What if your clients’ metabolic struggles weren’t just related to insulin, cortisol, or diet but a deeper, overlooked hormone that bridges the gap?

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie pulls back the curtain on one of the most underestimated players in metabolic function: oxytocin. You’ll discover why this “feel-good” hormone is far more than a bonding chemical and why ignoring it could mean missing a key piece in your client’s healing.

If you aren't factoring in connection, community, and nervous system regulation, you might be overlooking one of the most powerful metabolic modulators nature has to offer.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
