In this week’s episode of the ReInvent Healthcare podcast, Dr Ritamarie explores the effects of food on metabolic health, and how nutrients can support insulin receptors in people with metabolic disorders. This episode delves into functional food and various ways of increasing the metabolic system. By focusing on insulin sensitivity and increasing nutrients like chromium, magnesium, and DHA docosahexaenoic, you can learn how to support insulin resistance in diabetes, balance blood sugar by healing insulin receptors, and to return your client to metabolic wellness.
