The Skeptical Naturopath

with Dr. Paul Ratte & Laura Poe Mathes, RD

2nd Sunday at 12:00PM

Welcome to The Skeptical Naturopath. Meet Dr. Paul Ratté, a naturopathic doctor and associate professor at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN. His journey into the world of naturopathic medicine began during a trip to Japan in 1990, where he

reclaimed his digestive health from the clutches of irritable bowel syndrome through dietary changes. Along this unexpected path, he rediscovered his childhood wish to become a doctor
and fulfilled it by becoming a naturopathic doctor in 1997.

Over the past 26 years, Dr. Paul has accumulated extensive knowledge in both medical science and the art of clinical practice. Blessed with the opportunity to share his expertise with students
and patients, he remains committed to validating the distinctive health journey of each individual and guiding their narrative toward a path of optimal health.

What sets Dr. Paul apart is his ongoing quest for critical thinking and healthy skepticism. He believes in a thorough examination of all possibilities to ensure a well-rounded perspective. As he often quotes from a sculpture titled The Writer’s Desk, “If the three most difficult words to say in the English language are, ‘I was wrong,’ then perhaps the next in line is, ‘I don’t know.'”

Join us as we delve into the insights, experiences, and skepticism of Dr. Paul Ratté.
