    Why Your Thyroid Treatment Isn’t Working—And What Your Brain Has to Do With It with Jennifer Swank

    You’ve done everything right. You’ve changed your diet, taken the right supplements, maybe even tried thyroid medications… but you still feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck. What if the real problem isn’t just your thyroid—but your brain? In this eye-opening episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo sits down with biochemist and mind-body expert Jennifer Swank to uncover the hidden role of the limbic system in thyroid dysfunction.

This is the missing piece no one is talking about.

    What if energy healing isn’t “woo-woo” at all—but actually rooted in physics?

    Lowering Hemoglobin A1C with Carbs

    Are you avoiding carbs like the plague, convinced they’re the enemy of metabolic health? What if cutting out too many carbs is actually making things worse? In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo exposes one of the biggest misconceptions in the keto community—the belief that all carbs are harmful.

Many people following a strict keto diet drastically reduce their carb intake, often to the point of avoiding nutrient-dense vegetables. While this may show short-term benefits, what does it mean for long-term blood sugar control, insulin sensitivity, and overall health?
