Full Circle Equine Wellness

Dr. Allison Marshall and her brilliant and amazing friend Dr. Kristin Mowry discuss more health topic for both horse and rider, including good exercises, being cognizant of the horse-rider connection for the optimization of performance, and of course, sour dough bread and her new cookbook.  Enjoy!

Dr Allison Faber Marshall talks with Dr Kristen Mowry today, DPT and owner of The Healing and Wellness Center of Davidsonville, MD.  Dr Mowry is a long time equestrienne, and through functional medicine helps humans raise their level of health.  Dr. Mowry treats riders through body work, nutrition, and supplements, and can help us understand how many of the same principles apply to their horses.  We talk today about how your health affects your horse's health, and how integrated a horse and rider are through food, environmental toxins, and stress.  Learn how to manage your own health better, and therefore how to use these principles to level up your horse's health too!

This topic may sound a bit boring, but as many of you know, there is a lack of veterinarians entering into equine practice and no one to fill the shoes of the veterinarians headed into a well-deserved retirement.  What this means to horse owners is that in the future, there will be less and less options for veterinary care across the country.  Take a listen to this quick episode exploring the Foundation for the Horse, and arm of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and learn what is being done to address this issue, and support our equines in ways that may help you and your horses in the future.

Dr Jessica Myers, DPT joins Dr. Allison Marshall, DVM today in illuminating a few more holistic modalities and how they can be used to help your horse.  Dr. Myers shares her experience with us in both horses and humans and their responses to both dry needling and Graston techniques.  On the cutting edge of new medicine!

Whether you are a skeptic of chiropractic, or you have used it for years with good results on your horses, this episode strives to help you understand the medical concepts behind veterinary manipulation and how it helps bodies heal, even when we might not see that they need improvement.  Dr Allison Marshall does a solo episode on basic medical understandings of healing through fascial release, and how manual therapy can help improve your horse's performance and life in general.

Allison Faber Marshall, DVM and Tigger Montague, owner of Biostar US and well-known advocate for whole food for horses (the title of her book), discuss ideas for feeding your horse more naturally, and how that might affect a horse's health and performance.  Processing of foods is discussed, as well as Chinese medicine in relation to gut health, and some ideas on the general health of our equine athletes.  Enjoy!

The podcast that almost broke the podcast!  While recording part two of Michael Wildenstein, there were many challenges on all sides of the cellular service and editing process.  After many hours of recording and even more of editing, I have salvaged what I could, but I did perservere.  Mike and I discuss equine conformation as it relates to the limb and foot, we discuss aluminum shoes, and encourage collaboration between equine professionals.  

Dr Allison Marshall has the wonderful wizard Wildenstein on the podcast today, discussing many aspect of equine shoeing and hoof care.  The conversation illuminates many interesting and less understood aspects of the biomechanics of the hoof, and some concepts that Michael has found to be good guidelines from his vast experience.
