Why Your Pet's Diet May Be Causing Disease with Dr. Marlene Siegel

from Well Beyond 40 · host JJ Virgin

"No one feels good about having to tell a pet parent 'there's nothing more we can do." - Dr. Marlene Siegel I was absolutely blown away by my conversation with Dr. Marlene Siegel, a pioneer in integrative veterinary medicine with 40 years of experience. Her passion for bio-regulatory medicine—addressing the root causes of pet illness rather than just managing symptoms—is transforming how we think about pet health. Dr. Siegel shared shocking statistics about pet cancer rates and explained how the same environmental toxins affecting human health are devastating our pets, who are even more vulnerable due to their smaller size. What truly resonated was her revolutionary wellness framework that mirrors what many health-conscious people are already doing for themselves, only now we can extend this life-changing approach to our beloved animal companions.   What you’ll learn: Why pet cancer rates are soaring and how environmental toxins are affecting pets even more severely than humans The six-step bio-regulatory medicine approach that addresses root causes instead of just managing symptoms Why carbohydrates and vegetables in pet food may be causing inflammation in carnivores like dogs and cats How pet vitamin D deficiency affects immune function and why they can't get it from sunlight like humans The importance of using mercury-free vaccines and making educated decisions about which ones your pet actually needs Why your emotional state and stress levels directly impact your pet's health through energetic entrainment The truth about raw, species-appropriate diets and why supplements should be given separately from food Love the Podcast?
