I sit down with Mariah Pierson, founder of Paws of Prey, to discuss the healing powers of nutrition for our furry companions. Mariah shares her journey into pet nutrition, including raw vs. cooked food, sample meal ideas, and why raw meat doesn’t pose the risk many believe. Mariah also explains why organs are vital, how to safely transition your pet to a species-appropriate diet, and her stance on vaccines, titers, nosodes, and common preventative meds. If you're a pet parent seeking real health answers, this is the episode for you.

Mariah Pierson has been passionate about animals since childhood, fostering small wildlife, owning exotic pets, and dedicating her life to their wellness following a personal pet loss. Mariah combined her research in canine, feline, mustelid, and erinaceid nutrition with her veterinary experience to start Paws of Prey, a YouTube channel to share her knowledge.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
