What if you could detect heart disease before symptoms appear, before the first stroke, before the fatal heart attack, before the diagnosis? In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie sits down with Joseph Ence, founder of Vasolabs, to explore a powerful and underused cardiovascular screening tool.

Most people think normal labs mean a healthy heart, but that’s a dangerous myth. In this episode, we expose why standard tests often miss the earliest signs of cardiovascular disease and what you can do instead. Whether you're a practitioner or on your own healing journey, this is the kind of root-cause strategy that puts the power back in your hands.

1. Why 50% of people with heart disease never know until it's too late
2. The test that shows early arterial plaque… before labs say there’s a problem
3. How vascular age is calculated and what it reveals about true risk
4. What Joe saw in his own arteries that triggered a major health transformation
5. Why showing patients their own plaque may be more powerful than any lab result
6. The critical difference between soft plaque and calcified plaque and how to track both
7. When normal cholesterol and blood pressure still mean you're at risk
8. Why sugar is the most dangerous (and overlooked) drug for your arteries
9. What every practitioner needs to know about Lp(a), homocysteine, and oxidized fats
10. How you can bring this tool into your clinic (or find someone nearby who offers it)

For over 20+ years, Joseph Ence has been dedicated to helping people take control of their heart health. After discovering plaque in his own arteries and losing 84 pounds, Joe's mission became personal. He now creates clear, visual reports that empower others to understand their heart health and take proactive steps toward a healthier future. His goal is simple: to give people the tools they need to live longer, healthier lives. When Joe started Vasolabs, he knew he wanted to create more than a business—he wanted to build a community. His approach is rooted in education, empowerment, and making advanced heart health diagnostics accessible to everyone. By offering non-invasive CIMT scans, expert telemedicine consultations, and tailored health plans, Joe and his team help people understand their risks and make informed decisions.

What if your client’s “normal” labs are hiding mitochondrial breakdown, immune dysfunction, and early insulin resistance? In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie exposes why the standard lab panels so many practitioners rely on are failing and walks you through the functional markers that actually reveal root-cause imbalances.

You’ll learn how to detect early metabolic imbalances, what markers to prioritize for inflammation and detox stress, and how to combine genetics with advanced testing to create truly personalized healing plans. This episode will help you connect the dots and become the practitioner who sees what others miss.

1. Why “normal” CBC, CMP, and lipid panels rarely explain fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain
2. The 3 types of dysfunction standard labs always overlook
3. Critical immune and mitochondrial markers to catch early burnout and chronic inflammation
4. Functional ranges and “gray zone” patterns that reveal trouble before red flags
5. How genetics can guide smarter test selection (even without expensive panels)
6. Overlooked tools for catching methylation, detox stress, and early insulin resistance
7. Why GGT, uric acid, and homocysteine might be your most powerful early-warning tools
8. How to interpret functional trends over time and avoid falling into the “normal trap”

What if the path to healing begins with rebellion?

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo takes you deep into the radical idea that transformation doesn’t begin with protocols but with  questions. Too many people accept dismissive diagnoses, symptom-suppressing prescriptions, and “normal” lab results that overlook early signs of metabolic dysfunction. This episode is a call to action for practitioners to help their clients rebel against the status quo and reclaim authority over their health.

You’ll discover how to recognize the red flags conventional medicine misses, how to empower clients to speak up, and how to use root-cause strategies that go beyond symptom management. If you’ve ever had a client say “my doctor said everything looks fine” while their body clearly says otherwise, this is the episode that arms you with the mindset and methods to change that narrative.

• How blind trust in the healthcare system can lead to missed diagnoses and worse
• Why “normal” lab ranges are anything but normal for vibrant health
• The early metabolic signs that signal disease before symptoms appear
• Dr. Ritamarie’s personal story and why she’s made it her mission to help others question everything
• The truth about firing doctors, advocating for better labs, and demanding answers
• The role of the practitioner as a health detective, not a protocol pusher
• Why personalized, root-cause healing requires rebellion
• How to teach clients to tune into their bodies and take ownership of their health journey

• How spike protein becomes the "final straw" for an already stressed system
• The difference between whispers and shouts in client symptom history
• Why standard immune testing often gives false negatives

• The metabolic mechanisms linking insulin resistance to nerve damage
• The three types of neuropathies every practitioner should recognize
• Functional labs that detect root causes
• The hidden role of vitamin deficiencies and genetics in nerve symptoms
