Ritamarie Loscalzo – Body Balance Formula

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

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.

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.

Your endocrine system is the master controller of your body, and your thyroid is one of its major glands. A butterfly-shaped gland located in front of the windpipe and just below the larynx, your thyroid’s job is to regulate your metabolism — or your body’s breakdown and conversion of food to energy. It does so by producing and releasing hormones, the most important of which are T3 and T4.

If your thyroid is under-functioning, you burn your fuel more slowly. You gain weight and feel sluggish. If it’s over-functioning, you may be thin and wiry with a rapid heart rate and increased agitation.

Thanks to exposure to modern-day toxins and a hectic, stressful lifestyle, about 200 million people in the world now have some form of thyroid disease. Thyroid disorders are four to seven times more common in women.
