From Chaos to Balance: Secrets to Resetting the Microbiome After Antibiotics

In this episode of Healing Tails, I’m joined by my dear friend and brilliant holistic pet health coach, Melissa Knievel-Natanson, to explore one of my absolute favorite topics: gut health. Melissa is a professional canine nutritionist who specializes in gut and kidney health, chronic inflammation, and senior pet wellness. Her passion for healing from the inside out shines through every story and insight she shares.Melissa opens up about her personal journey that began with her mom’s battle with a rare GI cancer and her rescue Yorkie, Darla, who faced severe IBD and food intolerances. Together, we dive deep into how antibiotics can disrupt the microbiome, why restoring gut balance is key, and how innovative approaches like fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) can be game changers. We also discuss the powerful role of diet, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), and why supporting the gut is truly the foundation for lifelong health. You’ll walk away with actionable steps to help your pet heal and thrive.Links & ResourcesHolistiPaws Pet Health Coaching -https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557491475519Website:https://linktr.ee/HolistiPawsPetHealth?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=eaaf7303-92f6-4038-a957-b045c0ab8970Legacy Biome 25% off Discount: https://www.legacybiome.com/products/healthy-gut-restore-fmt-for-dogs?ref=MELISSANATANSON👉 https://drruthroberts.com/ to learn moreFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheOriginalHolisticPetHealthCoachInstagram: @dr.ruthrobertsYouTube: @drruthrobertsTikTok:@dr.ruthroberts Pinterest: @drruthrobertsIf you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to rate, follow, and share Healing Tails with your fellow pet lovers.
