Body Balance Formula With Ritamarie Loscalzo

What You’ll Discover With This Immersive Training (and Coaching!)

Each module of this self-paced, 9-month program will be available as soon as you register. Dr. Ritamarie will be with you LIVE for coaching time and to answer your questions, twice a month — for a total of 18 live, interactive sessions. You’ll receive personal support and insights as you put the practices to work for you and your body.

Dr. Ritamarie is an expert in Functional Medicine — a biology-based approach centered on identifying and addressing the root cause of health challenges.

For the past 25 years, she’s been empowering individuals and health professionals to heal and re-balance the endocrine system, with a special emphasis on thyroid, adrenal, and insulin imbalances.

The trainings you’ll receive in this 9-month program include video and other digital resources. To begin the journey, you’ll join Dr. Ritamarie on March 6th, when she’ll walk you through the entire program and answer any questions you have.

Then, each module will build harmoniously upon the previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to create radiant health and wellbeing.

Module 1: The Happy Belly System

Research shows digestive health affects your energy and whole body. Do you experience chronic pain such as aching joints or muscles, bloating, or cramps? Or perhaps you have “foggy” brain after meals or mood swings throughout the day? (Most of your serotonin, a feel-good brain chemical, is actually found in your gut.)

Imbalances in your gut may make you depressed, forgetful, and unable to sleep well, even if you don’t notice any gut-related symptoms.

Furthermore, the health of your gut and the efficiency of your digestion play huge roles in your overall health and in your natural immunity to diseases.

When the balance of microorganisms in your gut is out of whack and the bad bacteria proliferate, they produce toxins, which can weaken your immune response.

In this 3-part module, you’ll discover a system and receive live coaching from Dr. Ritamarie to:

• Discover a diet of “gut-friendly” foods for your unique body
• Feel more energized after eating and throughout the day
• Experience a sense of calmness and clarity
• End mood swings and focus better
• Boost your immunity by healing and balancing your digestion
• Feel confident that you know exactly what to eat for a healthy gut

Part 1: Discover the Healing Power of Your Second Brain

Your gut is constantly sending messages to your consciousness, which is why it’s often called the “second brain,” and its healthy functioning is essential to truly holistic health.

You’ll discover:

• How to assess the function of your digestive tract, and why it’s critical to do so even if you don’t think you’re experiencing any digestive issues.
• The 4R process for healing your digestion: what it is and how to use it.
• The simple, at-home method to measure how effective your digestive system is.
• And more…

Part 2: Optimize Your Fuel Generator for Maximum Energy

The upper part of your digestive tract breaks down your food into usable nutrients that supply fuel to your cells. Join Dr. Ritamarie for a tour of your digestion from top to bottom — beginning with your mind and then moving into the health of your mouth and stomach.

You’ll discover:

• The intimate dance between your gut and your brain, and what you can do to maintain a healthy balance between them.
• A simple trick to ensure smooth digestion in the beginning of the digestion process.
• The secret to optimizing nutrition naturally — without supplements to provide your cells with fuel.
• How to heal your stomach so you optimize the breakdown of foods into nutrients to fuel your cells and maximize your energy.

Part 3: Boost Your Nutrient Absorption to Feel Amazing

You’ve likely heard of “leaky gut syndrome.” In technical terms, it means increased “intestinal permeability,” where the mucosal barrier in your intestine breaks down and can allow food particles and germs to pass into your blood.

Leaky gut syndrome can cause bloating, gas, abdominal pain, vaginal infections, food allergies, asthma, and mood swings. Leaky gut can put you at risk for serious conditions, such as migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune diseases like Lupus, Crohn’s, and Hashimoto’s.

You’ll discover:

• How to determine whether or not your gut is “leaky” and exactly what that means to you.
• The keys to soothing and healing your digestive tract lining.
• Ways to boost your absorption of the key nutrients needed for optimal energy and mental clarity.
• Which common, everyday foods may be toxic to your digestive system, and what to eat instead.
• And more…

Module 2: Stabilize Your Blood Sugar—Finding Your Sweet Spot

The human body is the most complex machine ever created. You have 12 systems — including digestive, immune, and cardiovascular — with 78 individual organs. Each one has its own cycle, and a kind of “biological harmony” it’s trying to maintain.

When one of these systems is out of order, it plays havoc on your blood sugar.

And yet, there is a different blood sugar “sweet spot” for every person. In this module, you’ll receive guidance to reset your metabolism. You’ll bring your blood sugar into balance and, in a short time, experience genuine relief of symptoms. Your energy and focus will improve, and your appetite will shrink — along with your waistline.

You’ll discover:

• Why blood sugar balance is critical for the optimal functioning of your entire body.
• How to measure your own blood sugar at home so you can make daily choices that keep you in balance.
• Guidance to reset your metabolism and increase energy and focus.
• Foods you need to reduce or avoid, and what foods you need to eat more of to keep your blood sugar in balance — and your waistline trim.

Part 1: Blood Sugar Foundations

Assess your blood sugar, and evaluate your condition, guided by Dr. Ritamarie. A set of quick-acting steps will bring your glucose level into the sweet spot, on your way to full health.

Part 2: The Fitness Factor

When people hear “exercise” they think of sweating buckets at the gym. You can activate your metabolism today with a few fun, gentle exercises that only take a few minutes per day. Dr. Ritamarie will show you how.

Part 3: Optimize Your Nutrition

Discover how to tweak your diet for your “blood sugar” triggers. Receive a delicious, personalized meal plan along with a list of therapeutic herbs that will help heal inflammation and prevent insulin resistance.

Part 4: Melt Away Stress

Stress is terrible for blood sugar. It spikes your blood cortisol, which amplifies your insulin resistance. Dr. Ritamarie will show you how to “short circuit” stress in minutes, purge cortisol, and rebalance your blood sugar.

Part 5: The Healing Power of Sleep

Your body is a bubbling cauldron of hormones. Get them working together, and you’ll be in the best health of your life. Let them slip out of whack, and you’re in for a rough ride. We’ll show you how to use the restorative power of sleep to keep in balance.

Part 6: Timing Is Everything

Circadian rhythms. Dietary cycles. Every cell in your body follows a specific pattern. You can’t afford to interrupt it. Discover the precise timing you need to follow for your meals, your exercise, and your sleep for optimal health.

Part 7: Your Metabolic Reset

It’s time to restore your hormone balance AND return your blood sugar to the sweet spot. In the last part of this module, Dr. Ritamarie will review what you’ve learned so far about blood sugar stabilization, and get you on the path of permanent healing.

Module 3: Repair & Rebuild Adrenals

Your adrenal glands have the job of keeping you safe in the face of danger… REAL danger. They’re responsible for inducing the “fight or flight” mechanism: racing heart, elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, and slowed digestion.

Since you don’t burn the sugar that has just been released to give you energy to deal with actual danger, the sugar gets stored as belly fat. Your digestion also shuts down (you don’t need to digest food when your real need is to escape the clawed clutch of a tiger).

If you’ve been in the alarm state for a while, your adrenals become too tired to respond. This weakens your immune system and can lead to insulin resistance, memory dysfunction, diabetes, and other illnesses.

Learn about the three stages of adrenal fatigue and how to determine which one you’re in — so you can refuel, recharge, and refocus in a way that fits your body and situation.

Part 1: Understanding & Nourishing Your Adrenals

Gauge the state of your current adrenal health, so you can create a customized plan based on what you need in order to restore balance… and reclaim your energy.

You’ll discover:

• Where your adrenals are and what they do, so you can begin learning how to nourish them.
• How to look at signs your body is giving
