The Pet Parenting Reset

The Water Episode with Cydian Kauffman: why EPA standards fail pets (and women) and what to do about it. We break down the worst offenders—PFAS, fluoride, chloramine, heavy metals—and map a practical plan: how to read your local report, when to use reverse osmosis vs. carbon/KDF, and how to remineralize so hydration actually helps. Plus pet-specific protocols (bowls, daily changes, travel water, mineral support) you can start today...

Do mushrooms help “doggy dementia”? In this episode, I sit down with Carter from CBD Dog to unpack their senior dog study on Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD)—what they tested, what changed, and how you can use it. We cover the mushroom blend (think Lion’s Mane + supportive allies), study design and real outcomes (orientation, sleep, anxiety, engagement), how to dose and stack with food, and simple lifestyle tweaks that make the b...

Is your dog missing the one ingredient that unlocks better energy, gut health, and skin? In this episode with Geoff Bowers of Totoniks, we dig into bioavailable trace minerals (plus the fulvic factors that boost absorption), signs of deficiency, how to dose, and how to stack it with real food for visible results. Simple, safe, no fluff—just what actually moves the needle. I've already seen a huge improvement in my dog, Kim!

Big Pet Food went “fresh” in 2025—but is it fresh or just fresh spin? Lauren from Girls Gone Raw joins me to unpack the year: acquisitions, new gently-cooked lines, and the synthetic additives already backfiring in big-box “fresh” foods. We break down what to watch for on labels, how to spot real food vs. marketing, and smarter upgrades you can make today.

Liver support, done right. I sit down with Sean Zyer (Earth Buddy) to unpack glutathione—what it is, why dogs burn through it, and how liposomal delivery actually improves absorption.

If your dog is slowing down, stiff after play, or just not moving like they used to, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Tvati’s founder and Dr. Katie Kangas to unpack a truly holistic approach to mobility—no band-aids, no hype. We get into what Tvati is, why it’s so simple (hibiscus oil + MCT), how it’s used, and the real-world changes Dr. Kangas is seeing in practice.

Panic helps no one. In this episode, Kara and I rip through the pet emergency mistakes that make things worse—and the integrative, fear-free steps that actually help.

Fast, practical, no fluff... with REAL experiences that Kara recently had during and after her move acros...

If your pet feels worse every time you “detox,” you’re not crazy—you’re skipping the steps that make detox safe.

In this episode, Dr. Marlene Siegel lays out a no-BS roadmap so you stop chasing symptoms and start clearing the mess the right way.

In this episode, I sit down with Jason Donas of Venjenz to break down what it really means to heal dogs naturally—beyond kibble, quick fixes, and symptom-chasing. We get into transfer factors (what they are and how they support immune intelligence), gut health as the control center, and where targeted detox support (including zeolite) can fit into a real-food lifestyle. We also talk openly about the failures of the conventional sys...

Stop guessing. In this solo episode, I introduce Wild Wellness Pet and our bioresonance hair + saliva kits—a root-cause scan for dogs stuck in the itch–gut–allergy loop. I’ll break down what the test actually reads (food/environment sensitivities, microbial + toxin stress, nutrient imbalances), and why this approach saves you time, money, and your sanity. If you’re ready to move from symptoms to source, this is your roadmap.

Homemade or commercial—if you’re not meeting energy needs, you’re starving the micros. Vet Dr. Susan Recker breaks down energy requirements, why “feeding less than the bag” makes synthetic-balanced foods micronutrient-deficient, and how to fix DIY diets with Animal Diet Formulator (ADF).

This is NOT political. This is about our food, our water, and access to nature and natural remedies. 

I've been trying to contain my thoughts and emotions for nearly two weeks now, and the best I can come up with is a sadness for humanity accompanied by hope. To keep that hope alive, we have to speak up. No more silencing ourselves. Food, water, medicine ... these are NOT political. They should not be political.
