About Dr. Stephen Feig
Osteopathic Physician
Dr. Stephen A. Feig is an osteopathic physician with more than 36 years of clinical experience. He is dedicated to practicing medicine through a holistic and integrative approach. His work focuses on patients struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions that often remain unresolved in conventional medical care. Over the decades, he has also shared his expertise through education, lecturing across the United States for over 30 years on gut health, nutrition, and the intestinal microbiome.
Dr. Feig began his academic journey at Rutgers College, where he studied biological sciences and psychology. His early concentration on the mind-body connection and systems-level processes shaped the foundation of his medical philosophy. He then pursued his training as a physician of osteopathic medicine, which included rigorous education in pharmacology, diagnostics, internal medicine, pediatrics, endocrinology, gynecology, and primary care. This broad training allowed him to view the human body as an interconnected system, preparing him to treat patients with clinical precision and holistic understanding.
Throughout his career, Dr. Stephen Feig has emphasized the importance of identifying and addressing the root causes of illness. He believes true healing cannot come from suppressing symptoms alone but correcting underlying imbalances. He has been especially mindful of the ways trauma can affect the body and mind, weaving this awareness into his care. His method integrates functional medicine, nutritional science, and mind-body practices to create a comprehensive approach to health. This allows him to support patients dealing with chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, irritable bowel syndrome, and other chronic conditions that standard protocols may overlook.
Testing is essential to his clinical process, though he applies it with discretion. Dr. Feig relies on evaluations that provide helpful, actionable information. These may include advanced stool analysis, hormone metabolite panels, micronutrient assessments, inflammation markers, immune system profiles, and toxic burden panels. He does not treat lab results in isolation but interprets them within the broader context of a patient’s history and condition. This integrated method allows him to recognize patterns that may not appear in conventional testing and to design targeted and effective interventions.
Gastrointestinal health is a central area of focus in his practice. Dr. Feig views the gut as a key regulator of immune tone, brain function, metabolic balance, neurological stability, and detoxification. He evaluates gut function using tools such as functional stool analysis, digestive health profiling, and microbial assessments. His treatment strategies restore barrier function, support immune balance, and correct deficiencies that influence systemic health.
He also devotes much of his work to hormonal and metabolic regulation. Recognizing the importance of stable endocrine function, he examines adrenal rhythm, thyroid balance, sex hormones, and insulin dynamics. He relies on precise data to guide recommendations, avoiding the risks of overcorrection. His careful monitoring allows for gradual restoration, leading to improved energy, sleep, cognitive clarity, and mood regulation.
Immune health is another cornerstone of his practice. Dr. Feig works with patients with autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, persistent infections, and hypersensitive immune responses. His approach includes studying immune markers, antigen exposure, and environmental contributors such as mold and toxic burden. He incorporates nutritional strategies, lifestyle changes, and botanical therapies to reduce immune reactivity and foster resilience.
Chronic inflammation and stress are interconnected, and Dr. Feig examines both. He evaluates inflammatory markers, cardiovascular risk, and the long-term effects of stress on adaptive systems. By helping patients reduce reactivity and strengthen parasympathetic balance, he works to restore systemic harmony. His experience enables him to separate superficial symptoms from deeper dysfunction, assisting patients to avoid unnecessary or repetitive treatments.
One of the most defining qualities of Dr. Feig’s practice is his dedication to listening. Each consultation is shaped around dialogue, observation, and careful interpretation. In detail, he reviews medical history, lifestyle factors, stress exposure, and previous medical records. His recommendations are grounded in data and clinical observation, and he avoids unnecessary complexity. Patients describe his approach as precise, practical, and respectful, allowing them to feel heard and understood.
Many of Dr. Feig’s patients continue under his care for years, building long-term clinical relationships for adaptation, refinement, and sustainable progress. These ongoing partnerships help patients gain deeper insight into their physiology and greater confidence in managing their health. Dr. Feig upholds medical ethics, clear boundaries, and professional integrity, ensuring that care remains transparent and responsible.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Feig has dedicated decades to public education. For more than 30 years, he has lectured on digestive health and nutritional science. His presentations are known for their clarity, humor, and practical application. Instead, he avoids speculation and focuses on established mechanisms that can guide effective care. Through his clinical practice and educational efforts, Dr. Stephen Feig dedicates his career to helping patients restore balance, resilience, and long-term well-being.
