EP: 68 The Aging Process: How Can the Pet Owner Improve the Quality of Life and Longevity? with Dr. Ihor Basko

Dr. Ihor Basko, a holistic veterinarian from Hawaii, discusses with Dr. Judy his approach to aging in pets, emphasizing the importance of nutrition and supplementation. He highlights the role of antioxidants, particularly CoQ10, in supporting heart, kidney, and brain health. He also recommends cruciferous vegetables, clover sprouts, and chlorella for detoxification. Dr. Basko is a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms like Reishi, Cordyceps, and Lion's Mane for overall health and cognitive support. Additionally, he stresses the benefits of massage and bathing for senior pets, aiming to improve circulation, mobility, and skin health.  Lots to learn!
