In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, I talk about the truth behind the role of sugar and insulin resistance in cardiovascular disease, exploring the prevalence of insulin resistance, its detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system, and practical strategies for early detection and management. Get ready to rethink your approach to nutrition and lifestyle as we unveil the keys to protecting your heart and optimizing your overall well-being. Make sure to listen to the whole episode to learn more.Key Points:Prevalence of Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance, characterized by the inability of the hormone insulin to escort sugar into the cells, is widespread and underdiagnosed. Lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, exposure to toxins, and lack of sleep contribute to insulin resistance, which can lead to various cardiovascular complications.Effects of Insulin Resistance on Cardiovascular System: Insulin resistance damages the endothelium, leading to plaque buildup in the arteries. It also induces arterial wall thickening and stiffness, increases blood pressure, and disrupts lipid metabolism, contributing to atherogenic conditions and increasing cardiovascular risk.Need for Early Detection and Intervention: Detecting pre-insulin resistance and insulin resistance before they progress to diabetes is crucial for preventing cardiovascular complications. The symptoms, the side effects, the negative things that can happen with diabetes start decades before diabetes is diagnosed. Education and awareness about the risks associated with high glycemic foods, inadequate sleep, and chronic stress are essential.Important ReInvent Healthcare Links Sign up to access Dr. Ritamarie's FREE Functional Food Guide here.Join my Fasting While Feasting Program here.Access Additional Resources for Practitioners ready to improve clinical outcomes through our Nutritional Endocrinology Practitioner TrainingVisit the ReInvent Healthcare site to check out other podcast episodes and resources to support you in empowering your clients health recovery journeys

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, we explore the difference in protein in various diets. So many people are debating which type of diet is best, but what are they actually comparing? We'll explore the various aspects of different diets, what we should be looking at when discussing diets and the needs of our clients, and considerations to use in order to get the best results for our patients and clients. Listen to the full episode to learn more. Key Points:Nutritional Superiority of Plant-Based ProteinsPlant-based proteins offer a denser nutritional profile compared to animal-based proteins. They provide a broader range of essential nutrients, antioxidants, and phytochemicals per calorie, supporting overall health and disease prevention.Environmental Impact and SustainabilityPlant-based proteins are more environmentally friendly and sustainable than animal-based proteins. They contribute to a lower environmental footprint by reducing land use, resource consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting their ecological benefits.Customization and Health ConsiderationsThere is no “one size fits all” when it comes to protein intake. Although animal-based proteins are not discouraged, plant-based diets are a great source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals for optimal health. Personalized dietary approaches prioritize whole, organic plant foods as well as the health needs and culture to ensure adequate nutrient intake and address individual health needs.Important ReInvent Healthcare Links Sign up to access Dr. Ritamarie's FREE Functional Food Guide here.Access Additional Resources for Practitioners ready to improve clinical outcomes through our Nutritional Endocrinology Practitioner TrainingVisit the ReInvent Healthcare site to check out other podcast episodes and resources to support you in empowering your clients health recovery journeys

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, we examine the world of proteins and their role in human health. From building tissues to supporting immune function and enzyme activity, proteins are indispensable for our well-being. We'll explore the various aspects of proteins, including their sources, essential amino acids, and considerations to use in order to get the best results for our patients and clients. Listen to the full episode to learn more. Key Points:The Role of Proteins in the BodyProteins serve as the fundamental building blocks of the human body, playing a myriad of vital roles in health and function. They are needed for the construction and repair of various tissues, including muscles, bones, skin, and the lining of the digestive system. Moreover, proteins form the foundation of enzymes, necessary for biochemical reactions crucial for digestion. Additionally, proteins contribute to the synthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters, and transport molecules, underscoring their diverse and indispensable functions in maintaining overall health and bodily processes.Understanding Amino AcidsProteins, constructed from a complex array of amino acids, encompass 20+ identified variants, categorized into essential, non-essential, and conditionally essential types. While essential amino acids must be consumed in the diet due to the body's inability to produce them, non-essential amino acids are synthesized internally. Understanding individual amino acid requirements is important, accounting for factors such as impaired metabolic pathways, genetic predispositions, and overall health conditions, allows us to create nutritional strategies to optimize well-being and address specific needs effectively.The Power of balanced Protein IntakeWhile animal proteins are commonly perceived as complete sources of protein, plant-based alternatives offer substantial nutritional advantages. Foods like lentils, lupini beans, broccoli, and kale not only provide notable protein content but also contribute additional essential nutrients to a balanced diet from vitamins and minerals to fiber. Functional practitioners should evaluate protein requirements considering individual factors such as activity level, body weight, metabolic health, recent illnesses or injuries, and dietary preferences, striving for an intake that is optimal without being excessive. By incorporating diverse plant protein sources into clients' nutritional plans, practitioners can promote overall health and wellness effectively.Important ReInvent Healthcare Links Sign up to access Dr. Ritamarie's FREE Functional Food Guide here.Access Additional Resources for Practitioners ready to improve clinical outcomes through our Nutritional Endocrinology Practitioner TrainingVisit the ReInvent Healthcare site to check out other podcast episodes and resources to support you in empowering your clients health recovery journeys
