During this time, modern medicine was no help. At 13 year old, Jeff was able to heal his migraines through a combination of Chiropractic and nutrition.
Now Dr. Crippen (a chiropractor, nutritionist and coach) pays it forward. He helps patients heal through his specific methods in private practice, and outlined in his book, “ Timeless YouTH.” Get it here - https://timelessyouthbook.com/ Today, let’s understand how Dr. Crippen can help all of us get and maintain a better state of health.
