Since its not really clear on their website
When they say 3 LORs does that mean from anybody?
Currently I have 1 non science prof, 1 Research Professor, 1 DPM
Is this enough?

That should be fine! I just did 2 prof and 1 DPM since that's what most the schools required.

I have a friend/alum from undergrad that goes there and works with prospective students, so I'll email her and verify that for you. As from my understanding I believe 2 are usually professors/advisors and the other one can be DPM but I'll check!

To add to the above, a committee letter will still sub for the 2 faculty.

I'm not getting LOR's from any professors so hopefully the schools are okay with that. They're all just going to be from doctors

You may need one from a professor

In general it's either:
1 letter from premed committee + 1 DPM
2 letters from professors + 1 DPM

So I'll literally be outright rejected without one from a professor? I'm having one from a pod and one from another doctor (who isn't a pod) who knows me personally from EC's I've spent with him.

If you are a non-trad I would contact them and see if they can work with you, if you have been out of undergrad for a while, they may accept one from an employer. If you just do not have a letter from a professor, well then they will probably say tough.

The 3 letters usually mean that two should be from science professors and one from a health professional such as a DPM. I do not think they are very strict about it, though, and you should be fine. One of my letters is from a bio prof, one from mph prof, and other from a DPM.
