Over the course of my life, I’ve been interested in the aging process and have focused on helping people utilize their body’s ability to heal itself. I grew up as the son of an MD and RN in Grand Junction, but chose training as a Naturopathic Doctor at Bastyr University in Seattle, the preeminent institution of naturopathic medicine in the United States. Like allopathic doctors (MDs), I have completed four years of postbaccalaureate education before earning my ability to practice as a Naturopathic Doctor. While MDs focus on medications and surgery, as a naturopath my clinic training focuses on preventing disease, promoting wellbeing, and prescribing therapies designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. Through naturopathic medicine, I provide the tools to re-establish the foundation of your health, utilizing the most non-toxic, non-invasive methods possible. As a naturopathic doctor, I believe in and employ an organic and whole-foods diet, plenty of fresh clean water and sunlight, restful sleep, regular exercise, emotional/spiritual health and deep healing through plant medicines.
"Dr. Leptisto listened carefully to the concerns I had, asked several relevant questions, and worked with me to determine a good path forward to address those concerns. He suggested several supplements and dietary changes. A month later when I visited again, I was clearly progressing towards my health targets. We continue to work to monitor changes and progress, with my clear health goals now seemingly in reach."

"After a discussion with Dr. Lepisto, he had me take a blood test to determine how I reacted to an array of food antigens. From the results, Dr. Lepisto made recommendations using natural supplements for me to take and dietary changes to my food intake. This approach worked and today I feel great. Along the way, Dr. Lepisto also helped me with my sleeping patterns and my anxiety levels. I greatly appreciate the help he gave me and I thank Dr. Lepisto."

"I needed help with energy level. He fixed it. Do yourself a favor and go see him the next time you don’t feel well. You won’t regret it."

"Having lost faith in traditional medical practices - as they often treat the symptoms with medications but seldom look at the underlying issues; I was looking for a doctor who would work with me to help me regain my health. Dr. Lepisto took the time to listen to me and my concerns about my health. He spent an hour a half with me on my first visit and sent me home with a treatment plan. I recommend Dr. Lepisto - to get healthy using natural remedies and products which help the body heal while addressing the underlying cause."

"Dr. Lepisto listened carefully about the pain I am enduring in so many muscles in my body. Also, my problem getting restful sleep. I also have problems with depression. I am very impressed with Dr. Lepisto. He seemed genuinely interested in what the problems were and how to correct them. Didn't push me to take in an overflow of information at once. He is very informational. A very nice and helpful. And, I found him quite reasonably priced."

"First visit was impressive. It was like he already knew what my problem was and tackled it, then and there, with prescribed diet changes and natural medicines to clean my body and start the process of repairing my body. I have greatly improved, and with each visit, he will diagnose and tweek my treatment plans and natural medicines. Dr. Lepisto is conscientious and very knowledgeable, and this has led me to getting on the road to recovery. I can see hope in my future."

"Dr. Christopher is a great to work with. I have used him for years to focus on my nutritional and support needs...naturally. It is extremely helpful to have him on my side when I am trying to sift through all the fad and false info we are bombarded with daily. Overall, he's a great asset in my health and wellness challenges."
B.S.
"While allopathic doctors generally treat symptoms, a naturopath tends to be preventive in nature. They try and find the cause. I highly recommend Dr. Chris. Both my wife and myself – he’s our primary doctor. We go to him first."

"I needed help with chronic sinus infections and possible surgery necessary. I've been seeking help for this condition for years, and with one visit, I feel Dr. Lepisto gave me hope that we will be able to, at the very least, reduce the number of infections but possibly eliminate them altogether."
