Raw Remedies - Natural Health for People and Pets

In Part 3 of our metabolic health series, I sit down one final time with Dr. Chrystyne Olivieri to connect the dots between blood sugar, insulin, and the full-body consequences of metabolic dysfunction. What starts as a “slow burn” of subtle imbalances can evolve into a systemic inferno of chronic disease, impacting nearly every organ system. In this episode, we explore how chronically elevated insulin and blood sugar contribute to conditions like heart disease, fatty liver, cognitive decline, and even neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s, and often long before standard lab markers show anything is wrong.

In this episode, we continue our metabolic health series and jump out of the frying pan and into the fire of type 2 diabetes. We go deep into the complexities of type 2 diabetes, its subtypes, early warning signs, diagnostic tools, and lifestyle interventions. Dr. Olivieri emphasizes the importance of proactive health measures and understanding the metabolic crisis affecting global health, as well as the need to take action early or risk life-long health risks. Key topics include:-> Subtypes of type 2 diabetes and their characteristics-> Early warning signs and symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes-> Diagnostic tools including A1C, fasting blood sugar, and urine microalbumin-> The impact of diet, weight gain, and insulin resistance-> Lifestyle interventions and dietary changes to prevent and reverse diabetesChapters:00:00 Understanding the Global Metabolic Crisis02:06 Diving into Type 2 Diabetes Subtypes06:15 The Dangers of Type 2 Diabetes10:54 Recognizing Early Warning Signs16:58 The Impact of Diet on Metabolic Health21:40 Proactive Measures for Diabetes Screening25:10 Understanding Dysmetabolic Syndrome and Diabetes27:51 The Dangers of Calorie Restriction29:40 Nutritional Composition Over Caloric Intake30:14 Diagnostic Tools for Metabolic Health34:58 Lifestyle Changes for Diabetes Management35:56 New Dietary Guidelines and Their Implications43:52 Actionable Steps for Healthier LivingSponsor:My Pet CarnivoreUse code RAWREMEDIES for 10% off your first order www.mypetcarnivore.comYa’ll, definitely consider checking them out.

In today's episode, I team up with Dr. Chrystyne Olivieri to delve into the critical topic of metabolic health, focusing on insulin resistance and its implications for overall health. We discuss the prevalence of obesity in people and pets, the impact of ultra-processed foods on our health, and the hormonal crises (aka Insulin Resistance) that arise from poor dietary choices. The conversation emphasizes the failure of traditional diets and the importance of behavioral modifications for achieving better metabolic health, as well as some myth busting and scientific study flaws. Dr. Olivieri provides practical advice for listeners to assess their dietary habits and make informed changes to improve their health, with more to come in part 2!Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Metabolic Health and Insulin Resistance02:51 Understanding Insulin Resistance and Its Impact05:51 The Role of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome08:25 The Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods11:18 The Hormonal Crisis and Its Effects14:21 The Importance of Diet in Metabolic Health17:01 The Transition from Sugar Burner to Fat Burner20:06 The Challenges of Dietary Changes22:59 The Importance of Nutritional Education26:54 Understanding Long-Term Health Studies33:04 The Role of Lifestyle in Metabolic Health37:32 Why Diets Fail: The Metabolic Perspective42:47 The Importance of Sleep and Movement46:19 Starting Your Journey to Better Metabolic HealthSponsor:My Pet CarnivoreUse code RAWREMEDIES for 10% off your first order👉 www.mypetcarnivore.comYa'll, definitely consider checking them out.

In this solo episode, I go deep into thyroid health, a topic that affects millions of people and pets, yet is often misunderstood and under-addressed. Drawing from functional medicine, nutrition science, and holistic health principles, this episode breaks down how the thyroid works, why dysfunction is so common, and how environmental, immune, and lifestyle factors play a major role.I go into the full thyroid hormone pathway, including the roles of TRH, TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, and why focusing on labs alone often misses the bigger picture. I also explore the differences between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease, and autoimmune thyroiditis, and why so many cases go undiagnosed (especially in pets).Finally, I share holistic strategies for thyroid support, including nutrient-dense nutrition, lifestyle considerations, herbs, mushrooms, adaptogens, nutraceuticals, and a discussion of pharmaceutical and glandular options for your more traditional treatments. I even give a few doses for nutraceuticals (for people).Sponsor: My Pet Carnivore Use code RAWREMEDIES for 10% off your first order 👉 www.mypetcarnivore.comYa'll, definitely consider checking them out.

Welcome to season two of Raw Remedies! To kick off the new season, I welcome Sean Cahill, co-founder of Tvati. Sean shares the backstory about the creation of Tvati, a natural healing product derived from hibiscus bark and rooted in traditional Polynesian medicine. He discusses the scientific validation of Tvati's efficacy in treating injuries and enhancing recovery for both humans and animals, from professional athletes to show horses to those suffering from arthritis. We also delve into the sustainability practices in harvesting the hibiscus, the cultural significance of the product, and the company's commitment to community and wellbeing. Sean emphasizes the importance of education and authenticity in promoting Tvati, and why he considers himself a custodian of this ancestral medicine rather than just a CEO.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Tvati and Its Origins05:34 The Science Behind Tvati's Healing Properties10:58 The Application and Efficacy of Tvati16:24 Tvati's Expansion into the Pet and Equine Markets22:25 Sustainability and Cultural Heritage in Production30:07 The Future of Tvati and Its Impact on Wellbeing__________________________________________________________________________To follow Raw Remedies:https://www.rawremedieshealth.comhttps://www.facebook.com/rawremedieshealthhttps://www.instagram.com/rawremedieshealth/https://www.tiktok.com/@rawremedieshealthPlease join my monthly email list to be first to get notified about new podcast episodes, blog articles, content, special events, giveaways and more: https://rawremedieshealth.myflodesk.com/jointhecollective__________________________________________________________________________To follow Tvati:https://tvati.com/https://www.facebook.com/tvatipet/https://www.facebook.com/TvatiOfficialhttps://www.instagram.com/tvatipet/https://www.instagram.com/tvatiofficial/

In this week’s episode of the Raw Remedies Podcast, I sat down with Pam from Purrrfectly Holistic to dig into why so many pet parents are asking the wrong questions when it comes to their pets' health, why those questions might be keeping you stuck, and what you should be asking instead.Pam shares her five big categories of root causes for illness:Toxins (think flea meds, glyphosate, heavy metals)ParasitesTissue damage (like leaky gut or genetic predispositions)Nutritional deficienciesEmotional stress + traumaWe dive deep into why simply covering up symptoms won’t bring true healing for our pets—or for us. You’ll hear powerful stories about how stress, environment, and even our own energy can affect the animals we love. We even talk about “quantum entanglement” and why your anxious day might show up as your dog’s tummy upset.This episode is all about empowerment. You’ll walk away with tools, perspective shifts, and the encouragement to trust your intuition as your pet’s best advocate.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates04:36 Holistic Health Approaches07:44 Understanding Root Causes of Health Issues12:32 The Importance of Emotional Health16:14 The Connection Between Mind, Body, and Spirit19:54 Lifestyle Modifications and Spiritual Well-being24:37 Empowering Pet Owners in Health Decisions25:58 Empowering Pet Owners29:50 Learning from Experience34:22 Holistic Healing for Pets and People39:20 The Importance of Patience in Healing43:01 Connecting with Holistic Practices44:22 riverside_copy_of closing w_music_raw_remedies podcast.wav__________________________________________________________________________To follow Raw Paw Adventures:https://www.rawpawadventures.comhttps://www.facebook.com/rawpawadventuresnutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/rawpawadventures/https://www.tiktok.com/@rawpawadventuresPlease join my email list to be first to get notified about new podcast episodes, blog articles, content, special events, giveaways and more: https://rawpawadventures.myflodesk.com/jointhecrew__________________________________________________________________________To follow Pam:www.purrrfectlyholistic.comwww.shop.purrrfectlyholistic.comhttps://www.facebook.com/purrrfectlyholistichttps://www.instagram.com/purrrfectlyholistic/

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with holistic health advocate and founder of CBD Dog Health, Angela Ardolino, to unpack the myths, science, and life-changing potential of full spectrum hemp extracts (FSHE) for pets and people alike.We dive into the realities of conventional medicine- quick fixes like Apoquel and Cytopoint that may stop an itch but leave the immune system suppressed and vulnerable. I share Bear’s journey through endless antibiotics, antifungals, and pharmaceuticals before finding real healing through diet changes and FSHE.Together, we break down:🌱 The Endocannabinoid System (ECS): The “master system” that keeps the body balanced but is ignored in conventional vet schools.🌱 Full Spectrum vs. Broad Spectrum vs. Isolates: Why only full spectrum provides true healing synergy—and why isolates can even cause harm.🌱 Safe & Effective Use: How bioavailability works (like applying hemp on the gums, ears, or paws) and why pets respond so well.🌱 Conditions Supported Naturally: From allergies and arthritis to seizures, Cushing’s disease, anxiety, and even cancer—Angela shares real-life success stories.🌱 Red Flags & Quality Checks: How to read a Certificate of Analysis (COA), what to look for in a trustworthy product, and why not all “CBD oils” are created equal.Angela also opens up about her own healing journey with rheumatoid arthritis, I share personal stories of replacing ibuprofen with hemp, and we both highlight how hemp and mushrooms are not “supplements,” but true food-based medicine.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Holistic Pet Care01:39 The Importance of Medicinal Mushrooms02:56 Personal Journey with Canine Health06:56 Innovative Extraction Methods11:30 Research on Canine Cognitive Dysfunction17:32 The Senior Dog Study Overview23:02 Clarity: The Mushroom Extract for Dogs26:41 Transformative Stories of Pet Health28:45 The Limitations of Conventional Medicine31:23 Nature's Remedies vs. Pharmaceuticals34:18 The Importance of Lifelong Learning in Healthcare37:08 The Role of Nutrition in Pet Health41:00 Research Insights and Future Directions__________________________________________________________________________To follow Raw Paw Adventures:https://www.rawpawadventures.comhttps://www.facebook.com/rawpawadventuresnutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/rawpawadventures/https://www.tiktok.com/@rawpawadventuresPlease join my email list to be first to get notified about new podcast episodes, blog articles, content, special events, giveaways and more: https://rawpawadventures.myflodesk.com/jointhecrew__________________________________________________________________________To follow Angela:http://angelaardolino.com/https://yournaturaldog.com/http://www.cbddoghealth.com/https://mycodog.com/Be sure to also follow Your Natural Dog Podcast!

Join me and Halle from Lonestar Pet Treats for a double topic discussion- the importance of small independent pet stores, and the dangers of Valley Fever. Halle shares her journey into the holistic pet space as first a pet parent, then an online small business owner, and finally the transition to her own small independent pet store! We get transparent about why indie pet stores care more about and do a better job of supporting individual pets, and how that can benefit you as the pet parent. Then we take a deep dive into Valley Fever, a fungal infection that can be as insidious as it is devastating. Halle shares her experience with this in pets, and I give my two cents about a similar fungal infection in people! We discuss how symptoms may prevent, the risks for contracting it, and finally holistic modalities that can be applied as both prevention as well as management.

Welcome back to Jessica Fisher of The Pet Parenting Reset! In this episode, we discuss the distinction between educators and influencers, the importance of lifelong learning, and the impact of misinformation in the holistic pet community. We explore the role of content creators, the science behind holistic practices, the benefits of raw milk, the need for credibility and transparency in the pet care space, the effectiveness of homeopathy, the complexities of vaccination, the controversy surrounding the drug Librella, and so much more. If it's controversial, we talked about it!

Today Mark McAfee, the CEO and founder of Raw Farm, tells us all about the benefits of raw milk, its historical context, and the stigma surrounding it. Mark shares his journey from being a paramedic to becoming an advocate for raw milk, educating us on the importance of bioactive components, the role of raw milk in nutrition and health, and misconceptions along with regulatory challenges. He emphasizes the healing properties of food, the impact of fear-mongering regarding bird flu and raw milk, and the need for better understanding of food safety. The discussion also touches on innovations in pet nutrition and the importance of biodiversity in gut health, the challenges faced in promoting raw milk, and the future of raw milk advocacy in America.

Melissa Boland is the founder of 4 Legger, a company dedicated to creating USDA certified organic pet grooming products. Melissa shares with us her personal journey of loss and transformation, which led her to prioritize ingredient transparency and safety in pet care.

Melissa also introduces the Pet Shampoo Ingredient Database, a resource aimed at helping consumers make informed choices about pet grooming products, and we play some ingredient trivia! At the end, I asked Melissa if she could share any details about her upcoming collaboration and new product launches with CBD Dog Health, but she held strong!

I believe that fermented foods are a foundational component of a fresh food diet, but not every animal is able to tolerate or is willing to eat them if you include them in the dish. Green Juju has helped create a new, innovative product that has the benefits of fermented foods, minus the actual food, through Wild Fermentation! Please join my email list to be first to get notified about new podcast episodes, blog articles, content, special events, giveaways and more: https://rawpawadventures.myflodesk.com/jointhecrewAnd you can also read the sister article to this podcast episode on my blog: www.rawpawadventures.com/wild-fermented-probiotics__________________________________________________________________________To follow Raw Paw Adventures:https://www.rawpawadventures.comhttps://www.facebook.com/rawpawadventuresnutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/rawpawadventures/https://www.tiktok.com/@rawpawadventures___________________________________________________________________________To follow Green Juju:https://greenjuju.com/https://www.instagram.com/greenjujukitchen/https://www.facebook.com/greenjujukitchen

Regenerative ranching isn't as difficult or expensive as mainstream media makes it out to be- instead it just might be the single most effective way to reign in the contributions to global warming from conventional and feedlot cattle raising practices! Not only would it decrease those emissions, it's also more ethical, cleaner for the cattle and the environment, and results in a much better nutritional profile of the animal which we then consume. In addition, I'm excited for Melissa and Dakota to introduce Solfed Ranch and their brand new 100% grass fed and finished raw beef blend for dogs, formulated by none other than ME! Please note that I reveive no profits or compensation from sales of their products. I'm simply excited to announce that an excellent new recipe for our dogs is soon to be on the market, so be sure to get on their wait list today (links below). Please join my email list to be first to get notified about new podcast episodes, blog articles, content, special events and more: https://rawpawadventures.myflodesk.com/jointhecrew__________________________________________________________________________To follow Raw Paw Adventures:https://www.rawpawadventures.comhttps://www.facebook.com/rawpawadventuresnutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/rawpawadventures/https://www.tiktok.com/@rawpawadventures___________________________________________________________________________To follow Solfed Ranch:https://solfeddogfood.com/https://www.instagram.com/solfeddogfood/___________________________________________________________________________Resources:Link to Stephen Van Vliet's research on the topic of linking grazing practices and nutrition, and a podcast episode and video breaking it down. Comparison of plant based meat alternatives vs true meat: 1, 2, 3, 4.Check out "Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us About Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom" by Fred Provenza

Chronic disease management can be exhausting, confusing and frustrating, espeically when only taking the conventional approach. Unfortunately western medicine focuses on suppressing symptoms which can make the underlying condition worse over time, rather than supporting the body based on the expression of disease in order to maintain wellness as much as possible. Krysta goes deep into her management of Bruce's chronic conditions that she's been handling for 10 years, far exceeding the expectations of those who told her he wouldn't live more than a year past his initial spinal injury in 2014! Her trials and tribulations have taught her so much, and now she brings that knowledge to you and your fur baby.

Leaky gut and chronic GI issues seem to be their own pandemic lately, but the truth is that the damage has been slowly accumulating for many years!

Let's be honest here, if you have a conversation with an herbalist and one of you DOESN'T talk about hugging trees, were you even talking to an herbalist?! All jokes aside, this conversation with Rita was a fun one and I love her approach to promoting wellness through nature and everything the earth has to offer.
