Your clients are doing everything “right”—cutting carbs, eating clean, avoiding sugar—and their glucose looks perfectly fine. But they’re still dealing with brain fog, stubborn weight, fatigue, or high blood pressure. What gives?
In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie uncovers a hidden force that could be quietly derailing even your healthiest clients—an invisible saboteur that standard labs overlook. What if insulin is rising… even when blood sugar appears normal? If you’re not looking beyond glucose or questioning the usual markers, you may be missing the earliest whispers of metabolic chaos.
What You’ll Discover Inside:
- The Hidden Hormonal Spike That Labs Miss-
- Why some clients stay inflamed, tired, and stuck—despite “perfect” blood sugar levels.
- The Metabolic Saboteur in Your Protein Shake-
- How everyday foods could be quietly blocking fat burning.
- When Taste Alone Triggers Insulin-
- What you need to know about the cephalic phase response—and why it matters more than you think.
- Why Grazing May Be Keeping Clients Sick-
- How even low-carb snacks and meal combos can trap the body in a fat-storing mode.
- The Lab Marker That Changes Everything-
- One test (you’re probably not running) that reveals what glucose and A1C can’t.
