Happiness in life goes hand in hand with health. Health is a necessary requirement for a fulfilling, purposeful life. Unfortunately for most, health is far from reach and seems unattainable with no direction how to get there. The lack of knowledge behind natural principles of health is leaving many hopeless.
Acne, eczema, gastrointenstinal distress, back pain, and depression are just some of the things Dr. Stepien experienced before entering chiropractic school. While captain of his college football team and knowledgeable of what mainstream health advice consisted of, his body was in shambles. The answer to his improper form in squatting from coaches was, “Don’t squat.” The answer to his acne and eczema was creams, lotions, and chronic washing. The answer to his depression was “get over it.” His happiness suffered because of his lack of health. Something was not right. During his education, he began to question conventional wisdom and what the human body actually requires to express natural health.
Dr. Stepien learned that the current health care system is good at certain things, mainly emergency situations. They are the fire department when your house is on fire. But they weren’t so good at reconstructing the house after the fire. So, he began reconstruction on himself. Through a holistic approach, addressing what every human body needs for optimal health, he began to move differently, eat differently, and think differently. This approach allowed the signs and symptoms of disease he previously experienced without a cause to disappear. Suddenly, there was hope of happiness, all based on having a balanced body, mind, and spirit. This brought inspiration. Because of the gratitude he experienced in his new ways, he made it his mission to show other people another way, bringing hope to people in need. With every person that gets “it”, understanding how true health is achieved, he has served his life purpose for another day.
Dr. Stepien was attracted to Asheville because of the natural health community and the opportunity to befriend some really amazing people. He hopes to help make Asheville an even more fit, healthier, and happier place to live.
