“Spending the weekend with Dr. Ritamarie and other like-minded people was not only soul nurturing, but life changing with the level of information presented.”

I finally took control of my own health. I had been struggling with severe digestive and autoimmune issues for 14 years when I decided to leave my career and go back to school to study holistic health. I needed the detailed answers to the root cause of my often debilitating symptoms.

During my research, I came across Dr. Ritamarie’s SHINE Conference and I immediately knew I had to go; another piece of my puzzle. It was a perfect opportunity to learn from a doctor who had been successfully helping thousands of patients for many years.

There is something magical that happens when you find your people! Spending the weekend with Dr. Ritamarie and other like-minded people was not only soul nurturing, but life changing with the level of information presented. (It was also thrilling to finally hear Dr. Tom O’Bryan speak live.) I obtained a solid foundation and understanding of adrenal and thyroid dysfunction not only for myself but to better serve my clients in my own health coaching practice.

I would highly recommend the SHINE Conference to everyone. The information and handouts provided during Dr. Ritamarie’s sessions were outstanding. She gave such a wonderfully detailed binder, I have easily referenced back to it as needed. Dr. Ritamarie is incredibly kind, generous and a wealth of knowledge and experience. She is a true gift to all who have the opportunity to know and learn from her.

“After years of working with many different clinical practitioners who couldn’t get to the bottom of my life-long health problems… I dropped 65 lbs of fat (and I look better than I did in high school) but what’s better than that is that I am no longer at risk for diabetes.”

Holistic practitioners and health coaches: Do you ever secretly wonder if you have the skills to get real-lasting results for your clients and patients?

If you’ve ever doubted your healing abilities, you’re not alone. When I first got my acupuncture license, I felt like a fraud. It’s not unusual to only get incremental shifts in wellness for your clients when you’re first starting off.

What every holistic practitioner dreams of is to become so phenomenal at what they do that the referrals start streaming in.

This is why I want to introduce you to MY health coach for the past two years. Here is what she did for me (after years of working with many different clinical practitioners who couldn’t get to the bottom of my life-long health problems).

I dropped 65 lbs of fat (and I look better than I did in high school) but what’s better than that is that I am no longer at risk for diabetes.

She discovered the following problems during our work together:

[two_columns_1]

• leptin resistance
• candida
• borderline hypothyroid (not fully diagnosable on lab tests but still causing lethargy)
• methylation cycle mutations
• H. pylori

[/two_columns_1][two_columns_2]

• insufficient iodine
• leaky gut
• not just gluten intolerance but intolerance to ALL grains
• food sensitivities
• adrenal exhaustion[/two_columns_2]

The list goes on. One-by-one, we tackled these difficult problems and I am a new woman.

Now, Dr. Ritamarie has been practicing for over 20 years and she is the founder of the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology.

And it is so fortunate that she is now teaching other holistic practitioners and health coaches how to use the diagnostic and treatment protocols that have been responsible for major healing and lifestyle changes for so many people.

“Dr. Ritamarie is the best healer and teacher I know.”

“Dr. Ritamarie has an amazing depth of knowledge, strategies, and the ability to make things crystal clear — and she is so inspiring!!

The most valuable benefit of IRSPT for me was coming to terms with my own insulin resistance — I was in huge denial — and how acutely aware I am of how my clients need this work too. I really didn’t see that before.

Dr. Ritamarie is the best healer and teacher I know. I feel blessed to have found her.”

“It is so rewarding to have found a program that… can help spread the real truth when it comes to healthcare done the right way.”

My heart of hearts has always known that the only real way to help people gain true and deep healing is through proper diet and lifestyle and to bring the body what it really needs in order to maintain a harmonious balance. It is so rewarding to have found a program that has brought that type of knowledge to many other practitioners and can help spread the real truth when it comes to healthcare done the right way.

Dr. Ritamarie’s very detailed science knowledge and background and her ability to relate that information in a way that makes it very clear are absolutely the most valuable part of my experience with her.

I will be making sure that my patients/clients understand some of the basic science behind what they are doing and not just have them blindly following some diet or lifestyle changes because they have been told they need to. I feel that it is imperative for patients/clients to know that how and what they eat, how they exercise, and sleep are foundations for how well they are prepared to fully and energetically participate in their lives to achieve all that they wish.
