Your pet feels your stress more than you think. In this episode of Too Curious MDs, Dr. Nadine Encarnacion joins us to explore the connection between our mental health and the physical and emotional wellness of our pets. Tune in as we dive into how animals often mirror their humans’ stress, illness, and environment, and how caring for ourselves can also help heal our furry family members.


Dr. Nadine Encarnacion is a licensed veterinarian and intuitive strategist who has spent over a decade on the front lines of veterinary medicine, from kennel attendant and emergency room team lead to a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine. Known for her keen pattern recognition, she weaves clinical expertise with trauma awareness and body-based intuition to spot what others miss in the exam room. She helps pet parents understand how their own stress, habits, and environments shape their animals’ health, teaching a form of ‘intuitive self-defense’ that includes reading the room, grounding the nervous system, and caring for the human–animal bond as a shared ecosystem.
