handing you a pill because I have no prescribing authority as I am indeed not a medical doctor and it would literally be illegal for me to do so”

Ummmm…in some states PhDs can prescribe. And “board certified neuropsychologist” is a real title with a lot of training and a grueling certification process.

Also, what doctors don’t try to treat the root cause? I had severe joint pain, so my doctor sent for bloodwork to test for different causes of that joint pain before she decided how to treat my pain. I also have a thyroid disease, and she sent me for lab work and imaging of my thyroid to figure out why my thyroid was acting up. What doctors treats a symptom without finding out what is causing it?

lol I’m an MD but I’ve got a PHD in Hamster Psychology. The root cause shit fries me as a GP though because most of the time? The “root cause” is in large part genetics. Like oh you don’t want a pill to treat your diabetes, you want to get to the “root cause?” Well part of the root cause was both your parents are diabetics, so you want me to go back in time and try and Sarah Connor them, or what? 🤣
