We all talk about how food impacts our physical health, but how often do we talk about the mental link as well? The truth is that what you eat influences your mood, your mental clarity, and so much more. In today's episode, Dr. Conor Brady, who holds a doctorate in the effects of nutrition on the behavior & gut morphology of mammals, tells us all about the link between what we eat and its impact on our brain.

Raw Remedies - Natural Health for People and Pets
02/06/25 • 61 min
Proper nutrition via a species appropriate diet is the foundation of EVERYTHING, impacting every aspect of health. Dr. Cathy Alinovi has known this for many years and it's the basis of her current practice at Healthy PAWsibilities Natural Pet Wellness Center. She's also a big advocate for transparency and carving out space in the pet food industry for the 'little guys', and I'm so glad we have her in our corner as executive director of Next Generation Pet Food Manufacturers Association – the only trade association that represents fresh pet food.

Regenerative ranching could save the cattle industry and our health with Melissa & Dakota of Solfed Ranch
Raw Remedies - Natural Health for People and Pets
02/27/25 • 53 min
Regenerative ranching isn't as difficult or expensive as mainstream media makes it out to be- instead it just might be the single most effective way to reign in the contributions to global warming from conventional and feedlot cattle raising practices! Not only would it decrease those emissions, it's also more ethical, cleaner for the cattle and the environment, and results in a much better nutritional profile of the animal which we then consume.
In addition, I'm excited for Melissa and Dakota to introduce Solfed Ranch and their brand new 100% grass fed and finished raw beef blend for dogs, formulated by none other than ME! Please note that I reveive no profits or compensation from sales of their products. I'm simply excited to announce that an excellent new recipe for our dogs is soon to be on the market, so be sure to get on their wait list today (links below).

Melissa Boland is the founder of 4 Legger, a company dedicated to creating USDA certified organic pet grooming products. Melissa shares with us her personal journey of loss and transformation, which led her to prioritize ingredient transparency and safety in pet care. Our discussion highlights the importance of educating pet parents about the potential dangers of conventional grooming products and the environmental toxins that can affect both pets and humans. Melissa also introduces the Pet Shampoo Ingredient Database, a resource aimed at helping consumers make informed choices about pet grooming products, and we play some ingredient trivia! At the end, I asked Melissa if she could share any details about her upcoming collaboration and new product launches with CBD Dog Health, but she held strong! However since this episode is airing a month after our recording, their new products are officially OUT, and you can see a link at the bottom- I highly recommend checking them out because I am in love.

Green Juju has helped create a new, innovative product that has the benefits of fermented foods, minus the actual food, through Wild Fermentation!

Using herbs, hugging trees, and a natural approach to GERD with Rita Hogan
Raw Remedies - Natural Health for People and Pets
01/23/25 • 60 min
Let's be honest here, if you have a conversation with an herbalist and one of you DOESN'T talk about hugging trees, were you even talking to an herbalist?!
All jokes aside, this conversation with Rita was a fun one and I love her approach to promoting wellness through nature and everything the earth has to offer. From herbs to energetics, Rita is so skilled and passionate about what she does and is such a wealth of knowledge.
You'll hear us discuss the top chronic conditions our beloved furry family members face, some approaches to GERD which is an issue I've been seeing so predominately lately, and tidbits about plant intelligence. And of course, in true animal lover style, we kick things off by chatting for a few minutes about the farm that Rita not-so-slowly growing, chickens and all!
