What happens when you run functional testing on your own dog, not because something is wrong, but because you believe in being proactive? That's exactly what I did with my own pup, Bernard. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what I found, what didn't work, what I did next, and how following the data led me to a hidden mold problem in my own home that was affecting both of us.In this episode we cover:Why I ran functional lab testing on Bernard proactively (and why you don't have to wait for a crisis)Why his levels went up after detoxing, and what that actually meantThe importance of retesting (this is the step most people skip!)How I stayed curious instead of frustrated when the protocol "failed"How I found odorless, invisible moldBook your 1:1 nutrition consultation todayBook your 1:1 holistic in home visit todayWatch this episode on YouTube
Feeding a large dog homemade food can feel overwhelming financially.And yes, it is an investment.But in this episode of The Non-Traditional Veterinarian®, I challenge pet parents to think about nutrition differently:not as an expense… but as a deposit into your dog’s future health span.Because what I often see is this: people avoid investing in nutrition now, only to spend the same amount, or far more , later through chronic disease management, medications, repeated vet visits, allergies, GI issues, orthopedic disease, pancreatitis, or even cancer care.We talk about:Why feeding large dogs homemade can feel intimidatingThe real cost of poor nutrition over timeThe “high-yield savings account” analogy for proactive healthThe “high APR credit card debt” analogy for chronic diseaseWhy prevention often feels expensive until you compare it to disease managementWhy nutrition compounds over time, positively or negativelyHow better food may help support mobility, inflammation, gut health, energy, skin, and longevityWhy investing earlier usually creates better long-term outcomesThis episode is NOT about perfection. It’s about intention and perspective.Because every meal is either helping build resilience…or contributing to future wear and tear.And sometimes the cheapest option today becomes the most expensive option later.Helping pets live better and longer starts with what goes in the bowl.

What if the reason your pet still isn’t thriving… is because you’ve only been given part of the picture?In this episode of The Non-Traditional Veterinarian, I’m talking about one of the biggest patterns I see in integrative and conventional pet care alike: stopping diagnostics too early.Routine bloodwork matters. Microbiome testing can be incredibly valuable. Intolerance testing can provide important clues. But many pet parents unintentionally stop at the first layer of information, hoping they’ve found the answer, only to realize months later that symptoms return, progress plateaus, or a bigger diagnosis eventually appears.We discuss:Why “normal bloodwork” does not always mean optimal healthHow surface-level testing can create temporary reassuranceWhy pets with chronic allergies, GI issues, inflammation, itching, ear infections, behavior changes, or low energy often need a deeper investigationWhy new diagnoses (including things like cancer or autoimmune disease) can seem to appear “out of nowhere”The role of microbiome, toxins, nutrition, mineral balance, inflammation, and lifestyle factors in long-term healthTrue wellness often requires looking deeper than the surface.Because sometimes the question isn’t:“Did we run diagnostics?”It’s:“Did we run enough of the right diagnostics to truly understand what’s going on?”Follow along for more integrative pet health education and behind-the-scenes insights from a non-traditional perspective.Links:Book your 1:1 nutrition consultation todayBook your 1:1 holistic in home visit todayWatch this episode on YouTube

Cooking for your pet? This episode is for you!Home cooking can be one of the most powerful ways to support your pet's health, but there are a few common mistakes, or let's call them "gaps" I see over and over again that can quietly hold pets back from truly thriving.In this episode, I break down the three biggest gaps I see in home cooked diets and explain why they matter inside your pet's body.What we cover in this episode:-Why not rotating ingredients impacts your pet’s gut microbiome-How unbalanced macros affect energy, skin, and overall function-The hidden risk of micronutrient deficienciesIt’s not just about feeding fresh food, it’s about feeding a complete and intentional diet.

Let's have an open and honest look at the growing conversation around peptides in pets.Lately I've had quite a few pet parents parents asking about peptides.I share my stance on them, and why I am not using them.This episode is a reminder that not being familiar with something doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value, it simply means knowing where your scope begins and ends.In this episode:• How to think critically if you’re considering peptides for your pet• Why addressing root causes matters more than layering in new therapiesOne of the biggest takeaways: if we’re not addressing the underlying cause of inflammation or disease, adding therapies, whether peptides, supplements, or medications, is like filling a bucket with holes in it.If you’ve been wondering about peptides, this episode will help you think through your next steps with clarity and confidence.Links:Book your 1:1 nutrition consultation todayBook your 1:1 holistic in home visit todayWatch this episode on YouTube
In this episode of The Non-Traditional Veterinarian, we’re breaking down one of the most talked-about integrative therapies right now: ozone therapy.After attending a recent conference, I walk you through what ozone therapy actually is (and what it’s not), how it works in the body, and where it’s showing up in real clinical cases, from chronic ear infections to arthritis and gut health.Whether you're a pet owner exploring alternative options or a veterinary professional curious about integrating ozone into practice, this episode gives you a clear, grounded understanding without the fluff. What You’ll Learn-What ozone therapy actually is and why it’s not just “air purification”-How ozone works as a biological response modifier-Common conditions where ozone is being used in veterinary medicine-Different ways ozone can be administered-Conditions Commonly Supported with Ozone Ozone therapy fits really well into a root-cause, whole-body approach, especially for pets dealing with chronic inflammation, recurring infections, or when conventional options aren’t giving clear answers.It’s not about replacing conventional medicine. It’s about expanding the toolbox and using the right tool for the right patient.Enjoyed This Episode?Share it with a fellow pet parent or veterinary professional who’s ready to think beyond the conventional approach.Links:Book your 1:1 nutrition consultation todayBook your 1:1 holistic in home visit todayWatch this episode on YouTube
What do you do when your dog reacts to everything… food, environment, even everyday life? That was "Jake".In this episode I’m joined by Jake’s mom, Carla, to share his story, a case that was complex, frustrating, and at times felt like there were no clear answers.Jake struggled for years with chronic GI issues, allergies, vomiting, and constant flare-ups that didn’t fully resolve despite trying multiple approaches.This conversation isn’t just about what Jake was dealing with, it’s also about what happens when you stop accepting cookie-cutter answers and start looking deeper on a personalized level.What shifted when we began approaching Jake’s health through a more intentional integrative lens.From food sensitivities and gut health to environmental factors like mold and toxins, this episode highlights how chronic symptoms are often layered, and why true healing takes time, patience, and a different way of thinking.Most importantly, we share what Jake is like now, and why progress doesn’t always look linear, but can still be incredibly meaningful.In this episode, we cover:• What Jake’s health looked like before we started working together• The emotional toll of managing a chronically sensitive dog• Why “normal” test results don’t always mean optimal health• The role of diet, gut health, and environmental factors• How small changes created meaningful shifts over time• What Jake is like today• Advice for pet owners who feel stuck or frustratedIf your dog has ongoing gut issues, allergies, or symptoms that never seem fully resolved, this episode will likely resonate with you.
