When we think of chiropractic care, we often imagine humans seeking relief from back pain or injury, but did you know that our pets can benefit just as much (if not more because of lack of bias) from this holistic therapy? Chiropractic care is an excellent tool to add to the toolkit for pet parents […]
If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know I’m not one to reach for a supplement first, and I will always choose whole foods over a lab-made chemical any day. Luckily two powerhouse nutrients that I do feel deserve a discussion in the holistic pet space: colostrum and glutathione, can absolutely be
If you’ve ever wandered the aisles of a pet store or scrolled through the supplement options on Amazin, squinting at labels that sound more like chemistry experiments than actual food, you’re not alone. Choosing a supplement for your beloved fur baby (or scaly sidekick—I see you, reptile parents!) can feel like decoding a foreign language.
Once upon a time, before the age of ultra-processed foods and synthetic supplements, nature provided everything we needed for vibrant health- one of the most powerful, time-tested sources of nutrition- raw milk!

But what if the biggest threat to their well-being is lurking right inside our homes? Many everyday household products contain toxins and chemicals
Have you ever wondered why that one friend who eats kimchi, drinks kombucha, and talks about “gut flora” like it’s their full-time job (aka, me!!) always seems to have boundless energy? Well, it turns out, they might be onto something. Fermented foods are packed full of beneficial microorganisms, and they don’t just work wonders for
In recent years, the world has increasingly focused on sustainability and environmental preservation; climate change has become a common discussion rather than a topic that causes eye rolling and avoidance. Within this topic, agriculture—especially livestock farming—has come under scrutiny for its environmental impact. Often we talk about livestock farming, or ranching, in blanket terms, but
What are Omegas? The best place to start this conversation is with an explanation and comparison of Omegas. Specifically, I’m talking about Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, or PUFAs. These PUFAs can be broken down largely into Omega 3’s, Omega 6’s and Omega 9’s. However, because we’re able to synthesize Omega 9’s in the body, these don’t
