Jeff Khleif graduated with honors and received the Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy in 1993. He began his rewarding professional career as a hospital pharmacist at Floyd Medical Center, a teaching hospital in Rome, Georgia. He later worked as a liaison to FDA for Solvay Pharmaceuticals in Marietta, Georgia, helping coordinate research activities of the company and providing data directly to the FDA in support of new drug approval.

    He met his wife, Millanne, while living in Atlanta. They moved to Birmingham in 2002 just after being married, where he had accepted the position of Director of Regulatory Affairs for BioCryst Pharmaceuticals. After a disappointing layoff 8 months later, he worked for CVS Pharmacy for a few years. He later worked at UAB, first as a hospital clinical pharmacist, and then within the School of Medicine, where he expanded and coordinated a program of specialized clinical research for kidney, liver and islet cell transplant patients. After it became apparent that resources would not be available to continue his position at UAB, he went to work for Target pharmacy.

    In 2010 he left Target and went on a journey of discovery, choosing instead to bridge the traditional allopathic pharmaceutical approach to “wellness” to include an integrated, holistic, and more comprehensive approach to health and wellness. He is now a Reconnective Healing® practitioner and nutritional counselor at 4Health Chiropractic in Hoover, where he provides a holistic and integrative approach to wellness.

    His interests include music, travel, bowling, the outdoors and spending time with family and like-minded friends. He and his wife Millanne have a son, Cameron, who blessed their lives in November 2003, and who continues to be his greatest teacher. They have lived in the Oak Mountain/Indian Springs area since originally moving to Birmingham in 2002.
