HOW REAL HOME-COOKED FOOD ELIMINATED A DOG'S HEART LESION IN 90 DAYS - Dr. Robert's Rebel Story

from Rebels with a Root Cause · host Tim Organ

You eat organic. You see a functional medicine doctor. You read labels. But what are you feeding your dog? In this episode of Rebels With a Root Cause, Dr. Ruth Roberts, integrative veterinarian, creator of The Original CrockPET Diet, and founder of the Holistic Pet Health Coach Certification Program, reveals the uncomfortable truth about what's really in your pet's bowl. After 30 years in veterinary medicine, watching young, healthy animals die of preventable diseases, and making a promise to her own dog on the day she euthanized him, Dr. Ruth walked away from conventional veterinary practice and never looked back. This conversation covers everything from the hidden dangers of commercial kibble and canned pet food to how a simple slow-cooker recipe helped shrink a dog's heart lesion from the size of a marble to a piece of paper in just 90 days. It also tackles the massive gap between the 4,000 holistic vets in the U.S. and the 150 million pets desperately in need of better care and what Dr. Ruth is doing to close it. If you love your pet like family, this episode will change how you see their food bowl forever.   What You'll Learn: ✅ Why Commercial Kibble & Canned Pet Food May Be Slowly Harming Your Pet ✅ The Shocking Truth About Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) in Pet Food ✅ How Real Food Helped Shrink a Dog's Heart Lesion & Eliminate Cancer Naturally ✅ Why Your Pet Needs Fiber, Polyphenols & a Rainbow Diet: Just Like You ✅ The Difference Between What Dogs & Cats Actually Need Nutritionally ✅ Why Once-A-Day Feeding May Be the Healthiest Choice for Your Pet ✅ How Holistic Pet Health Coaches Are Bridging the Gap Between Vets & Pet Parents ✅ How to Start Improving Your Pet's Health Today Without Overhauling Everything   In This Episode: (0:00) – Introduction: Dr. Ruth Roberts, Integrative Veterinarian & Creator of The CrockPET Diet (1:42) – The Heartbreaking Moment That Made Her Walk Away From Conventional Veterinary Medicine (3:30) – Her Own Health Crisis & How Functional Medicine Changed Everything (7:15) – Food as Medicine: How a Slow Cooker Recipe Shrank a Heart Lesion in 90 Days (10:01) – The Dog That Beat Cancer With Diet Alone: The Murphy Story (11:31) – What's Really in Your Pet's Food & Why AGEs Are Destroying Their Health (19:25) – Once-A-Day Feeding, Training Treats & The Blood Sugar Truth Nobody Tells You (20:29) – 4,000 Holistic Vets for 150 Million Pets: Why That's a Crisis & What's Changing (25:22) – How Holistic Pet Health Coaches Are Working Alongside Traditional Vets (33:11) – Where to Find Dr. Ruth Roberts & How to Get a Free Copy of The CrockPET Diet   Contact Info: 📖 The Original CrockPET Diet: Free eBook available at drruthroberts.com 🌐 drruthroberts.com 📱 Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube & LinkedIn: @drruthroberts 🏥 Integrative Veterinarian, Holistic Pet Health Coach & Founder of the Holistic Pet Health Coach Certification Program 🎯 Specialties: Holistic Pet Nutrition, Functional Veterinary Medicine, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, Acupuncture for Pets, Kidney Disease, Cancer, Allergies & Chronic Pet Conditions
