In this episode we are joined by the innovative duo, Dr. Dave Latorra, co-founder of DNA is Love, and former hospice worker Stephanie Ford. Together, they delve into the profound concept of connecting with our loved ones—both human and animal—through DNA preservation.


Dr. Latorra explains how this unique service allows pet and human owners to create personalized keepsakes using DNA samples, turning memories into tangible treasures. From exquisite jewelry to picture frames, these heartfelt creations ensure that the essence of our loved ones can be cherished for generations.


Stephanie shares her inspiring journey from hospice work to helping people retain the memories of their loved ones. With her background in caregiving, she emphasizes the importance of memory preservation and the emotional comfort it provides.


Throughout the conversation, we explore the science behind DNA, the emotional connections we share with our pets, and the innovative ways to honor those who have passed. Join us as we laugh, share touching stories, and discuss how a simple swab can lead to lasting memories.
