  • The Vulnerability of Being Human: What Sudden Death Taught Me About Hidden Cardiovascular Risk

    The Vulnerability of Being Human: What Sudden Death Taught Me About Hidden Cardiovascular Risk
    Feb 25 2026

    A sudden loss can shake even the most grounded among us.

    In this deeply personal solocast, Dr. Ritamarie reflects on the unexpected death of a colleague in the natural health community and the vulnerability it surfaced. When someone who appears healthy dies suddenly, it forces a difficult but necessary question: what silent risks might be accumulating beneath the surface?

    This episode explores the quiet progression of cardiovascular disease, the limitations of standard lab panels, and why doing everything “right” is not the same as measuring what matters. Dr. Ritamarie shares her own experience with elevated lipoprotein(a), what she did in response, and why awareness is not fear, it is responsibility.

    If you are a practitioner, this conversation is a reminder to screen earlier and look deeper. If you are on your own health journey, it is an invitation to measure what matters before symptoms ever appear.

    What’s Inside This Episode?
    1. Why sudden death in “healthy” people feels different and what it reveals
    2. The silent progression of cardiovascular disease over decades
    3. Why standard cholesterol panels miss critical risk markers
    4. What lipoprotein(a) is and why most doctors never test for it
    5. How inflammation, insulin resistance, and endothelial dysfunction quietly accumulate
    6. Dr. Ritamarie’s personal experience lowering elevated Lp(a)
    7. Why genetics influence risk but do not dictate destiny
    8. The difference between helplessness and awareness
    9. What practitioners should be screening for now, not later
    10. A powerful question to ask yourself about hidden risk

In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, a double board-certified physician and expert in trauma biology, to explore the hidden impact of trauma on metabolism, immunity, and the nervous system. Dr. Apigian explains how unresolved trauma can trigger physical symptoms, including chronic illness.

    You’ll discover the biological processes that make trauma a root cause of illness, why the body keeps the score, and how trauma creates a feedback loop that keeps people stuck in their symptoms.

  • Food Is Not Just Fuel: How It Acts as a Metabolic Signal

    Food Is Not Just Fuel: How It Acts as a Metabolic Signal
    Feb 11 2026

    Most nutrition advice still treats food as fuel, calories to burn, macros to balance, energy to manage. The body doesn’t experience food that way.

    In this foundational episode, Dr. Ritamarie explains why food is first and foremost information, a powerful metabolic signal that shapes hormones, stress responses, inflammation, and repair, before calories are ever used.

    You’ll learn why rigid nutrition plans often fail, why the same food can produce opposite effects in different bodies, and how a nutritional endocrinology lens transforms nutrition from mechanical rules into physiological understanding.

    If you’ve ever followed a “perfect” diet and still felt stuck, or watched good food choices backfire, this episode reveals what’s really happening beneath the surface.

    What’s Inside This Episode?
    1. Why the calorie-and-macro model explains combustion, but not communication
    2. The signals every meal sends to insulin, cortisol, thyroid, and inflammation
    3. Why the same food can calm one body and stress another
    4. How timing, stress, and metabolic state change how food is interpreted
    5. The real reason rigid nutrition protocols stall progress
    6. What it means to match food choices to the body’s current priorities
    7. How nutritional endocrinology teaches you to listen instead of override
