From Pain to Purpose: My Journey to Healing and Helping Others
Dr. Brian Klepzig
A Childhood Marked by Health Struggles
I thought I’d share a little bit of my story with you today. It’s a story of struggling with health, finding unexpected inspiration, and ultimately, discovering my life’s passion. How I went from pain to purpose.
I grew up in a small town in central Illinois and, to be honest, I was a pretty sick kid. Tonsillitis, allergies—you name it. I just didn’t feel good most of the time. By my early teens, I found myself searching for ways to feel better. I knew instinctively that diet and exercise had something to do with it, even before I fully understood the healing process.
An Unexpected Career Shift
I went to college and earned a degree in an unrelated field, got married to my college sweetheart, and moved to the St. Louis area. My first job was tough, physically demanding work, and one day, I injured my back. That’s when everything changed.
I ended up in a chiropractor’s office on a Saturday morning, just looking for relief. But what I got was so much more. I spent three hours there, soaking up every bit of information this chiropractor had to share. I remember thinking, “This guy has the greatest job in the world.” But at that time, I didn’t see myself doing it. I lacked confidence in my abilities. Still, the desire was there, and eventually, I found my way to chiropractic school at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis.
Discovering a Passion for Healing
Those were some of the best years of my life. I was finally studying something I loved. I couldn’t believe I was getting the chance to dive deep into how the body works and, more importantly, how to help it heal.
About halfway through my studies, I had an experience that would shift my perspective yet again. I was still dealing with some lingering health issues, and I decided to try acupuncture. In that very moment I could feel my body’s energy shift. It was like a light bulb went on. I knew I had to learn more.
I immersed myself in the study of acupuncture, pursuing it with such dedication that I became board-certified. Along the way, I was fortunate to find a mentor, Dr. John Sunderlage, whose guidance profoundly shaped my understanding of the body’s innate ability to heal. Through years of mentorship and hands-on experience, I not only honed my technical skills but also developed a confidence I once believed was beyond my reach.
My Health Struggles Changed My Life
If you’re interested in learning more about my journey and approach to healing, check out my video where I share how I transitioned from chiropractic care to developing Applied Bio-Energy Analysis. In it, I discuss the challenges I faced in my own health and how they led me to where I am today.
What Is Applied Bio-Energy Analysis? My Holistic Approach to Healing
When I started Klepzig Natural Healing Clinic, I focused on chiropractic care, acupuncture, and nutrition. Over time, my approach evolved. I began to step away from chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture and leaned into nutrition and herbal medicine. But I still felt like something was missing.
I needed a diagnostic system that made sense to me—one that addressed functional disorders in a way that integrated everything I had learned from both Western and Eastern medicine.
That’s when I developed Applied Bio-Energy Analysis, a proprietary method that involves a standard muscle test conducted with electronically imprinted vials used to help understand if the major organs and tissues are maintaining their vital energy.
By using the abea test kits in a series, we can gain a clearer understanding of how your body is compensating, prioritize your treatment plan, and monitor progress from one visit to the next. This method allows for a highly individualized approach, enabling me to tailor treatments with nutritional support, and herbal medicine that align precisely with the patient’s needs.
The Role of Whole Food Nutrition and Herbal Supplementation
Think of your body like a house—one that has been standing for years, exposed to the elements. Over time, the foundation weakens, the walls start to crack, and the roof begins to leak. What if you only patched up the cracks without reinforcing the foundation? Eventually, the whole structure would collapse. That’s exactly what happens when we try to address chronic illness with band-aid solutions instead of replenishing the body with the fundamental nutrients it needs to rebuild. Chronic illness isn’t just something that ‘happens’—it’s often the result of years of depletion. Deficiencies in essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients leave the body unable to repair, regulate, and defend itself properly.
Whole food nutrition and herbal supplementation play a crucial role in my clinic, providing the body with the essential nutrients it needs to heal and thrive. I utilize whole food supplements from Standard Process and herbal remedies from MediHerb to support my patients’ health naturally. These products are sourced from high-quality ingredients and are designed to work in harmony with the body’s natural healing processes.
Whether addressing deficiencies, supporting organ function, or aiding in detoxification, I incorporate these powerful tools into individualized treatment plans based on my diagnostic assessments. By using food-based nutrition and targeted herbal solutions, I help my patients restore balance and vitality from the inside out.
Where I Am Today
So, where am I today? I help people heal. Every single day, I work to unwind the layers of dysfunction in my patients’ bodies, helping them move from chronic illness to balance and vitality.
My journey isn’t over, and neither is yours. Healing is a process, a partnership, and a lifelong pursuit. And I love every minute of it.
