155: In this episode, I’m answering a listener's question about dental health for dogs and sharing why the mouth is never just about teeth. I talk through a popular dental formula from an herbal perspective and explain how ingredients meant for oral health can also support detox, the gut, and overall balance in the body.

This is a casual, solo episode with me connecting the dots between plaque, inflammation, and whole dog wellness, plus a few important cautions to keep in mind. If you like learning the why behind products and want a more holistic way to think about dental care, this one’s for you.

Topics Discussed:

→ Can dental plaque affect my dog’s overall health?

→ Are herbal dental products safe for dogs?

→ How does dental health connect to detox in dogs?

→ What should I know before using dog dental supplements?

154: In this short holiday episode, I’m chatting about antibiotics and my own love, frustration relationship with them. They can absolutely save lives, but when we don’t rebuild the microbiome afterward, our dogs can deal with gut issues, skin problems, anxiety, allergies, and other symptoms months or even years later. I talk about when I personally choose to use antibiotics, what I look for afterward, and why repairing the gut is such a big deal for long term health.
