A navicular diagnosis can leave horse owners feeling like their only options are corrective shoes, injections, pain medication, and eventually retirement. But how much do we really understand about what's causing the pain?

In this episode of the Equine Energy Medicine Podcast, Audrey Christie takes a closer look at navicular syndrome in horses, including the anatomy involved, why heel pain isn't always caused by navicular bone degeneration, and what a whole-horse approach to supporting comfort and soundness can look like.

After working with numerous horses diagnosed with navicular-related problems and seeing many of them improve, Audrey challenges the assumption that ongoing symptom management is the only path forward.

We'll explore conventional navicular treatments alongside the nutritional, metabolic, and mechanical factors that may influence tissue health and recovery.

What You'll Learn

• Navicular disease vs. navicular syndrome: Why pain in the back of the hoof may involve the deep digital flexor tendon, navicular bursa, supporting ligaments, coffin joint, or navicular bone itself.
• Why X-rays don't always tell the whole story: What radiographs reveal, what MRI may identify, and why an accurate veterinary diagnosis influences treatment decisions.
• Hoof mechanics and navicular pain: How long toes, underrun heels, hoof-pastern alignment, and mechanical loading can affect the navicular apparatus.
• Conventional treatments: The potential benefits and limitations of corrective shoeing, NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, rehabilitation, biologics, and neurectomy.
• Anti-inflammatory forage nutrition: Why Audrey evaluates the entire ration, including hay and pasture, rather than focusing exclusively on bucket feed and supplements.
• Mineral imbalances: The recurring elevated iron, low magnesium, copper, and zinc imbalances, and functionally low sodium patterns Audrey observes through her Minerals and Metals Mane Test (MMMT).
• Oxidative stress and tissue recovery: How antioxidant defenses, collagen maintenance, circulation, and bone remodeling relate to overall musculoskeletal health.
• Supportive holistic therapies: Exploring red and near-infrared light therapy, PEMF, and energetic approaches as complementary options within a comprehensive care plan.

Audrey's Foundation First Approach

When supporting horses with navicular-related problems, Audrey focuses her work along see the veterinary care team on four areas:

1. Building an appropriate anti-inflammatory, forage-first diet.
2. Investigating nutritional and mineral patterns through MMMT.
3. Addressing hoof mechanics and developing appropriate movement and rehabilitation plans with qualified professionals.
4. Considering supportive modalities such as red/NIR light therapy, PEMF, and traditional energetic practices.

A navicular diagnosis does not automatically predict how much improvement is possible. Some horses have significant structural damage requiring ongoing management, while others may have additional contributing factors that can be addressed.

The goal is to understand the individual horse and investigate every reasonable opportunity to improve comfort, function, and long-term soundness.

What should you feed a horse with heaves? If every answer sends you shopping for another respiratory supplement, it's time to look at the rest of the ration.

In this episode, Audrey explores equine asthma and heaves through her anti-inflammatory forage approach. We're looking at the hay, pasture, feed, and supplements together, along with individual nutritional needs and the air your horse breathes throughout the day.

You'll hear how Audrey approaches whole-food omega-3 sources, antioxidant and herbal support, and mineral pattern assessment alongside environmental management and veterinary care. We also cover why copying another horse's feed can leave you guessing about your own horse's needs.

In this episode

• Feeding a horse with heaves: Why the complete ration includes long-stem forage, pasture, and everything added to the feed.
• The anti-inflammatory forage diet: Understanding the principles, evaluating ingredients, and accounting for nutrients when changing feeds.
• Flax and chia: Their role as whole-food omega-3 sources, plus a closer look at chia's quercetin and other plant compounds.
• Rose hips, spirulina, and nettle: The nutritional, traditional herbal, and mechanistic reasons Audrey considers these supportive options.
• Minerals and Metals Mane Testing: How Audrey incorporates MMMT into her assessment alongside diet and history, including questions involving zinc, magnesium, and potential metal exposures.
• Equine asthma management at home: Turnout suited to the horse's triggers, ventilation, low-dust bedding, hay preparation, and feeding-time dust exposure.

Before adding another product, gather your horse's feed and supplement labels, actual feeding amounts, and forage information. That gives you a much more useful starting point for reviewing the plan.

What should you feed a horse with equine metabolic syndrome (EMS)? Before buying another metabolic supplement, let’s look at the whole diet: hay, pasture, feed, treats, and everything else going into the bucket.

In this episode of the Equine Energy Medicine Podcast, Audrey McLaughlin walks through her anti-inflammatory forage diet approach to feeding metabolic horses and easy keepers. Learn what insulin dysregulation means, how it relates to laminitis risk, and why a low-sugar feed label leaves important questions unanswered.

We cover:

• Evaluating forage, pasture access, and the complete daily ration.
• Managing calories while accounting for protein, muscle, and mineral needs.
• Looking beyond “low sugar” at ingredients and amounts fed.
• Checking for overlapping nutrients across supplements.
• Audrey’s supplement screen: acceptable ingredients, a useful purpose, and meaningful amounts.

If your feed room keeps collecting supplements while you’re still unsure what your horse actually needs, this episode gives you a practical place to start.

Here is the question I get asked about EPM four times a week: does he need another round?

And here is the question almost nobody asks: what is actually limiting this horse right now, and which part of his recovery has never been addressed?

Those two questions send you down two completely different years. One is a loop. The other is a plan.

In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, Functional Equine Nutritionist, takes apart the assumptions that keep horses stuck in the medication cycle after EPM, and lays out what an organized recovery actually looks like on top of appropriate veterinary treatment.

In this episode:

• Why a positive blood test means exposure, not active disease, and the three legs an EPM diagnosis actually stands on
• What to ask your vet for, and why writing down the neurologic grade today pays off two years from now
• Improvement versus complete recovery, and what the ten to twenty percent relapse figure really tells you in both directions
• The difference between a horse who declined and a horse who never fully came back, and why they need opposite responses
• What is usually left after treatment: residual deficit, lost conditioning, compensatory patterns, nutritional gaps, and proprioceptive confidence
• The honest vitamin E conversation. Test it, do not guess it, and why it is correcting a nutritional status rather than treating the disease
• The six step recovery order of operations applied to a neurologic horse, with minerals doing the work of nerve conduction and muscle contraction
• What the Minerals and Metals Mane Test can and cannot tell you about an EPM horse
• Why you do not rebuild a neurologic horse out of a bucket

This episode picks up after veterinary diagnosis and treatment. Nothing here is an argument against treating EPM. It is what belongs on top of that treatment.

Your horse finished Lyme treatment and still is not right. Technically cleared by the vet, but you know something is still obviously not right. 

Your vet did her job. The medication is finished. And your horse still is not the horse you had last spring.

Flat topline. No stamina. Sticky behind. Grouchy about the girth. Nothing you can point to on a vet exam, and nothing that has improved since the last dose went in.

Here is the piece that gets missed: treatment addresses the disease process. Recovery rebuilds the horse. Those are two separate jobs, and the second one has an order.

In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, Functional Equine Nutritionist, lays out the six step recovery order of operations she uses with horses after veterinary Lyme treatment, and explains why the sequence matters as much as the inputs. Two plus three times four gives you twenty or fourteen depending entirely on what order you work it in. Same math applies to your feed room.

You will learn:

• Why treatment and recovery are two different phases, and what is actually sitting in front of you after the medication is done
• The six step order of operations: bind and remove toxins, protect and optimize the liver, reduce oxidative stress, lower inflammation, support normal acid base balance, restore fluid and mineral balance
• Why step one is almost always subtraction, not a binder purchase
• How to support the liver through the diet instead of an aggressive detox
• The hidden oxidative load sitting in processed oils and high concentrate diets
• What is actually true about acidity and alkalinity in horses, and what no supplement can do
• Why sodium is the most underfed nutrient in the American horse industry, and why a salt block is not a feeding program
• Why mineral relationships matter more than mineral amounts
• The honest amino acid conversation: they will not cover a bad diet, and a topline is not rebuilt out of a bucket
• Why targeted immune support belongs last, not first

This episode picks up after veterinary assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. It is supportive nutrition education, not a replacement for veterinary care.

Mentioned in this episode: Minerals and Metals Mane Test (MMMT), nutrition consultations, the anti-inflammatory forage diet.

What does anti-inflammatory nutrition actually mean for horses? In this episode, I break down how anti-inflammatory equine nutrition became oversimplified into a “fix it with a scoop of...” mentality—and why that misses the point entirely.

We’ll talk about the real role of forage, feed ingredients, fatty acid balance, sugar and starch, minerals, protein, gut health, metabolic health, and targeted supplementation. You’ll learn why inflammation is highly individual from horse to horse, why ingredients still matter, and how to build a nutrition strategy that supports healthy inflammatory regulation without turning feeding into a rigid recipe.

Levamisole has become one of the most talked-about adjunct therapies for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), but should horse owners and practitioners be asking more questions? 

In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, RN, MSN, Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath and equine nutrition practitioner, explores how working in both human and equine health reveals important crossover insights. 

We discuss why some veterinarians use levamisole for EPM, how it may influence the immune system, the recent European withdrawal of human levamisole products following concerns about inflammatory white matter disease, and what that does—and does not—mean for horses. 

You'll also learn about Th1 immunity, medicinal herbs like astragalus and andrographis, beta-glucans, and why optimizing nutrition and immune resilience may be just as important as immune stimulation. 

This episode is a balanced, evidence-informed discussion designed to help horse owners and equine professionals ask better questions about EPM treatment—not to replace veterinary care.

Magnesium is the most recommended supplement in the horse world right now. Every trainer has an opinion. Every feed store clerk has a favorite brand. Every Facebook group has a thread telling you which form is "the good one."

Today we're taking magnesium apart to teach you how to actually think about it instead of just following whatever the internet told you this month.

Sound familiar?  The ground gets wet, then dry, then wet again. And like clockwork, your horse comes up three-legged lame with a hot, throbbing foot. You call the vet. You call the farrier. Somebody says wet-dry cycles. Somebody says stone bruise. You soak, you wrap, you wait for it to blow, and everyone moves on until next year.

Every summer, thousands of horses are diagnosed with allergies. They get steroid injections, antihistamines, fly sprays, expensive supplements, and then next summer, they are right back where they started. 

Today we are looking at summer skin (and overall allergies) through the EEM framework - and by the end of this, you will see your horses very differently.

Today we're talking about white line disease, and I want to approach this one a little differently than most of what you'll find online, because most of what you'll find online stops about halfway through the actual story.

We're going to start at the beginning: what white line disease actually is, how it's typically treated, and why that treatment plan is necessary but often not enough on its own. Then we're going to talk about the piece that almost nobody brings up, which is what's happening on the inside of that horse and why that matters more than any topical treatment you can apply to the outside.

Today's topic is the reason terrain gets out of balance in the first place. We're talking about the five biggest mistakes I see on the Minerals and Metals Mane Test, the MMMT, week after week, horse after horse.

Here's the belief I want you to walk away questioning today: most horse owners are not making bad decisions. They're making nutrition decisions with incomplete information. There's a real difference between those two things, and once you see these five mistakes laid out, you'll understand why so many "we're doing everything right" horses are still stuck.

Your horse has had fecal water for months. You've tried the probiotics. You've added the gut supplements. You've done the paste. You switched hay. You called your vet. And every single time, you get some version of the same answer: it's probably stress, or maybe ulcers, or just how some horses are.

And meanwhile your horse is standing there with stained legs, and you are standing there with an empty wallet and zero answers.

Here's what I want to tell you today: the problem probably isn't your horse's gut. And it's definitely not your hay. The problem is that everyone — including well-meaning professionals — has been looking at the wrong end of the horse.

Today we're tackling one of the most frequently cited studies in the world of equine hair tissue mineral analysis, or HTMA.

If you've spent any time researching HTMA, you've probably heard someone say:

"That 2022 Journal of Equine Veterinary Science study proved hair mineral testing doesn't work."

And honestly, that's one of the reasons I wanted to record this episode.

Because after reviewing more than 10,000 mane mineral analyses over the years, I think it's important that

we discuss what the study actually found, what it didn't find, and perhaps most importantly, whether it was

even asking the same question that many HTMA practitioners are asking.

Now before we begin, I want to be very clear.

This is not an episode about dismissing research.

It's not an episode about defending HTMA at all costs.

In fact, I agree with some of the concerns raised by the study.

I think it highlights important challenges within the industry. Tune in for more.

Today, we are talking about longevity. About what it actually takes to build a horse that ages well. About why some horses peak later instead of declining earlier. And about what owners who have these horses did differently -- not just in their senior years, but years before anyone was thinking about senior years.

Because the horses that stay sound longer? They usually aren't lucky. They're built that way. And it starts way earlier than most people think.

Walk into the average horse barn and tell me what you see in the feed room.

Bags of complete feed. Probably a senior formula. Maybe a ration balancer sitting next to a fat supplement sitting next to a joint supplement sitting next to a hoof supplement sitting next to something for ulcers. And somewhere in the back, a bucket of electrolytes that nobody's really sure if they still need.

And the horse? Still ouchy. Still slow to recover. Still metabolically weird. Still not quite right.

The owner? Trying harder. Buying more. Doing everything they've been told to do.

Here's the thing nobody in the feed aisle or the feed store is going to tell you:

The feed room is probably creating half the problems.

Not because you're doing it wrong on purpose. But because the entire conventional approach to feeding horses was built around calories, weight, and convenience -- not around equine physiology. Not around what actually drives inflammation. Not around what horses were designed to eat.

Today, we're going to get into all of it. What's hiding in your feed room. Why your horse can look totally fine on the outside and still be struggling at the cellular level. Why supplements keep stacking up and nothing ever really resolves. And what it actually looks like when you feed for physiology instead of feeding for appearances.

Stay with me. This one's going to shift some things for you.

The horse industry has a dirty little secret.

We’ve been calling deterioration a care plan.

Joint injections at ten. Ulcers at seven. Behavioral issues blamed on attitude. Topline disappearing despite a full feed room. And everyone just… nods along. Like this is fine. Like this is just what horses do.

It’s not fine. And it’s not inevitable. And today we are going to talk about why.

Why isn't my horse absorbing vitamin E? In this episode, we cover the difference between natural d-alpha-tocopherol and synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol, why horses on hay are almost always starting from deficiency, how oxidative stress from iron overload, high-PUFA fats, and inflammation depletes vitamin E faster than you can replace it, and how to actually troubleshoot non-response.

Light is one of the most overlooked inputs in both human and equine health—and it may be one of the most impactful.

We spend so much time focusing on nutrition, supplements, and protocols… but the body responds to its environment first. And light is a primary signal that helps regulate circadian rhythm, hormone patterns, energy production, and nervous system balance.

In this episode, I sit down with the creator of Visum Light to explore how targeted light exposure can support the body’s natural rhythms—and why this piece is often missing when progress feels stalled.

We also break down what actually matters when it comes to light devices, including key differences in wavelength, intensity, and delivery—especially as more products enter the market.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” with nutrition but still not seeing the results you expect, this episode will help you understand why.

Because it’s not just what you’re feeding the body—
 it’s how the body is responding to its environment.

If your horse is already on a forage-based, low inflammatory feeding program and you’re still not seeing the changes you expected… you’re not alone.

In this episode, we walk through a common scenario: a horse on a well-structured nutrition program that still appears “stuck.” Instead of immediately changing the feed or adding more supplements, we explore another layer—how feeding strategy, daily routine, and overall management can influence how a horse utilizes nutrition.

This episode focuses on four key areas to review when progress stalls:

• Feeding patterns and alignment with natural grazing behavior
 • Daily movement, turnout, and routine
 • Mineral balance within the total diet
 • Overall feed inputs, including forage quality and storage

Research from the National Research Council highlights the importance of forage-based nutrition and feeding management in supporting digestive health and normal behavior patterns. Guidelines from the American Association of Equine Practitioners also emphasize the role of turnout, movement, and daily living conditions in overall equine well-being.

The goal of this episode is not to diagnose or treat any condition, but to provide a broader framework for evaluating nutrition and management—always in collaboration with your veterinarian.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing the results you expected, this conversation will give you a new way to assess what might be missing.

If your horse is on the “perfect” program — low sugar, balanced minerals, anti-inflammatory diet — but still struggling with weight, insulin resistance, or metabolic issues… you may be missing one critical piece:

Circadian rhythm.

In this episode, we break down how light — specifically timing of light exposure — acts as a primary regulator of metabolism.

Human research shows that delaying morning light exposure is associated with higher body fat, independent of diet and exercise. And horses, as highly light-sensitive, seasonal animals, may be even more impacted by circadian disruption.

We’ll cover:

•  How light controls metabolic signaling in the body 
•  Why stalled horses and delayed turnout may contribute to metabolic dysfunction 
•  The connection between circadian rhythm, insulin sensitivity, and fat storage 
•  A new framework: the 4th pillar of metabolic health in horses 

If you’ve been doing everything right and still not seeing progress… this episode will change how you look at your horse’s environment forever.

Recently there was some push back around soy as an ingredient and more over as an amino acid requirement in feed and or ration balancers. The good ol “show me the scientific evidence” came right out. So lets talk about soy as an ingredient and why it matters even for horses that don’t have a direct sensitivity or allergy for soy. Today we will talk through a few different aspects including soys anti-nutrient properties, glyphosate issues, and the all important “what about amino acids then?”

 Amino acid supplementation improves muscle mass in exercising horses fed diets adequate in crude protein.
Journal of Nutrition, 135(9), 2144–2148.
https://doi.org/10.1093/jn/135.9.2144
Shows that horses fed “adequate” crude protein still benefit from targeted amino acid supplementation.

Ideal protein concept (amino acid balance over quantity)

Wu, G. (2014).
 Dietary requirements of synthesizable amino acids by animals: A paradigm shift in protein nutrition.
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 5, 34.
https://doi.org/10.1186/2049-1891-5-34
Introduces and supports the concept that amino acid balance determines protein utilization more than total protein intake.

Why crude protein is a poor metric

Crude protein vs usable protein

Millward, D. J., et al. (2008).
 Protein quality assessment: Impact of digestibility and amino acid composition.
British Journal of Nutrition, 99(5), 995–1011.
https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114507868495
Explains why nitrogen-based protein estimates do not reflect biological protein value.

Amino acid digestibility and bioavailability

Gilani, G. S., et al. (2012).
 Protein quality evaluation: Impact of digestibility and amino acid availability.
Journal of AOAC International, 95(5), 1398–1411.
https://doi.org/10.5740/jaoacint.11-028
Demonstrates that digestibility and amino acid profile determine usable protein, not crude protein.

Conditionally essential amino acids (rate-limiting functions)

There is a lot of confusion in the magnesium space. Which form is better? What is all of this elemental magnesium talk? 

Here’s the scoop, claims that magnesium oxide is better are based on misinterpreted comparisons, typically magnesium oxide vs magnesium citrate, and/or on something called elemental magnesium content, rather than true bioavailability. 

And here’s a hint, when you evaluate magnesium types using mineral physiology principles and broader magnesium literature, these claims are not supported.

Enteroliths: The Stone Nobody Sees Coming – And Why Minerals, Acid & Energy Matter More Than You’ve Been Told

Enteroliths.

Those massive mineral stones that form silently in the horse’s colon and suddenly show up as an emergency colic, surgery, or worse — euthanasia.

Most vets will tell you they’re random.
 Idiopathic.
 Unpredictable.

But I don’t believe in random disease processes.
 And if you’ve been following me for any length of time — neither do you.

Today I’m going to walk you through what enteroliths really are, why they form, and how mineral imbalance, digestive chemistry, and the horse’s energetic terrain create the perfect storm — long before any symptoms ever appear.

Farriers are consistently the first people to spot chronic health issues in horses because mysterious hoof problems like persistent thrush, crumbling AND cracking hoof walls, abscess cycles, and white line disease aren't actually hoof problems at all, they're external symptoms of internal inflammatory chaos that's compromising the body's ability to build healthy tissue from the inside out. 

In this episode, we are diving into several topics around the root cause of hoof problems:

• why hooves reflect internal health
• the role inflammatory diets play in that cycle
• why hoof supplements don't always work (or stop working when you stop using them)
• long-term solutions for hoof issues

Hey friends, the horse world has been shook up over the last days with the EHV-1 outbreak stemming from the Waco race and fueled a bit more by the Oklahoma races. 

As per several vets on the front lines, monitor your horses if you have been to any shows in the last 14 days -- even if it wasn't Waco or Oklahoma. If your horse has symptoms, please call your vet immediately. 

For the rest of us left in the valley of did our horse get exposed or didn't they - I have put together this podcast to help.

We have all heard of the regular maintenance, chiro, bodywork, often injections. All of those things are pretty popular. But let's talk about seasonal nutritional maintenance and how it can benefit your horse. Hopefully, this episode gives you plenty of ideas on how to DIY this OR if you don't want to you can have it shipped 4x a year for roughly $100 to your door. Not bad for 3 months of herbal support.
