In this brief talk, the speaker addresses therapists who are considering incorporating plant‑based medicine into their services. The core advice is to first verify what is legally permissible in the state where the therapist is licensed, taking into account the specific professional license and any required certifications. The speaker recommends contacting the state licensing board—anonymously if preferred—to confirm whether the practice is allowed, whether certification is needed, and whether it can be advertised. Based on that information, therapists can decide whether to add a service page to their website, obtain necessary credentials, or refrain from offering or promoting plant‑based medicine altogether.

All the rage is plant-based medicine, and you're thinking you want to add that to your practice. Should you do it? Here's what I would say. You have to figure out in the state that you're licensed in what is legal and what is not, and depending upon your license, what you are allowed to practice with or without certification. Before you add anything to your website, call your licensing board and ask that question. You can ask it anonymously. You can just call up and say, hey, I got a question. You don't have to tell them who you are, right? Get that information, and that will give you a lean into whether or not you can just write a page on your website and say, hey, we're offering this, or if you have to validate it with a certification or any kind of like credentials that prove that you're allowed to do it, or if this stuff is just not allowed at all and you probably don't want to advertise that it's something that you're doing.
