Mission StatementÂ
At Wellness by Design, our mission is to awaken the greatest potential in every individual—physically, emotionally, mentally, relationally, and spiritually—so they can become powerful forces for healing in their lives and communities.
We are here to train mission-driven coaches and holistic leaders who are ready to share their gifts, uplift others, and ripple goodness into the world.
Rooted in the Salutogenic Model of Health, we focus not on disease, but on what creates vitality and well-being. We believe that true health is proactive, empowering, and built from the inside out.
Inspired by the MOGO Principle—Most Good, Least Harm—our work is guided by a commitment to serve people, animals, and the planet. Because doing good is good for us all.
From this foundation of Kosmocentric Consciousness, we are designing a new paradigm of wellness—one where compassion, purpose, and interconnection drive everything we do.
Together, we rise. For health. For humanity. For the future.
Our Founder

Dr. Jon Repole, DC, NC, HHP, CFMP, CFHHP, CPT
Dr. Jon Repole, D.C., is a lifelong seeker, teacher, and healer whose journey into the world of health and wellness began with personal tragedy. After the loss of his sister to iatrogenic disease, Jon was propelled into a decades-long mission to understand the deeper roots of healing—beyond symptom management and into the realms of purpose, interconnection, and transformation.
What began as a personal quest evolved into a professional calling. Over the past 25 years, Dr. Jon has treated more than 10,000 patients, helping them reclaim their vitality through a functional, holistic, and heart-centered approach to medicine. His awakening to the profound interconnectedness of all things—people, animals, the environment, and the Kosmos—came during a pivotal emotional time in his life and continues to fuel his passion to make the world a better place.
Dr. Jon is the author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Illness to Wellness: A Revolutionary 11-Step Program to Conquer Disease, Create Everyday Miracles, and Reconnect to Your Higher Self. His teachings inspire readers and students to view healing as a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
He is also the clinic director at Jacksonville Health and Wellness Center and the founder and lead instructor of Wellness by Design, a 6-month certification program in functional and holistic health coaching. Dr. Jon holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic, a Bachelor of Science degree from Siena College, a Functional Medicine Practitioner degree from Functional Medicine University, and certifications in holistic health and nutrition from the Global Institute for Alternative Medicine. His postgraduate studies span endocrinology, anti-aging, longevity, life coaching, plant-based nutrition, and neurology.
As a teacher and mentor, Dr. Jon is now focused on a greater mission: training a new generation of purpose-driven coaches and practitioners. His goal is to help others unlock their inner voice, step into their most heroic selves, and become lightworkers who share their love, talents, and gifts with the world.
Dr. Jon believes that true transformation is not about surface-level change—but about shifting self-identity.
He considers it a privilege to guide others as they change the trajectory of their lives, pursue their dream careers, and make their unique mark on the world.
When not in the clinic or classroom, you’ll find Dr. Jon composing music, advocating for animal rights, studying A Course in Miracles, writing, researching, or spending time with his beloved fur babies in Jacksonville, Florida.

This multidimensional lens allows students to develop the capacity to see health, healing, and human potential through a truly integrative perspective.
We have curated insights and inspiration from many of the greatest minds and hearts across time—including Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Jeffrey Bland (the father of functional medicine), the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, the wisdom of the great sages, and modern pioneers in psychology, consciousness, and medicine. These voices echo through the curriculum, offering depth, context, and soul.
This is more than a certification. It is an enlightening journey through the full spectrum of existence—one that equips students not only to practice but to embody a new paradigm of healing for themselves and those they serve.
This isn’t just about learning—it’s about awakening to the full spectrum of what it means to be alive, whole, and of service.
By weaving together science, soul, and systems thinking, we empower students to become architects of a more conscious, compassionate world.
