| 28 Dec 2024 | Pilot episode- Who am I, and why am I here? | 00:10:36 | |
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. | |||
| 02 Jan 2025 | Revolutionizing the approach to oral health with Dr. Emily Stein | 01:00:36 | |
On today's episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Dr. Emily Stein, the founder of Teef Health (for pets) and Primal Health (for people). Her technology is revolutionizing the way we think about oral health and how we approach dysbiosis (disruption of the microbiome) of not only the mouth, but throughout the entire body. A healthy immune system starts with a healthy digestive system, and the first stop on the digestive tract train is the mouth! | |||
| 09 Jan 2025 | Transforming our space and our skin with Project Sudz | 00:48:50 | |
Our external environment is just as important as our internal environment, which means that what we use on our skin and in our home matters. Janine, the founder of Project Sudz, is here to explain why, and how she's taken that knowledge and turned it into some amazing products for your dogs, your cats, and yourself! | |||
| 16 Jan 2025 | The incredible link between nutrition & behavior with Dr. Conor Brady | 01:18:31 | |
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. We also touch on the negative impact of Big Pharma, tips on transitioning pets to fresh food, and mention a little bit about the bird flu issue. | |||
| 23 Jan 2025 | Using herbs, hugging trees, and a natural approach to GERD with Rita Hogan | 01:00:07 | |
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?! | |||
| 30 Jan 2025 | Oils & Omegas- the Good, the Bad & the Ugly | 00:56:13 | |
This week's episode was a ton of fun, and originally an Instagram live with Jess Fisher of The Pet Parenting Reset! We all know that oils and omegas are a hot topic, controversial, and honestly one of the more difficult things to really suss out in terms of safety and efficacy. Hopefully this episode will answer those burning questions you've had, and I strongly encourage you to check out my blog article that I wrote as a companion to this podcast episode!

| 06 Feb 2025 | The impact of nutrition on every aspect of health with Dr. Cathy Alinovi | 01:01:52 | |
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.

| 13 Feb 2025 | Using ancient soil to combat the effects of glyphosate with Rebekah from ION | 00:54:14 | |
Leaky gut and chronic GI issues seem to be their own pandemic lately, but the truth is that the damage has been slowly accumulating for many years! With the dissemination of glyphosate in the 1990s, we've seen a dizzying increase in the occurrence of GI issues, autoimmune conditions and more, and the link cannot be ignored. Luckily, companies like ION (Intelligence of Nature) have done the research and offer an ancient answer to this modern problem... | |||
| 20 Feb 2025 | Taking a holistic approach to chronic disease with Krysta Fox & Bruce the pug! | 01:03:12 | |
Chronic disease management can be exhausting, confusing and frustrating, espeically when only taking the conventional approach. Unfortunately western medicine focuses on suppressing symptoms which can make the underlying condition worse over time, rather than supporting the body based on the expression of disease in order to maintain wellness as much as possible. Krysta goes deep into her management of Bruce's chronic conditions that she's been handling for 10 years, far exceeding the expectations of those who told her he wouldn't live more than a year past his initial spinal injury in 2014! Her trials and tribulations have taught her so much, and now she brings that knowledge to you and your fur baby. https://www.instagram.com/pugandhoundpetapothecary/ | |||
| 27 Feb 2025 | Regenerative ranching could save the cattle industry and our health with Melissa & Dakota of Solfed Ranch | 00:53:35 | |
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).

| 06 Mar 2025 | Bringing the variety of nature back inside through Wild Fermented Probiotics with Billy Hoekman | 00:56:17 | |
I believe that fermented foods are a foundational component of a fresh food diet, but not every animal is able to tolerate or is willing to eat them if you include them in the dish. Green Juju has helped create a new, innovative product that has the benefits of fermented foods, minus the actual food, through Wild Fermentation!

| 10 Apr 2025 | Supporting health across the lifespan with Sean from Earth Buddy Pet | 00:47:17 | |
In this episode, Sean Zyer and I discuss the benefits of colostrum and glutathione for pets, specifically their roles in immune support and overall health. We also get deep about the importance of quality of life for pets, especially as they age, rather than quantity of life- essentially prioritizing health-span over life-span. Sean shares a personal story about his beloved pup that is super heartfelt and really resonated with me since, as a Nurse Practitioner, I work in the critical care area of the hospital where end of life discussions are very important!
