About Us

I am delighted that you have chosen to visit my site. I would like to share with you , my background and my goals to specifically help YOU.

Although formally I am known as Dr. Thomas Edward Gargiula,  I enjoy going by the nickname of Dr. G. I live in St. Louis, Missouri with my beautiful wife and four wonderful children.

As a chiropractor, I have been coaching clients and patients since 1990. As a result of working with thousands of patients whose underlying cause of their health concern was the inability to adapt to the stress in their lives, I have a vast storehouse of knowledge of how stress effects the workings of the mind and the body. From this I have developed insights and tools to help individuals deal with stress either through elimination or acceptance of that which they cannot change.

Through Research I found that the five most common causes of stress are:

  1. Time
  2. Money
  3. Health
  4. Relationships
  5. Lack of Purpose.

My goal with this site and my book series “The Ripple Effect” is to give you the tools to decrease the negative stress in your life and to adapt to the stress that you cannot change.  You can then drink in knowledge and wisdom with an open mind and an open-heart to change, enhance, and improve your total life experience.

I would like to share with you more about my lovely wife Sue Gargiula. Sue has spent her whole life in the service of others.  After the typical teenage job of shoe store sales attendant and being a travel agent in her young 20s, Sue accelerated her level of service.  At 23, after our meeting and marriage, she began her role as developer, marketer, and office manager at Chiropractic Wellness Centers.  By my side she has helped thousands of people learn about the benefits of living a Wellness Chiropractic Lifestyle. She aids in their care, coordination of their Wellness Programs, and gives unsurpassed service in everything she does.

In 1997 we adopted our first of four children from Guatemala.  Now Sue took on one of the most important roles of her life.  Raising, caring for, and loving these four beautiful gifts from God.  When the children were all in school, she resumed an active role as creative director at Windmill Family Wellness Center and helped to bring the level of service to an unprecedented level of excellence.

To help even more people, together we have decided to take what has worked to make our lives in all areas so wonderful and share it with the world.  This is where TheRippleEffectLife.com was born.
