| Regenerative ranching could save the cattle industry and our health with Melissa & Dakota of Solfed Ranch | 27 Feb 2025 | 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).

| Taking a holistic approach to chronic disease with Krysta Fox & Bruce the pug! | 20 Feb 2025 | 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/ | |||

In this week’s episode of the Raw Remedies Podcast, I sat down with Pam from Purrrfectly Holistic to dig into why so many pet parents are asking the wrong questions when it comes to their pets' health, why those questions might be keeping you stuck, and what you should be asking instead. Pam shares her five big categories of root causes for illness:
We dive deep into why simply covering up symptoms won’t bring true healing for our pets—or for us. You’ll hear powerful stories about how stress, environment, and even our own energy can affect the animals we love. We even talk about “quantum entanglement” and why your anxious day might show up as your dog’s tummy upset. This episode is all about empowerment. You’ll walk away with tools, perspective shifts, and the encouragement to trust your intuition as your pet’s best advocate. Chapters: | |||

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!

| Using herbs, hugging trees, and a natural approach to GERD with Rita Hogan | 23 Jan 2025 | 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?! | |||
| The incredible link between nutrition & behavior with Dr. Conor Brady | 16 Jan 2025 | 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. | |||

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! | |||
| Revolutionizing the approach to oral health with Dr. Emily Stein | 02 Jan 2025 | 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! | |||
| Pilot episode- Who am I, and why am I here? | 28 Dec 2024 | 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. | |||

| Supporting independent pet stores & a holistic approach to valley fever with Halle of Lonestar Pet Treats | 28 Aug 2025 | 00:47:46 | |
Join me and Halle from Lonestar Pet Treats for a double topic discussion- the importance of small independent pet stores, and the dangers of Valley Fever. Halle shares her journey into the holistic pet space as first a pet parent, then an online small business owner, and finally the transition to her own small independent pet store! We get transparent about why indie pet stores care more about and do a better job of supporting individual pets, and how that can benefit you as the pet parent. Then we take a deep dive into Valley Fever, a fungal infection that can be as insidious as it is devastating. Halle shares her experience with this in pets, and I give my two cents about a similar fungal infection in people! We discuss how symptoms may prevent, the risks for contracting it, and finally holistic modalities that can be applied as both prevention as well as management.

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.

Overview In this wonderful conversation, I sit down with integrative veterinarian Dr. Katie Kangas to explore the core modalities that bring the body back into flow. We unpack acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage as a powerful trilogy that restores nerves, circulation, and lymphatic movement, supporting not just mobility, but immunity, digestion, and whole-body communication. Dr. Katie then explains homeopathy as an ultra-safe, energetic “like heals like” approach that stimulates innate healing intelligence and can work within moments when it resonates with the client. We highlight Dr Katie's Remedies, including Tummy, for nausea, reflux, indigestion, and loose-stool prevention, along with detox tools like V-tox and V-tox R for post-rabies vax windows, and Dr. Katie's Dental Formula.

| A functional approach to thyroid health for people and pets | 01 Jan 2026 | 00:32:33 | |
In this solo episode, I go deep into thyroid health, a topic that affects millions of people and pets, yet is often misunderstood and under-addressed. Drawing from functional medicine, nutrition science, and holistic health principles, this episode breaks down how the thyroid works, why dysfunction is so common, and how environmental, immune, and lifestyle factors play a major role. I go into the full thyroid hormone pathway, including the roles of TRH, TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, and why focusing on labs alone often misses the bigger picture. I also explore the differences between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease, and autoimmune thyroiditis, and why so many cases go undiagnosed (especially in pets). Finally, I share holistic strategies for thyroid support, including nutrient-dense nutrition, lifestyle considerations, herbs, mushrooms, adaptogens, nutraceuticals, and a discussion of pharmaceutical and glandular options for your more traditional treatments. I even give a few doses for nutraceuticals (for people). Sponsor: Coming Soon: Connect with Kara:
