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.
