Dr. Heather Kvitko-White discusses the fascinating world of pet nutrition, specifically focusing on the role of antioxidants in maintaining your pet’s health. Dr. Kvitko-White shares her journey from her internship at Purdue to her residency in small animal internal medicine at Texas A&M, where she discovered the importance of using natural remedies over pharmaceuticals.
The conversation kicks off with a discussion about the timeless wisdom of Hippocrates and the idea that "food is medicine." Dr. Kvitko-White emphasizes the benefits of incorporating antioxidants such as curcumin into pets' diets to combat chronic illnesses and aging. As the dialogue unfolds, listeners will gain insight into the balance of free radicals and antioxidants, and how vital this balance is for both pets and humans.
Expect plenty of questions from Janet and Alice as they explore the implications of antioxidant supplementation, the safety of various diets, and the importance of individualized nutrition for pets. From addressing common misconceptions about pet food to exploring the science behind dietary choices, this episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for pet owners looking to enhance their pets' well-being.
