Dr. Ritamarie's Vibrant Health Solutions Radio Show

It’s not often difficult getting rid of the cancer…The problem is keeping it gone.” – Thomas Lodi, MD If just eliminating the cancer was the solution, then the cure rate for cancer would be significantly higher. We all have cancer cells in our bodies. When you create an environment that feeds those cancer cells, they grow and multiply. The key is to stop making cancer by creating an environment that kills cancer. Joining Dr. Ritamarie for this ENCORE presentation…the first (and most popular) of a two-part series, is world renowned expert, Thomas Lodi, M.D. For the first ten years of his medical career, Dr. Thomas Lodi worked in conventional settings as an internal medicine specialist, urgent care physician, and as an intensivist in ICU and CCU departments of various hospitals. Dr Lodi continued his search for more effective and less toxic therapies by training around the world from Japan to Europe to Mexico and all around the US.

So detox is incredibly important, on the physical level. Many people are also aware that sometimes the symptoms of a deep or even mild detox can range from a mild headache to flu-like symptoms, and they adjust accordingly, understanding that they will go away in time. However, detoxification goes beyond more than just the physical.  The areas that tend to really shock people are when the mental and emotional and even sometimes spiritual detox symptoms appear. For example, did you know that the liver is the main detox organ and in Chinese medicine it is the emotion of anger?  So people are surprised to find that while detoxing they become angry and irritable. Join me for another cutting edge blog talk radio show as I shed some light on the intense emotions that can come out from the major organs of detox, including the liver, kidneys, colon, large intestines, and the lungs, as well as ways to relieve the symptoms and have an easier, more holistic cleanse. Learn: What emotions are attached to which detox organs (liver, kidney, colon, large intestine, lungs)  Ways to offset unexpected emotional detox symptoms so that you don’t get derailed A scientifically proven tool for body-mind-heart connection that works for any emotional state, quickly. Different people are at different places when they choose to detox. That is why I created a program that is customized from mild to deep depending on the individual’s needs.

By now most people have heard the shocking news about Angelina Jolie's drastic decision to have a double mastectomy, and potential upcoming hysterectomy. Why did she decide to do such a radical thing? Did she have breast cancer? The answer is no. She discovered she had the BCRA gene, which indicates a higher risk of potentially getting breast cancer. And yet, armed only with that information, remember, she did not HAVE breast cancer...she went under the knife anyway, as a preventative measure. Recently I did a teleseminar for my Vital Health Community on the subject of Nutrigenomics, which is a fancy word for how food and nutrition can affect (both positively and negatively) our genetic predispositions. What Angelina was not aware of, or her doctor did not make her aware of, was the fact that genetic testing can be used to show, yes, risks, but most, if not all of them can be mitigated beforehand, through diet and lifestyle changes, as well as nutritional support that could have kept her healthy for many years to come...and lengthen her life naturally. What latest research and resources on genetics and nutrigenomics tells us  An inexpensive and comprehensive resource that you can order today, to assess your risks Why the results are not to be feared, but used to help you make empowering health and lifestyle choices Nothing can quick start your energy quite like a proper system cleanse.

Do you love or even like the person you see in the mirror every day? What types of things do you say to yourself the most frequently (your self-talk)? Would you like to know some powerful ways to quickly transform your self-image from defeated to powerful? Laura Fenamore knows about suffering. After an abusive and traumatic childhood, she went from being overweight, bulimic, eating from garbage cans and struggling with herself to releasing over 100lbs and keeping it off for over 25 years! Today she has helped hundreds of women do the same. How, you might ask? By becoming aware of the "story" she was telling herself for years, and by consciously choosing to change that story, so that the old story (which seemed real and insurmountable) actually dissolved.

Do you have a family history of heart disease? Are you aware of the main culprits that are sabotaging your heart health? Would you like to know some easy ways to heal and protect your one and only precious heart? After suffering the devastating loss of her parents prematurely due to heart issues, Dr. Ritamarie was determined to find ways to overcome her hereditary proclivities. In the process, she not only learned how to protect her own heart (and yours), but discovered some startling, lesser-known facts about heart health. Just as the heart itself has many chambers, the approach to heart health is multi-layered, but completely “doable” in the real world (that’s the good news). Most people know about the food element of heart health: avoid bad fats that raise cholesterol, and increase good fats that lower cholesterol. However, there is another sneaky food element that most people have no idea is so detrimental to their hearts (that’s the bad news, but not anymore after this show). Dr. Ritamarie reveals and explains what this every day food element is, and why it is so bad for your heart. She then will give some real-world tips for how to heal and protect your amazing heart.

Dr. Ritamarie talks often about nutrition, exercise, sleep, supplements, etc. Today she is bringing in a new component to the health equation: Play.
