Ronald L. Peters, MD, MPH, Integrative Medicine
Get to know Integrative Physician Dr. Ronald L. Peters, who serves the population of Scottsdale, Arizona.
Ronald Peters, MD, MPH has 30 years of experience in nutritional biochemistry and holistic health care. He has studied with Master teachers, leading to an understanding of the formative power of the conscious and unconscious mind, which he summarized in his ground-breaking book, Edgework: Exploring the Psychology of Disease: A Manual for Healing Beyond Diet and Fitness (2003). Edgework reviews mindbody research, points to the power of emotions and beliefs on the body and redefines the human stress response into an ally by marking inner boundaries for personal growth. His approach to patient care is to restore the natural wisdom of the body and then assist patients in changing the lifestyle and mind-style factors that contribute to illness. Dr Peters has had successful medical practices in California and Oregon.
