Episode 83 – We are what we eat. A conversation about Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome in dogs and cats - with Dr Gaelle Joanny   This is SUCH an epic episode. The quality of conversation with Dr Gaelle Joanny always blows my mind and I am so grateful to be able to share this with you. I have spoken about Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome in dogs and cats before – check out episodes 55 & 57 of this podcast for more background information. However, in this episode, we take a deep dive into the nutritional ways we can support our patients that are suffering with this disease – both with diets and nutraceuticals.   Here are some things you'll take away from this episode: 1.      How feeding a good quality diet over a lifetime can prevent Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome. 2.      Nutraceuticals to help manage Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome and how they work. 3.      Medium Chain Triglycerides as an alternative fuel source for the brain. 4.      How management and environmental enrichment can help. 5.      Why we all need to get so much better at recognizing the signs of Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome!   Dr Gaelle brings her nutritional expertise to the conversation; we talk about a number of influential studies on this topic and we both express the importance of recognizing the signs of this degenerative disease so we can support and manage our pets so much better in their twilight years – because… don't they just deserve that from us!   Keep an eye on our Social Media Channels in the coming days and weeks for even more information about the diets and nutraceuticals mentioned in this episode!   We really hope you enjoy this episode; it is packed with so much information!   If you liked this episode of the show, The Pet Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Veterinary Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!
