Despite their name, fatty acids are essential for optimum health. Fatty acids are required to retain healthy lipid levels in the blood. They are also necessary for proper clotting and regulated blood pressure. Commonly known as the "omega's" fatty acids are acids produced when fats are broken down. They are considered “good fats.” These acids are not highly soluble in water, and they can be used for energy by most types of cells. Join Dr. Ritamarie as she dishes out the skinny on these fatty acids.   

Hormone imbalance is a very REAL problem, and, guys, we're NOT just talking female stuff here. In addition to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, insulin, cortisol, leptin and the thyroid hormones are all part of your endocrine system, and need to be balanced for you to experience good health. Your endocrine system can either make or break you. When it's finely tuned and humming along, you feel great. Get it out of balance and your whole world turns upside down. Stress, poor diet, environmental toxins, improper meal timing, inefficient digestion and genetics are all key layers in creating imbalances in your body chemistry, especially hormone imbalances. When your hormones get out of whack, you suffer. Organic, whole, fresh and living foods are phenomenal for healing and rejuvenation, yet there are times when just changing your diet doesn't take you far enough. Join Dr. Ritamarie for this powerful episode on hormones and how you can begin to make changes to get your hormones back in balance.

A common recommendation for people suffering with blood sugar imbalances and attempting to reduce weight is to eat frequent, small meals throughout the day. The idea is that eating every couple of hours keeps your blood sugar levels steady without the dips (and severe hunger that accompanies those dips). In theory, you’ll eat less if you never let yourself get hungry enough to overeat. Recent hormone research tells us that this is actually the worst way to eat for blood sugar balance and weight loss and can actually be damaging to your health.Join Dr. Ritamarie and find out how small meals could actually be causing insulin resistance...and leading to belly fat. Dr. Ritamarie will share even more life altering strategies for overcoming belly fat, brain fog, burnoout and blood sugar imbalances on her soon to be released new video series and temeseminar, "Five Cutting Edge Strategies to Balance Your Blood Sugar so you can  Melt Your Midline, Sharpen Your Focus, and Recharge your Energy." http://www.ByeByeBloodSugarImbalance.com

Digestive problems are practically an epidemic in today’s world of fast food, antibiotics and hormone fed meat. Low energy, digestive troubles, brain fog and sinus problems are just a few of the many health woes people suffer. Health starts and is maintained in the gut. According to Hippocrates, ‘the father of medicine’, “All disease begins in the gut.”  Digestive disorders are more than just a nuisance. They are downright dangerous. Chronic gut issues can contribute to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, suicide and a host of other serious conditions. So how do you know if you have digestive issues that need attention?  If you’re bloated, gassy or have gut pain, it’s obvious. This week, Dr. Ritamarie reveals the less subtle symptoms of digestive issue and the root cause behind them. It's not what you think!

Undiagnosed food allergies, even to highly nutritious foods like broccoli or blueberries, can induce immune responses that leave you ill. Here are some scary facts: According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) approximately 3 million children under age 18 suffered from food allergies in 2007.  And the incidence is rapidly rising. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology reports that more than half (54.6%) of all U.S. citizens test positive to one or more allergens and food allergies affect approximately 6% of young children and 3 to 4% of adults in the US. And these are the diagnosed cases.  Many instances of food allergies go undetected, manifesting as chronic symptoms that don't respond to conventional approaches. If you're tired of being tired, unfocused, and uncomfortable, or if you're sick of the weight that just won't budge despite your best efforts, you owe it to yourself to explore whether food allergies are contributing to your ill health. Join Dr. Ritamarie and learn how to become energetic, happy, and productive once more.
