Raw Food Delivery Get a yummy weekly delivery made by the amazing Chef Karen Osborne. This week’s order has to be in by October 24th. Wait until you see her mouth-watering menu! Tip of the Week:
Being prepared reduces temptation!
Staying healthy while on the road does not have to be complicated
or stressful, but it does require some preparation.
Make sure you bring some of these items with you and you will always be ready to have something super healthy: green or protein powders, chia seeds, a jar (preferable mason) to mix your drinks in, and small packages of nuts and seeds to sprinkle on salads.
So while your family or travel companions reach for the coffee or doughnuts at the gas station or at the airport , you will be able to have a quick, satisfying snack and experience vibrant energy and total clarity. A total opposite of what you would feel like if you have given in to sugar and caffeine.

A Busy Week of Health Inspiration!
 Hi Health-Seeker,
It’s been quite a month and it feels so good to be back home and in my own space.
After getting freed from my bionic arm brace last week, I’ve added a few firsts: first run in almost 6 weeks, first weight lifting session using my left arm in almost 10 weeks and first candy bar blood sugar spike in a long time (read about it in feature article).
There’s a lot going on here and it’s very exciting.
If you’re a health practitioner or strive to be a health or nutrition coach, I am having a live event just for you January 10-12, 2014 here in Austin, Texas. We’ll be sending out details as soon as we get the confirmation from the hotel. The name of the event is S.H.I.N.E. – Scientific and Holistic Investigation of Nutritional Endocrinology. It’s a mouthful, and will focus on strategies for solving your client’s (or your own) hormone imbalances using functional medicine and whole foods nutrition. I am very excited.
I’m also excited about the GMO summit that starts this Friday. If you haven’t registered yet, please do so right away here.The safety of our food is at risk and you owe it to yourself to get all the info you need to protect yourself.
Don’t miss my Google Hangout this afternoon, where I’ll answer questions, discuss ways to improve your energy and share with you a very special recipe. I can’t wait to connect with you! Here’s the link:
Hangout With Dr Ritamarie TODAY at 1 pm Central Time
My Talk on how adrenal fatigue effects fertility is today, and I am doing a live “Q&A” with Bridgit Danner, founder of the Joyfully Pregnant Online Summit this afternoon.
Read all about the webinar my friend and colleague Phyllis Books is doing tonight for concerned parents to assess their kids for signs of dyslexia.
Wow. It’s quite a busy week!
Plus, the first official B4 Be Gone call is Thursday evening, October 24th at 7:30 pm CDT, where a couple of hundred people will gather to be guided to balance their blood sugar:
Read the feature article for a wake up call about why blood sugar balance is so important.
Last but not least, we’re doing it again. We are opening the VITAL Healing Kitchen Show on Saturday, October 26 for public viewing and it’s going to be a winner. I’ll be sharing how to balance your omega 3 fats with omega 6 fats to avoid the common and dangerous effects of imbalance.

I look forward to “seeing ” you this afternoon and on Saturday, plus on Thursday too, if you are a B4 Be Gone member. Big Hugs and lots of Appreciation,
Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo
 I Ate a Candy Bar the Other Day!My blood sugar shot up to 155!
Healthy fasting blood sugar is around 80.
Diabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood sugar goes to 120 or above and is 140 or above after eating.
My blood sugar shot up to diabetic range!
And it stayed that way for several hours…
It was still higher than usual by the next morning —it was 106, which is considered insulin resistance territory.
With my family history of diabetes, insulin resistance, heart disease and cancer, what I did was downright dangerous.
By now you must be thinking “why the bleep did she eat a candy bar then? “ Well, the candy bar eating was actually not really related to food after all….  Interpretation of Hemoglobin A1C Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measures the percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) that are saturated with glucose. Saturation of RBCs occurs when blood glucose is elevated. The higher the HbA1c, the higher the estimated average blood glucose. HbA1c is generally considered to be correlated with the average blood glucose over 2-3 months.
The higher the average blood glucose, the more damage that’s done to delicate blood vessel linings, retinal tissue and microvasculature of the extremities and retina. Damage to these are contributors to all the complications that diabetics face.
Out of control diabetes usually correlates with HbA1c of above 7, which correlates with an average blood glucose of 154 or more. I’ve had patients with levels of 10 or more, suggesting that their average blood glucose is 240 or higher. Doctors consider their diabetic patients to be well controlled when their HbA1c is is between 6 and 7. (126-154) Yet study after study demonstrates serious damage to vasculature, retina, pancreas and nerves when blood sugar exceeds 120. Some studies report damage when glucose rises above 100!
So what’s an ideal HbA1C? Most functional medicine practitioners aim for between 4.5 and 5 (average glucose between 82 and 97).
If you’re working with clients and you would like them to have the advantage of balanced blood sugar, get their HbA1C tested. They can order through Direct Labs.
