Dr. Jeff Crippen’s passion is to live life to the fullest and help others do the same. He is a Chiropractor, Certified Traditional Naturopath and Life Force Particle Recovery Coach with a passion for helping others unlock their true potential. He enjoys seeing his clients win, improve their health and live the life they want.
This passion stems from his own personal struggles.
At age 6, Jeff began to experience severe migraines. As the headaches became more frequent and more severe, he visited a variety of medical professionals including pediatricians, orthopedists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, optometrists, acupuncturists and among others. Despite working with many different doctors, undergoing many tests and procedures (including blood work, X-rays, CT scans, MRIs among other diagnostic tests), plus taking a variety prescription medications, his health continued to deteriorate.
For the next 7 years, his headaches continued to worsen despite the best medical care he could find. At his low point, Jeff had a migraine that lasted for every moment of every day for two years. Because of these headaches, his life was severely limited. Going to school was difficult, he had to quit playing sports, doing homework was almost impossible and he spent virtually every day lying on the couch or in bed in pain.
At age 13, Jeff found the powerful combination of individualized nutritional therapy and chiropractic care. By combining these two powerful forces, he was able to unlock his body’s own ability to heal, leading to a complete turn around in his health. The headaches immediately stopped getting worse. Within six months his symptoms were significantly improved and he was back playing sports, attending school without pain and living a more normal teenage years.
As his health improved, he began to study why alternative medicine worked for him while traditional medicine had not.
He found that while traditional medicine focused on eliminating symptoms (masking the pain), alternative medicine instead focused on rebuilding and healing the body so that the cause of the pain was eliminated. As Jeff embraced these principles, his health continued to improve and once again was able to live the life he loved.
Inspired by his personal experience, he graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a degree in Spanish while completing the pre-med classes. He continued his education at Life University, graduating with honors as a Doctor of Chiropractic, while focusing on holistic nutrition as well as helping children through chiropractic and nutrition.
Based on his clinical success working with children with neurodevelopmental disorders, Dr. Crippen’s research and methodologies were published in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health.
After completing his internship at the largest chiropractic clinic in the world, Abundant Life Chiropractic outside Houston, Texas,
Dr. Crippen relocated to Saint Jo, Texas in 2011 to open this practice and study how stress effects health.
Since then, he has seen the power of truly holistic care by addressing health at all three levels of Spirit-Mind-Body connection. According to most medical textbooks, stress underlies 50-80 percent of all disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stress accounts for 75 percent of all doctors visits and this holds true for all types of disease, from the common cold to back pain to headaches to heart disease and cancer.
For years, Dr. Crippen studied the most effective methods to help his clients handle the negative stresses in their own lives and have more attention and energy to find and achieve what they do want. He found that as clients were able to handle their stressors, their health improved, their adjustments held longer, and they needed less supplementation to maintain optimum health.
As Dr. Crippen implemented this in his own life, his headaches improved even more rapidly than before. He also felt more energy, more ease, more presence and more harmony in his life and relationships. He then knew for sure that true holistic health care would have to address stress to really handle the root cause of disease.
Over the last seven years, clients from six continents have sought his help to handle past and current upsets, shocks, and failures so they could have more energy, focus and attention to achieve what they want in life.
He now has implemented this learning in his practice and is working to help other doctors and health care practitioners do the same. His mission is to empower individuals worldwide to greater levels of health and wellness resulting in the fuller expression of their innate potential.
