This week I have two of my absolute favorites in the holistic pet space- Jae and Adrienne of the Two Crazy Cat Ladies! We dive deep about the often-overlooked needs of cats, particularly in the realm of nutrition and holistic care. We touch on feline behavior, providing enrichment, and the challenges of transitioning cats to a species-appropriate diet. We have a detailed conversation about common health issues faced by cats, particularly focusing on hyperthyroidism. We talk about the impact of environmental chemicals, the dangers of canned food packaging, and the issue of low-quality fish being so prevalent in cat recipes. I'll tell you how you can recognize symptoms of hyperthyroidism, what to ask for in terms of lab testing, and the benefits of natural remedies for our kitties. The conversation wraps up with some fun trivia about cats, so make sure you stick around until the very end! And if they weren't already amazing enough, Jae & Adrienne are offering my listeners 10% off any purchase through the end of May 2025 with code RAWPAW which can be entered into the coupon code bar at checkout!

This pilot is a brief introduction about myself, my pets, and my background in human and animal health services. You'll learn what my medicine specialty was before I realized that functional medicine is where I was destined to plant my feet and grow as a provider. You'll hear about the chronic conditions my pets suffered from before I turned to natural remedies, which allowed them to overcome those issues. And if you're watching, you'll see three of my furry beasts climbing on me and rattling the camera! Welcome to Raw Remedies podcast, I hope you'll enjoy this short intro.

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.
