498. Fix your Pet's Health and Help Them Live Longer with Simple Steps

This episode is all about stepping up our game when it comes to the care and well-being of our furry family members with Dr. Ruth Roberts. I'm talking about taking a functional medicine approach to mend and maintain the health of our pets. We all know they’re practically our children and deserve nothing but the best to keep them thriving. Dr. Ruth and I dissect the basics, from feeding our pets whole, natural foods to keeping their gut health in check and their detox pathways clear and efficient. You might find yourself as surprised as I was to learn the impact of the everyday kibble might just mimic chomping down on Doritos – not exactly the gourmet meal we aim for! And hey, it's not just about what goes in. There's more to it; like identifying the signs of inflammation, hypothyroidism in pets, and let’s not forget the all-important impact of our own energy and stress on our beloved animals. Yep, our pets mirror us in ways you wouldn’t believe, taking on our stresses and filling the role of a barometer for our own well-being. Let’s also chat vaccines: the whys, the what-fors, and what sensible steps to take. We wrap it up with getting intentional about our approach to pet health, making thoughtful choices backed by Dr. Ruth's wisdom. Connect with Dr.
