  • Liver-Pancreas Crosstalk: The Silent Breakdown Driving Insulin Resistance
    Sep 17 2025

    What if the first signs of insulin resistance have nothing to do with glucose?

    In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie uncovers the hidden metabolic dialogue between the liver and pancreas. It’s a connection that begins to break down long before glucose or A1C raise red flags. Beneath the surface of “normal labs” lies a growing storm: insulin buildup, glucagon misfires, and early beta-cell stress that quietly unravel metabolic balance.

    If you're only testing blood sugar, you're missing the real story.

    Discover the overlooked markers that reveal the dysfunction most practitioners miss. This episode will change the way you view insulin resistance and give you the tools to catch it before the spiral begins.

    What’s Inside This Episode?
    • What most practitioners miss by focusing only on glucose, A1C, or symptoms
    • How to spot early-stage metabolic collapse while there’s still time to reverse it
    • Why blood sugar may be the last thing to change and what starts breaking down long before
    • The overlooked conversation between two metabolic powerhouses and what happens when it goes quiet
    • How hidden hormone signals spark a chain reaction of dysfunction no one’s talking about
    • The surprising reason some clients wake up with high glucose even on a “perfect” diet
    • Clues your clients are missing the mark, not because of willpower, but because of broken feedback loops

    • Why fatty liver disrupts insulin clearance and leads to silent hyperinsulinemia

    • The glucagon paradox: how this “forgotten hormone” can drive glucose production even in the fed state

    • Beta-cell stress decoded: how proinsulin and C-peptide ratios uncover hidden dysfunction

    • The truth about "normal" A1C—and why it may just mean the pancreas is compensating

    • What poor insulin clearance looks like—and how to spot liver stress using routine labs

    • How and when to use labs like proinsulin, fasting glucagon, and FIB-4


    Natural strategies to restore liver-pancreas harmony with fasting, circadian alignment, and targeted nutrients

  • The Hidden Hormone Imbalance Before Menopause Hits
    Sep 10 2025

    Hot flashes, mood swings, and brain fog. Too often, these symptoms are brushed off as inevitable signs of aging. What if these are your client’s early warning system of deeper hormonal chaos already underway?

    In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie sits down with hormone specialist and bestselling author Dr. Mariza Snyder to discuss the critical phase of perimenopause. Long before menopause sets in, subtle shifts in hormone function can disrupt mood, metabolism, sleep, and more.

    If you’re only testing estrogen and progesterone, you’re missing the bigger picture. This conversation challenges outdated assumptions and exposes the hidden patterns that masquerade as anxiety, depression, and burnout, so you can catch the real root cause before it’s too late.

    What You’ll Discover Inside:

    The Silent Phase That Sets the Stage

    Why the most critical hormonal changes start years before menopause and go unnoticed by most providers.

    The Missing Piece in Hormone Testing

    A key hormone marker that can reveal perimenopausal shifts early but is rarely measured.

    When Stress Becomes the Master Hormone

    How modern life drives the adrenal-hormone feedback loop and what to watch for in burned-out clients.

    The Blood Sugar–Estrogen Link

    Why metabolic balance is non-negotiable for hormonal balance and how to spot trouble before it spirals.

    What Most Practitioners Miss About HRT Timing

    The real risks of waiting too long and why “not yet” can be just as dangerous as “not at all.”

  • How Fatty Liver Triggers Insulin Resistance, And What to Do About It
    Sep 3 2025

    What if the first signs of metabolic breakdown aren’t in the pancreas or the blood sugar but hidden deep in the liver?

    In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie takes you inside the metabolic feedback loop few practitioners are trained to detect. Long before glucose rises or A1C shifts, subtle signals in the liver may already be pointing to a much bigger problem. They’re easy to miss, unless you know where to look. Discover the early biochemical whispers of insulin resistance, the hidden drivers of liver fat accumulation, and the lab markers most clinicians overlook. If your clients “look normal” on paper but still struggle, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip.

    What’s Inside This Episode?
    • The silent organ shift that can signal metabolic trouble before blood sugar ever changes

    • A hidden fat-making process your body might be running without your consent

    • How a sweet addiction quietly derails liver function and energy production

    • The overlooked lab markers that whisper metabolic distress long before diagnosis

    • A little-known score that could change how you assess “normal” labs

    • Simple but strategic actions that tip the scales from fatty liver to functional health

    • How small shifts in timing and nutrients may unlock powerful liver regeneration

    • Why stable glucose isn’t the full story, and the signal you might be missing
