EP. 204 There’s a lot of misinformation out there, and today, I’m breaking down the truth about fake credentials in the medical and wellness space. From bogus board certifications to outright fake PhDs, I’m giving you the tools to spot the red flags and protect yourself from bad advice. Too many people are being misled by so-called experts, and it’s time to set the record straight. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the different types of credentials, what’s real, what’s not, and how you can make sure you’re getting advice from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about.
