In this episode, I’m joined by two extraordinary guests who are transforming the way we think about pet health. 

Dr. Linda Brent is a primatologist, the Executive Director of the Parsemus Foundation, and a pioneer in hormone-sparing sterilization methods for pets. She has dedicated her career to advancing innovative medical solutions for animals and humans alike. 

Dr. Ruth Roberts is a holistic veterinary expert with over 30 years of experience. Known as “The Original Pet Health Coach,” she specializes in integrative care, including Traditional Chinese Medicine and her revolutionary CrockPET Diet™, which has helped thousands of pets live healthier lives.

Together, we explore the critical role hormones play in pet health and how traditional spay and neuter procedures can impact their well-being.  This episode sheds light on hormone replacement therapy and alternative sterilization methods that could revolutionize veterinary care.

Key Highlights:

  • Expert Perspectives: Dr. Brent’s advocacy for hormone-sparing sterilization and Dr. Roberts’ holistic approach to chronic disease management in pets.
  • Personal Stories: How hormone replacement therapy transformed the lives of Pax and Toby, improving mobility, behavior, and overall health.
  • Innovative Solutions: Exploring alternatives like vasectomy, ovary-sparing spay, and supralorin implants for managing LH levels and preserving pet health.
  • Testosterone Therapy Protocols: Weekly injections for male dogs to restore hormonal balance.
  • Estriol-Based Treatments: Effective solutions for female dogs with incontinence issues.
  • The Complete CrockPET Diet Kit: A holistic diet plan designed by Dr. Ruth Roberts to optimize pet nutrition and overall health.
