The Truth About CBD for Pets: Medicinal Mushrooms, Canine Dementia & Whole-Body Healing

Is your dog aging, struggling with cognitive decline, or dealing with chronic inflammation — and conventional veterinary medicine isn't giving you answers?In this eye-opening episode of Wake Up Your Soul, Andrea sits down with Angela Ardolino — plant-and-fungi clinician, senior dog rescue advocate, and hemp and medicinal mushroom expert — to expose what most vets and doctors are never taught about the endocannabinoid system, full-spectrum hemp, and the extraordinary healing power of medicinal mushrooms for both pets and people.Angela shares how her own rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis led her to address root causes — diet, inflammation, leaky gut, and the endocannabinoid system — using full-spectrum hemp, adaptogens, and medicinal mushrooms. She also reveals the results of a funded clinical study on canine cognitive dysfunction using lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, bacopa, and ashwagandha — reporting no decline in severe cases and an astounding 81% improvement in moderate and mild cases.In this episode, we cover:• The critical difference between CBD isolate and full-spectrum hemp (and why it matters for your pet)• Why THC is necessary for effectiveness and the truth about CBD isolate and liver damage• The endocannabinoid system — what it is and why your doctor was never taught about it• Medicinal mushrooms for dogs: lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, bacopa, and ashwagandha• Clinical trial results for canine cognitive dysfunction and dog dementia• Hidden toxins in pet food and water that are destroying your dog's health• Why you must detox and rebuild the gut BEFORE starting any supplementation• How to find clean, third-party tested hemp and mushroom products you can actually trust• Natural support for menopause and whole-body healing using the same principlesEpisode Timestamps:00:00 - Aging and Telomeres00:17 - Show Disclaimer01:19 - Near Death Intro01:50 - Meet Angela Ardolino02:18 - Host CBD Experience03:04 - Angela's Health Journey04:09 - Root Cause Medicine05:41 - Ulcerative Colitis Story06:31 - The Endocannabinoid System Explained12:52 - Hemp vs Marijuana14:31 - Homeostasis and Deficiency17:52 - Hemp Ban and the Industry18:44 - Misconceptions and Proof20:41 - Pet Toxins and Allergies21:55 - How to Find Clean Products25:35 - Mushrooms as Medicine26:44 - Mushroom Types and Extraction28:17 - How Research Gets Done28:59 - Fast Track Drug Testing29:16 - Librela Safety Alarm30:08 - Rescue Research Methods30:42 - Canine Dementia Signs33:10 - Clinical Trial Results34:50 - The Nootropic Ingredient Stack36:55 - Buying Safe Hemp and Mushroom Products38:47 - Gut Brain Healing Plan42:36 - Questioning Vets and Vaccines48:13 - Detox Then Rebuild the Gut50:44 - Finding Holistic Help52:55 - Products and Where to Find Them54:45 - Menopause and Nature Support56:11 - Closing and Contact InfoConnect with Us:Follow Andrea on Instagram: @andrealynnintuitiveLearn more about Angela Ardolino: https://angelaardolino.com/https://cbddoghealth.com/https://mycodog.com/Listen to more episodes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wake-up-your-soul-with-andrea-lynn/id1793875840#CBDForDogs #MedicinalMushrooms #NaturalPetHealth #LionsMane #CanineDementia #HempForPets #WakeUpYourSoul #HolisticPetCare #EndocannabinoidSystem #DogBrainHealthSupport the showClick and subscribe to my youtube channel where you can catch fun lives to uplift your mood and video versions of this podcast:https://youtube.com/@wakeupyoursoulwithandrealynn?si=fGyeGrftRqTZNnjRFollow me on Ig:https://www.instagram.com/andrealynnintuitive?igsh=MTgzemQ2bnNwM2d4ZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
