And yet, armed only with that information, remember, she did not HAVE breast cancer…she went under the knife anyway, as a preventative measure.

Recently I did a teleseminar for my Vital Health Community on the subject of Nutrigenomics, which is a fancy word for how food and nutrition can affect (both positively and negatively) our genetic predispositions.

What Angelina was not aware of, or her doctor did not make her aware of, was the fact that genetic testing can be used to show, yes, risks, but most, if not all of them can be mitigated beforehand, through diet and lifestyle changes, as well as nutritional support that could have kept her healthy for many years to come…and lengthen her life naturally.

I know it is entirely possible to overcome any genetic predispositions because I am living proof. I have already outlived my mother, who died at 56 on my 35th birthday. I share those same genetic risks. And yet, I have made different choices, and have spent the last two decades empowering others to do the same.

The important thing to remember here is that the information is not to be feared. You can use the data in your genetic profiling to empower yourself. Remember, as one of my favorite authors says:

“We are not the product of our genes.”

While we realize today that there is no fountain, still we seek the special potions, powders and creams that promise getting rid of wrinkles, reversing age spots and firming our sagging rear ends.

Most of these potions and pills end up draining our bank account, and leaving us feeling duped and doomed to move through aging kicking and screaming. The original “snake oil” salesman was probably promising the fountain of youth in a bottle.

SO what’s fact and what’s fiction in the world of longevity research?

Many people know that hormone imbalance is a major issue.  Our stress levels are at an all time high, and this causes our hormones to misfire, false fire, or not fire at all in the elegant way that our bodies are designed to do.

Do you feel exhausted from “daily life” and would love even a day to re-charge your batteries?

Did you know that there are ways to take a “mini-vaction” without ever leaving home?

Would you like to know how to quickly enjoy the benefits that we look for in a vacation, without all the financial obligation and stress of traveling?

Believe it or not, you can take a mini-vacation without ever leaving home! It sounds crazy but it’s true…and Dr. Ritamarie will prove it in this unique and inspiring show.

The value of taking a break and unplugging is immense, and includes– adrenal support, nutrient balance, positive effects on the brain, immune system, balancing hormones, and so much more.

One interesting discovery in recent years is Heart Math (see how I put it to the test myself in that clickable post that began a 30-day transformational journey) – which is clinically shown to reduce blood pressure, balance neurotransmitters, improve learning, and many other wonderful benefits.

According to researchers at the Institute of Heart Math, published in a paper called “The Appreciative Heart: The Psychophysiology of Positive Emotions and Optimal Functioning” by Rollin McCraty and Doc Childre, “Positive emotions have been demonstrated to improve health and increase longevity, increase cognitive flexibility and creativity, facilitate “broad-minded coping” and innovative problem solving, and promote helpfulness, generosity, and effective cooperation.”

Join Dr. Ritamarie, as she delves into some cutting edge, and scientifically proven techniques on this very special and powerful show.  You really can create a mini-vacation for yourself, no matter what might be going on for you right now.

Do you love or even like the person you see in the mirror every day?

What types of things do you say to yourself the most frequently (your self-talk)?

Would you like to know some powerful ways to quickly transform your self-image from defeated to powerful?

Laura Fenamore knows about suffering. After an abusive and traumatic childhood, she went from being overweight, bulimic, eating from garbage cans and struggling with herself to releasing over 100lbs and keeping it off for over 25 years! Today she has helped hundreds of women do the same. How, you might ask?

By becoming aware of the “story” she was telling herself for years, and by consciously choosing to change that story, so that the old story (which seemed real and insurmountable) actually dissolved. She has made it her life’s mission to help others do the same, with innovative techniques and coaching that makes the process (which she discovered and created out of sheer desperation) of permanent transformation not only achievable, but unique to each and every person.

Laura had to let go and release in order to become whole again. No longer fragmented, she now shares the knowledge she gained with the OnePinky community. Laura helps women attain healthy weight through healthy body image.

Join Dr. Ritamarie, as she interviews Laura on this very special and powerful call.  Your life really can change, no matter how bad it seems at the moment.

Are you aware of the main culprits that are sabotaging your heart health?

Would you like to know some easy ways to heal and protect your one and only precious heart?

After suffering the devastating loss of her parents prematurely due to heart issues, Dr. Ritamarie was determined to find ways to overcome her hereditary proclivities. In the process, she not only learned how to protect her own heart (and yours), but discovered some startling, lesser-known facts about heart health.

Just as the heart itself has many chambers, the approach to heart health is multi-layered, but completely “doable” in the real world (that’s the good news). Most people know about the food element of heart health: avoid bad fats that raise cholesterol, and increase good fats that lower cholesterol.

However, there is another sneaky food element that most people have no idea is so detrimental to their hearts (that’s the bad news, but not anymore after this show). Dr. Ritamarie reveals and explains what this every day food element is, and why it is so bad for your heart. She then will give some real-world tips for how to heal and protect your amazing heart.

Yet many times we are trying to create new healthy habits (the potential HOW), but when we try to do it without being committed and knowing the WHY behind it…it’s very hard, nearly impossible. Does this sound like you?

The reason it is so hard and almost always results in failure is because you are trying to put new habits on an old mindset.

But when you have a compelling WHY, it is so much easier to do. You can have the energetic fuel you need to do whatever it takes to start that new business, build more meaningful relationships, sculpt your body, take up lessons or a new hobby…or any host of other goals and dreams you may hold as desires in your heart. But before you can determine your WHY, you must ask yourself this question:

If not now, when?

You can’t go back in time, time moves forward not backwards. In this call Dr. Ritamarie will teach you what she has learned and applied in her own life about how to connect deeply to that inner yearning and desiring to DO, no matter what it takes…because the rewards are so much better than stagnation and spinning your wheels. I’ll share with you two of my favorite quotes:

“To know and not to do is really not to know.” ~Stephen Covey

“When you create a powerful enough why, the how makes itself known to you.” ~unknown

If you have a powerful enough WHY, you will do it. The how will present itself. Dr. Ritamarie can promise you that, as she is living proof!

We do what we have to do, and it becomes easier when we become deeply connected to the outcome that we desire.

Join Dr. Ritamarie, as she takes you through some of her own “rubber meets the road” situations where she tapped deeply into her WHY and did what it took to create the real life outcomes that brought her to where she is today.
