We're thrilled to welcome pioneering veterinarian Dr. Marlene Siegel to the show today! Dr. Siegel shares her incredible journey into integrative pet care, starting with her experience saving her beloved horse Lily. She takes us back to her time in vet school, explaining how the traditional curriculum overlooked holistic, root-cause approaches in favor of symptom management. We dive into the challenges of the pet food industry's influence on veterinary practices, and Dr. Siegel offers empowering advice for pet parents looking to advocate for your animals' health. From balancing raw diets to understanding detoxification, Dr. Siegel provides a wealth of practical wisdom.
