| Episode 39: Toxic positivity, wrinkles, and inner beauty | 24 Sep 2022 | 00:17:10 | |
In this episode, I explain how toxic positivity leads to the perception that emotions are divided into two groups, the negative and the positive. Anger, frustration, fear, and feeling overwhelmed, are normal emotions just the same as joy, happiness, and excitement. They would not be able to exist without each other, and they are all part of being human. I also share my thoughts on embracing your inner beauty while aging, not viewing wrinkles as a failure but as a sign of wisdom, grace, and a well-lived life.

| Episode 8: 3 harmful myths about raising puppies: PART 1 - Socialization and Vaccines | 14 May 2021 | 00:26:19 | |
In this first episode of a three-part series on raising healthy puppies, Dr. Dobias uncovers the first common, yet harmful, myth about how to rear a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted puppy. Many well-meaning dog parents have been told by their veterinarian that it is dangerous to socialize their pup before they get all their “puppy shots.” In reality, this approach is harmful for puppy socialization and is based on decades of misinformation, the greed of vaccine manufacturers, and a general complacency with the status quo. Dr. Dobias also discusses how to harness the power of a puppy’s natural immunity, and outlines a vaccination protocol that reduces the number of vaccines needed, while allowing them to safely socialize with other pups and gentle adult dogs. Discover this and much more in an informative three-part puppy series.

I provide an overview of a gentle and respectful approach that can help even the most misbehaved and/or misunderstood dogs.

| Episode 6: Knowing the pinched hose principle may save your dog’s life | 30 Apr 2021 | 00:30:53 | |
Nature is the perfect architect. Every bone, blood vessel, nerve, muscle, and organ is placed in an intricate and deliberate design. But what happens when something in the design becomes out of place or misaligned? Dogs love to play, chase, and be active, which often leads to spinal twists, misalignments, and injuries. Many well-meaning dog lovers use collars and retractable leashes that can also cause damage to a dog’s alignment. These subtle injuries are most often undetected and untreated, because most veterinarians are not trained to recognize these invisible changes in the spine and muscles. Spinal misalignment can present in surprising ways, such as scratching, skin rashes, muscle spams, diarrhea, incontinence, stomach bloat, paw licking, and even organ failure. Learn more about the “pinched hose” principle and what you can do if you suspect your dog has an undetected misalignment or injury.

Can you believe that everything in this universe, from your dog to a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, are made out of the same building blocks? But what happens when those building blocks are missing, or are in short supply?

I've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of hormones on our canine companions' health and behavior, and the recent update to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) guidelines on neutering is a game-changer. Hormones aren't just about reproduction; they're crucial for overall well-being. My own dog, Pax, experienced many of these issues after neutering. It wasn't until we started hormone replacement therapy that I saw a dramatic improvement in his health and vitality. The good news is we have alternatives and solutions, which we discuss in this episode.
