Attention Pet Parents: It's time to rethink and RESET. Our pets deserve better and this podcast is here to help you figure it all out!
Episodes
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.
Holistic vet Dr. Kristi Wilson shares her path from cancer survivor to TCVM practitioner—and how that journey reshaped her approach to animal care. We unpack bioresonance in plain English, what it adds to a whole-pet workup, and how she builds individualized vaccine plans (including titer testing and timing). Expect practical takeaways you can use with your own vet team: food therapy basics, nervous-system calming, and red flags th...
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). We cover common homemade pitfalls (iodine, manganese, vitamin E, choline, zinc), a simple vet checklist, and practical targets for balanced raw or...
Real enrichment without the guilt. West Paw’s Spencer Williams breaks down how to choose safe, sustainable, made-in-USA dog toys that actually work—Toppl, Qwizl, Seaflex, recycling/take-back, and freeze-food setups that calm energy, curb boredom, and protect the planet. As well as their commitment to sustainability and regenerative agriculture, something we absolutely love!
Your dog mirrors you. Kyle Kittleson explains how your stress shapes your dog’s behavior—and exactly how to fix it. We cover a 60-second owner reset, co-regulation, ABC analysis for reactivity, start-button/consent behaviors, and a 5-minute daily routine to build calm, trust, and reliable manners.

Itch, gut, allergies—stop guessing. Samantha Stupak (CBH Energetics / Pet Medella) breaks down how bioenergetic hair + saliva scans uncover food/environment sensitivities, microbial stressors, toxin loads, and nutrient/hormonal imbalances—then turn that data into a practical plan (diet upgrades, targeted remedies, environment fixes). We also tease an upcoming Pet Parenting Reset × CBH collab (Wild Wellness is born!)
ER-vet-turned-integrative healer Dr. Barrie Sands bridges science and spirituality—showing how HRV, HeartMath coherence, and outcome tracking make “woo” measurable in real pets. We dig into energy medicine, homeopathy, and practical protocols that calm the nervous system, reduce pain/anxiety, and support recovery—without bypassing good veterinary care. Actionable, grounded, and data-aware.
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.
Soulmate pets, reincarnation, and real-world signs—without the fluff. In this live roundtable, Lauren Becks and Karen Dendy Smith join me to unpack soul contracts with animals, how (and why) they return, and what authentic animal communication looks like. We cover grief without bypass, red flags vs. the real thing, and simple practices to stay connected to a pet who’s crossed—so you can honor the bond and move forward with integrit...
Fear-free, force-free, results-driven. Trainer Adia Washington (The Canines Consultant) shows you how to build your dog’s confidence—not compliance. We cover reading body language, setting thresholds, decompression, and simple games to fix reactivity, leash drama, and home manners—without fear, pain, or pressure.

Emergency rooms don’t have to be chaos. Dr. Zac Pilossoph—ER vet and Fear Free specialist—breaks down low-stress triage, handling, and pain control so your dog or cat stays calmer and safer. We cover what to do before you walk in, how to advocate in the moment, and red flags that truly need the ER.

I've started asking guests of the podcast what holistic means to them and I've gotten some interesting answers because we all have a but of a different viewpoint and understanding of what it means. There are certainly biases around how far down the rabbit hole we've gone and what we've experienced in our lives.
So this year at Super Zoo, I decided to ask the people I spoke with what holistic means to them. I lov...
In this episode, I give you the inside scoop from the AAFCO 2025 meeting. Short story: the rulebook is shifting, the FDA–AAFCO MOU is dissolving, and pet food labeling is still a maze built for manufacturers—not consumers. I break down what that shake-up actually means for your dog’s bowl—who writes the definitions, who enforces them, and where transparency falls apart.
I also call out the elephant in the room: there aren’t enough c...

There have been a lot of back and forth views lately in the holistic pet health space and we choose to give everyone grace to learn and grow and change their viewpoints.
That said, there is a big difference in an educator and an influencer and learning how to discern the information you're receiving from social media is a crucial part of life these days.
Kara from Raw Paw Adventures joins me on this weeks episode to discuss wh...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
