Most people think neuropathy shows up after a diabetes diagnosis. But in reality, tingling, numbness, or burning in the hands or feet often shows up years earlier.

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, I explore the deeper drivers of neuropathy, beyond what conventional medicine typically considers, and share how to identify and address them before lasting damage occurs.. You’ll learn how to spot the red flags and how to apply targeted strategies to halt or reverse nerve damage.

If your patients are complaining of unexplained nerve symptoms, or you’re experiencing them yourself, don’t wait. These are clues. And when you know how to read them, you can intervene early and change the trajectory of metabolic decline.

• The metabolic mechanisms linking insulin resistance to nerve damage
• The three types of neuropathies every practitioner should recognize
• Functional labs that detect root causes
• The hidden role of vitamin deficiencies and genetics in nerve symptoms
• Clinical clues that distinguish neuropathy from carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, or toxicity
• Functional interventions: diet, exercise, supplements, and antioxidant therapies that restore nerve health
• Nutrients that accelerate repair
• Lifestyle and stress‑management strategies that promote regeneration and protect mitochondria

Peptides are everywhere right now, in social media, practitioner circles, and supplement protocols. But are they really the solution for autoimmune and gut healing… or just another overhyped tool?

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo is joined by functional health experts Steph Jackson and Jennifer Whitmire to explore how peptides may support gut repair, reduce immune reactivity, and help stabilize autoimmune clients.

They don’t hold back. This is a grounded, real-world conversation about how peptides actually work, when to use them, how to layer them into gut programs, and when not to waste your money.

• What peptides really are and which ones actually support gut and immune healing
• When peptides might help restore tight junction integrity and reduce leaky gut
• The real risks: growth promotion, poor absorption, and overreliance
• Why “jumping on the peptide bandwagon” can backfire if root causes aren’t addressed
• How to time peptides with food, supplements, and protein intake
• Oral vs. subcutaneous vs. intranasal delivery—what the research actually says
• Items like dosage, pulsing, retesting, and client readiness
• Why peptides should support and not replace your root-cause solutions
• The power of true gut and autoimmune repair

What if your patient’s blood sugar looks “okay,” but their kidneys are already under attack?

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie uncovers the common progression of kidney damage fueled by insulin resistance and elevated glucose. Most practitioners miss the early clues. And most patients never feel symptoms… until it’s too late.

Discover the early biochemical markers, the overlooked tests, and the clinical action steps you can take now to prevent progression to fibrosis, dialysis, and even renal failure.

• The silent mechanisms linking insulin resistance to kidney scarring and decline
• Why normal creatinine and BUN may be misleading and what to test instead
• Which labs signal decline before patients show symptoms
• The food patterns and protein levels that support vs. stress the kidneys
• Targeted botanicals, nutrients, and fasting strategies for protecting kidney function
• How to approach intermittent fasting, inflammation, and oxalates with nuance
• When medications like SGLT2 inhibitors or ACE inhibitors may be protective
• The practitioner’s role in prevention, education, and root-cause reversal
