| #259 A Conversation with Dr. Kevin Toman, DVM, on End of Life Care | 14 May 2026 | 00:28:53 | |
Join family therapists Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez for a conversation with Dr. Kevin Toman, DVM, on end of life care and related matters. Dr. Kevin Toman, DVM, is a veteran small-animal veterinarian, founder of Helping Pets Live Longer (HPLL), and one of veterinary medicine’s most vocal advocates for longevity-first care. After four decades in clinical practice, he recognized a stark reality: the veterinary world is 20 years behind human longevity science — and pet owners are starting to notice.HPLL bridges that gap. Drawing from validated research in longevity medicine, oncology, metabolic health, and functional diagnostics, Dr. Toman offers pet owners something rare: a clinician who blends medical rigor with genuine compassion for the human-animal bond. His protocols span evidence-based supplements, advanced diagnostics, and prescription longevity therapies(rapamycin, acarbose, metformin) — applied carefully and individually to dogs and cats.

| #257 A Conversation with Pet Loss Grief Coach and Certified Grief Educator Crystal Soucy | 30 Apr 2026 | 00:28:19 | |
Join family therapists Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez for a conversation with Pet Loss Grief Coach and Certified Grief Educator Crystal Soucy. Crystal's work is very personal and was born out of her own intense heartbreak after the passing of her beloved dog, Baci in May of 2022. She supports pet parents as they navigate anticipatory grief, the pain of loss, and the guilt or trauma that often accompanies it. Through ongoing free support groups, 1:1 sessions, and a private Facebook community, Crystal provides a safe space where grief can be openly expressed, honored, and validated. Crystal understands the special relationship shared between us humans and our companion animals and is now the proud mom of Marley, who she rescued in March of 2023.More at https://www.getcrystalclear.com Reach Ken at kenddv@gmail.com, Nancy at nancysaxtonlopez@gmail.com.
