Melissa Hall Klepacki

Melissa Hall Klepacki (CGS’90, Wheelock’92) of Skillman, N.J., a two-time NCAA rowing champion (1991 and 1992) and BU Athletic Hall of Fame member, is a licensed master acupuncturist with 25 years of experience and a gut health guru. Her new book, The Constipation Code (The Guud Company, 2025), explores “eight hidden factors behind 90 percent of cases—delivering 70 percent success rates, while traditional medicine only hits 14 percent,” she writes. “At Wheelock, we learned ‘those who can do, teach.’ I’m not just treating symptoms—I’m teaching people to heal themselves.” Visit melissahallklepacki.com.
