Christopher Lepisto, ND

Christopher Lepisto, ND Better health, naturally I am Doctor Christopher Lepisto. You may seek out my care for a number of reasons. You may simply want to improve your overall health.

As a naturopathic doctor, I specialize in helping the body to naturally achieve and maintain optimal health. Today, many of us develop health challenges which result from the stress of our busy lifestyle, leaving us feeling exhausted and overworked. This is a defeating experience for those of us who are accustomed to feeling strong, energetic and vibrant. I work closely with my patients to address

the root cause of their health challenges, rather than simply treating the superficial symptoms. The natural solutions I provide are designed to give the body the necessary components to heal, regenerate, and operate in peak form. But you don't have to suffer from a particular condition to set a visit. I understand what your body needs for optimal function and performance throughout all stages of life. I provides unique treatments and solutions to help your body perform at its best and maintain health through the body's natural ability to create its own vitality, rather than treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals which mask the underlying problems. Naturopathy is particularly well suited for chronic conditions such as asthma, muscle pain, allergies and arthritis, as well as disorders that may have a stress- or diet-related factor, such as digestive problems, insomnia, skin disorders and fatigue. If you've never been to a naturopathic doctor before, you'll be delighted with the level of personalized care you receive. Unlike visiting an allopathic physician—where you are seen by the doctor for only a few minutes, given a prescription and sent on your way—your treatment with me will begin with a thorough health evaluation and assessment, as well as a detailed investigation of any specific health concerns which may have prompted your visit. I will continue to see you actively over the course of 5-8 weeks to measure how your body is responding to treatment, and adapt your specific treatment plan accordingly. After the initial treatment course, I will likely recommend occasional follow-up visits to ensure your body is performing at its best.

In this era of mega-fires and heavy smoke (Ft Collins, CO shown here), it will be a persistent, ongoing challenge to our health. We have at least two more months of the antioxidant-depleting particulates in smoke. Getting the help you need now to deal with any sinus, lung or energy issues will set you up for better long-term preparedness in your overall health and vitality. Stay tuned for details in my next newsletter.

Got bloat? Among other therapeutics, probiotics are famous for aiding bacterial balance and reducing bloating and gas. Now, a landmark study in a prominent journal is showing that "gut bacteria (Parabacteroides goldsteinii) can be autoclaved — fully sterilized — and still retain immune and metabolic benefits." It means that expensive probiotics that attempt to protect the bacteria from stomach acid are unlikely to be necessary. I can help you pick a great one that fits your needs. (Credit Thaena)

The ongoing wildfires in Western Colorado are alarming to our psyche and to our bodies, and this challenge will continue. If your lungs and sinuses are struggling to adapt, sinus rinses can be a simple and effective tool to take the burden off the mucus membranes. Picking from all the natural supplemental support available, I believe N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) to be the most powerful anti-oxidant to replenish glutathione in the body, which is necessary to detoxify the pollutants in wildfire smoke.

Seasonally, many are getting hit hard right now. There is a natural fatigue that comes with long, hot days, but when compounded by wildfire smoke and other irritants, can feel overwhelming. Less activity and more rest are in order, counter to our cultural norm of packing activities into summer.

If you're over 50, you've probably tried
NSAIDS, Arnica, CBD, glucosamine, MSM, chiropractic, dietary changes, and any other joint support you can find for your osteoarthritis. Sometimes you just need someone to put the big plan together for you. This is my expertise. Give me a call, I'm here to help.

"From the first day of use, all NSAIDs increase the risk of GI bleeding, myocardial infarction, and stroke." This is straight from the British Journal of General Practice. If you're using this for headaches or arthritis, I'll help you get a new plan. (credit SeleneRiverPress)

The adrenal stress hormones cortisol and DHEA are easily tracked using a 5 time-point salivary test. The most typical pattern of adrenal fatigue is low morning cortisol, a spike at 2-3 am, and a low overall DHEA. This results in a sluggish morning and awakenings during night, with low energy reserves. Sound familiar? I can get you tested.

How do you get a coronary CT (aka heart scan or calcium score), the best predictor of your actual risk of a cardiac event? Get your doctor to order one for you. I use Community Hospital in Grand Junction. Stay tuned for next week's newsletter with all the details on why this should be the gold standard.

By the numbers, men with any family history of heart disease have their highest risk of a health issue being cardiac (blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke), regardless of their lifestyle or diet. The very best risk assessment is a coronary artery Computed Tomography (aka heart scan), far better than a cholesterol panel. The CT shows the amount of calcium present in artery plaques, and therefore your actual risk of a cardiac event. Stay tuned, I commonly order this test for my patients and will be discussing it in detail in my next newsletter.
