Dr Stefan Ripich

Known as the go-to clinician for people with diabetes and blood sugar disorders who want to get off their meds and reverse their disease, Dr. Stefan Ripich ND, CNP is a licensed clinical practitioner with more than 20 years experience. Based in Santa Fe, NM, he combines both naturopathic and allopathic training in his practice, which is founded on the body’s amazing power to heal itself.

As the most prevalent disease in Western medicine, diabetes treatment forms almost 40% of Dr. Ripich’s practice. Over the course of his long career, he has treated thousands of patients, with the goal of combining the proven scientific findings that Type 2 diabetes is reversible with his naturopathic and nutritional training.

“There are so many well-documented studies from major research centers, such as the UCLA School of Medicine, which found that Type 2 diabetes is completely reversible when patients simply modify their diet and lifestyle,” he says.

“The difficulty for most people is how,” Dr. Ripich points out. “We made it easy for them with The 30-Day Diabetes Cure book. Every day they simply make one small change in their diet and living habits – and in 30 days, they’re living what we call ‘the diabetes healing lifestyle.’ Taken together, all those baby steps add up to a major cure – guaranteed.”

Dr. Ripich started his career with dual degrees from Case Western University as a Nurse Practitioner and a Clinical Specialist in Mental Health Nursing. At the time, he was only one of 40 people in the US to achieve both certifications, thereby successfully combining treatment of both the mind and the body to achieve a more holistic model.

In addition to holding clinical faculty positions at three universities, Dr. Ripich spent ten years practicing at the Palo Alto Veteran’s Medical Center, where he also established the first V.A. holistic medical clinic. Fascinated by naturopathic medicine, Dr. Ripich attended Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona for a rigorous, four-year training.

Naturopathy emphasizes prevention and lifestyle education as the cornerstones of true wellness, rather than simply applying “band aid” solutions to the management of symptoms. “This approach is perfect for the treatment of diabetes,” he notes, “because it is a medical condition caused by poor diet and lifestyle.”
