In this solo episode, I go deep into thyroid health, a topic that affects millions of people and pets, yet is often misunderstood and under-addressed. Drawing from functional medicine, nutrition science, and holistic health principles, this episode breaks down how the thyroid works, why dysfunction is so common, and how environmental, immune, and lifestyle factors play a major role. I go into the full thyroid hormone pathway, including the roles of TRH, TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, and why focusing on labs alone often misses the bigger picture. I also explore the differences between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease, and autoimmune thyroiditis, and why so many cases go undiagnosed (especially in pets). Finally, I share holistic strategies for thyroid support, including nutrient-dense nutrition, lifestyle considerations, herbs, mushrooms, adaptogens, nutraceuticals, and a discussion of pharmaceutical and glandular options for your more traditional treatments. I even give a few doses for nutraceuticals (for people).

Overview In this wonderful conversation, I sit down with integrative veterinarian Dr. Katie Kangas to explore the core modalities that bring the body back into flow. We unpack acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage as a powerful trilogy that restores nerves, circulation, and lymphatic movement, supporting not just mobility, but immunity, digestion, and whole-body communication. Dr. Katie then explains homeopathy as an ultra-safe, energetic “like heals like” approach that stimulates innate healing intelligence and can work within moments when it resonates with the client. We highlight Dr Katie's Remedies, including Tummy, for nausea, reflux, indigestion, and loose-stool prevention, along with detox tools like V-tox and V-tox R for post-rabies vax windows, and Dr. Katie's Dental Formula.

In this powerful and emotional conversation, I sit down with Kelly, founder of the 170,000+ member community Saving Pets One Pet @ a Time (The Original), to explore how heartbreak, advocacy, and education can change the future of animal health. Kelly shares the story of losing her beloved dog Duncan to contaminated commercial dog food, an experience that sparked her mission to educate pet parents and hold major pet food companies accountable. Together, Kelly and I unpack the crucial differences between conventional, holistic, and integrative care, both for pets and for people.

Welcome to season two of Raw Remedies! To kick off the new season, I welcome Sean Cahill, co-founder of Tvati. Sean shares the backstory about the creation of Tvati, a natural healing product derived from hibiscus bark and rooted in traditional Polynesian medicine. He discusses the scientific validation of Tvati's efficacy in treating injuries and enhancing recovery for both humans and animals, from professional athletes to show horses to those suffering from arthritis. We also delve into the sustainability practices in harvesting the hibiscus, the cultural significance of the product, and the company's commitment to community and wellbeing. Sean emphasizes the importance of education and authenticity in promoting Tvati, and why he considers himself a custodian of this ancestral medicine rather than just a CEO.

In this episode, I sit down with Isabelle Alvarez Arata to discuss the importance of professional pet sitting, especially in the context of pet anxiety and the challenges of moving. This is right on the heels of my NON professional pet sitter experience and trust me, it was a doozy! We explore the benefits of hiring a professional pet sitter, including their experience, tools, insurance coverage, understanding pet behavior and the need for proper care during stressful times. Isabel shares tips on how to find the right pet sitter and the resources available for pet owners, the importance of understanding the business model of pet sitters, the necessity of backup plans for emergencies, and the value of having a professional who is insured and experienced. We even get into costs associated with pet care services and the risks involved in using technology platforms like Rover and Wag. If you've ever had to hire a sitter, or even asked a friend or relative to sit for you, OR if you're planning on hiring someone for the near future, then this episode is for you!

In this week’s episode of the Raw Remedies Podcast, I sat down with Pam from Purrrfectly Holistic to dig into why so many pet parents are asking the wrong questions when it comes to their pets' health, why those questions might be keeping you stuck, and what you should be asking instead. Pam shares her five big categories of root causes for illness: Toxins (think flea meds, glyphosate, heavy metals)ParasitesTissue damage (like leaky gut or genetic predispositions)Nutritional deficienciesEmotional stress + traumaWe dive deep into why simply covering up symptoms won’t bring true healing for our pets—or for us. You’ll hear powerful stories about how stress, environment, and even our own energy can affect the animals we love. We even talk about “quantum entanglement” and why your anxious day might show up as your dog’s tummy upset. This episode is all about empowerment. You’ll walk away with tools, perspective shifts, and the encouragement to trust your intuition as your pet’s best advocate.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with holistic health advocate and founder of CBD Dog Health, Angela Ardolino, to unpack the myths, science, and life-changing potential of full spectrum hemp extracts (FSHE) for pets and people alike. We dive into the realities of conventional medicine- quick fixes like Apoquel and Cytopoint that may stop an itch but leave the immune system suppressed and vulnerable. I share Bear’s journey through endless antibiotics, antifungals, and pharmaceuticals before finding real healing through diet changes and FSHE. Together, we break down: 🌱 The Endocannabinoid System (ECS): The “master system” that keeps the body balanced but is ignored in conventional vet schools. 🌱 Full Spectrum vs. Broad Spectrum vs. Isolates: Why only full spectrum provides true healing synergy—and why isolates can even cause harm. 🌱 Safe & Effective Use: How bioavailability works (like applying hemp on the gums, ears, or paws) and why pets respond so well. 🌱 Conditions Supported Naturally: From allergies and arthritis to seizures, Cushing’s disease, anxiety, and even cancer—Angela shares real-life success stories. 🌱 Red Flags & Quality Checks: How to read a Certificate of Analysis (COA), what to look for in a trustworthy product, and why not all “CBD oils” are created equal. Angela also opens up about her own healing journey with rheumatoid arthritis, I share personal stories of replacing ibuprofen with hemp, and we both highlight how hemp and mushrooms are not “supplements,” but true food-based medicine.

Join me and Halle from Lonestar Pet Treats for a double topic discussion- the importance of small independent pet stores, and the dangers of Valley Fever. Halle shares her journey into the holistic pet space as first a pet parent, then an online small business owner, and finally the transition to her own small independent pet store! We get transparent about why indie pet stores care more about and do a better job of supporting individual pets, and how that can benefit you as the pet parent. Then we take a deep dive into Valley Fever, a fungal infection that can be as insidious as it is devastating. Halle shares her experience with this in pets, and I give my two cents about a similar fungal infection in people! We discuss how symptoms may prevent, the risks for contracting it, and finally holistic modalities that can be applied as both prevention as well as management.
