Dr. Pamela Cipriano

Dr. Pamela Cipriano began her career as a certified critical care nurse. In 2011, she became an acute care nurse practitioner, working as a hospitalist and intensivist. Recognizing the need for quality preventive healthcare, she earned her doctoral degree in 2016. Her dissertation, titled “Preventing the Progression from Prediabetes to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus,” focused on effective strategies to halt the transition to full-blown diabetes, utilizing dietary and lifestyle modification. Although the research had inclusion/exclusion criteria, outside the research she used the same modalities for patients with diabetes. Each patient reversed their diabetes using the antiinflammatory diet designed by Dr. Cipriano and incorporating lifestyle modification. Dr. Cipriano became the first nurse practitioner in Connecticut to establish an independent practice. After her son’s delayed Lyme disease diagnosis, she joined ILADS, training with Lyme disease expert Dr. Richard Horowitz. Today, she specializes in Lyme disease, co-infections, chronic inflammatory conditions, and preventive medicine, helping patients regain health beyond medication alone.
