  • What To Know About Copper, The Liver, + Your Dog’s Diet
    Jul 30 2025

    135: Today’s episode is all about copper storage disease: what it is, why it’s becoming more common, and how to support your dog naturally if it shows up. I talk about the difference between natural and synthetic copper, why certain breeds are more at risk, and how commercial dog food might be doing more harm than good.

    I’m also sharing my favorite herbs, supplements, and phyto-embryonic therapies to gently support the liver, stimulate bile flow, and help the body move that copper out. We’ll talk bitters, binders, nervous system support, lymph flow, and all the holistic tools I’ve seen help over the years.

    Topics Discussed:

    → What is copper storage disease in dogs?

    → Can dog food cause copper toxicity?

    → Which breeds store excess copper?

    → How to detox copper in dogs naturally?

    → What herbs help dogs with liver issues?

  • Earthing For Dogs (+ Their Humans)
    Jul 23 2025

    134: Coming to you from sunny Folly Beach, I’m covering one of my favorite healing tools: earthing. Yep, it’s exactly what it sounds like...getting those bare feet (and paws) on the ground to reconnect with the natural electrical charge of the Earth. In this episode, I share why grounding is way more than a wellness trend and how it helps reduce inflammation, balance hormones, improve sleep, and support your dog’s entire body system.
