The Gaples Institute and its Executive Director, Dr. Stephen Devries, were featured in a Virginian-Pilot story about integrative approaches for controlling heart-related risks:
“…it’s a change that Stephen Devries believes in. The Chicago-area doctor has been a cardiologist for 25 years, the last 15 focused on using nutrition to treat heart disease. Last year, he gave up his practice to become executive director of the Gaples Institute for Integrative Cardiology. The idea of the nonprofit is to get more information to doctors about nutrition and about how to talk to their patients about it, and to serve as a resource for patients. “We aren’t trying to get people off medication but emphasizing a balance between the value of medication and the value of nutrition,” he said.
