Welcome to Pepper Natural Health & Wellness! I’m Dr. L. “John” Pepper, Jr, a proud 5th generation native of Sebring, FL.

In 1999, I realized my dream of opening Pepper Natural Health & Wellness, dedicated to providing exceptional natural and holistic care to our community in Sebring, FL. My commitment to continued education led me to complete an additional three years of post-doctorate studies in Functional Neurology with the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies, equipping me with advanced skills to better serve my patients.
Beyond my practice, I have been an active member of the Rotary Club of Highlands County since 1997, where I have served as President (2007-2008 and 2022-2023) and was honored as Rotarian of the Year (2015).
In my personal life, I find great joy in spending quality time with my wife, Kelly, six children, their spouses, and grandchildren. Family gatherings are a frequent cherished tradition, where we celebrate milestones, create lasting memories, and enjoy each other’s company.
I have a passion for exploring culinary experiences, both indoors and outdoors. Whether it’s experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, enjoying a family barbecue, or trying out some new foods on the Kamado, I love the adventure and creativity that cooking brings. I also organize the annual Crazy Pepper Chili Cook Off for the Rotary Club of Highlands County on The Circle in Downtown Sebring, blending my culinary interests with community service.
Cycling is another one of my passions. I enjoy both on and off-road cycling, exploring the beautiful landscapes of Central Florida. Whether it’s a peaceful ride through scenic trails or an adventurous trek on rugged paths, cycling allows me to stay active and connect with nature.
At Pepper Natural Health & Wellness, we are dedicated to your health and well-being, and I look forward to being a part of your wellness journey.
Dr. Kelly Pepper
D.C.
Hello, so happy that you are visiting our site! I am Dr. Kelly Pepper. I graduated from National College of Chiropractic with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1996. Not wanting to waste any time, within the week, Dr. John and I tied the knot- and why wait when I could be a Pepper, too? And, staying on the fast track, ten months later our first daughter was born. I practiced for a few years in the office, and, with each new addition to the family,

I segued more into full-time Dr. Mom. From day one, Dr. John and I shared the core value of caring for our growing family, and the ailments that arise, with the most natural healthcare options available. This has driven me to research, study and implement methods and lifestyle changes to facilitate the body’s innate healing. Through my studies, my interests led me down the road of using a combination of conventional and functional medicine testing to discover the cause of illness. Based on interpretation of the results of the evaluations, I could then develop health planning through diet modification, supplementation and lifestyle interventions to help the body achieve balance. In the past few years I have carried these skills back over into the office setting, and I have enjoyed working with patients in the office with these methods to resolve their health issues.
As of now, I devote some time in the office for patient care, and a majority of time continuing the homeschooling journey. My husband and I value family time, and, as he has mentioned, we relish our gatherings of family, food and fun on the weekends. He is usually the mastermind chef behind the main dish, and I the sous chef. And the meal, you may wonder- we usually knock it out of the park! For hobbies, I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, walking, painting and interior design.
Perhaps, after reading all our bios and checking out our site for what our clinic has to offer, you are interested in our healthcare services for you and your family. If so, we look forward to have our family care for your family.
