What the Health with Dr. Eric Nepute

As Dr. Eric Nepute was growing up in the small town of Carlinville, Illinois, little did he know how the town’s passion for football would shape his future. Dr. Eric was a natural athlete and football was king. He excelled at it, playing as an all-star for his high school team and eventually earning a football scholarship to Millikin University. Football wasn’t his dream though; from childhood, Dr. Eric had dreamed of being a top surgeon. Until a shoulder injury led to a revelation.

When you don’t know your options, you take your injury to a traditional doctor, and that’s what Dr. Eric did with his injured shoulder. Dr. Eric was told, “We’re sorry, but you can never play football again, and you’ll probably never have full motion of the shoulder.” Dr. Eric met a chiropractor who looked at his shoulder and told him, “We can fix this.” Once the chiropractor was able to put the shoulder into a state where it could heal itself, it became obvious that seeking answers only from traditional medicine was not the only way.

Dr. Eric’s path was changed by that shoulder injury, he knew he wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. He committed himself to a career in Chiropractic Wellness Care and would go on to graduate from Logan College of Chiropractic with advanced studies in sports medicine, advanced nutrition, applied kinesiology, functional neurology, internal health, and anti-aging.

It is now Dr. Eric’s mission to empower people to no longer be a victim of their health or circumstances and instead learn how their body works and how to achieve a state of total wellness.

Dr. Eric has become a sought after speaker in the health and wellness community, speaking on topics ranging from stress management to how to live a pain free life.  His unique ability to simplify complex health issues has brought Dr. Eric to the top of his field, not only as a clinician but also as an expert speaker.
