Ahhh, statins. The bane of my existance as a healthcare provider! Here's the stepwise issue with these medications and heart disease:

1. The true, underlying cause of heart disease is inflammation.
2. The root cause of that inflammation is high sugar leading to high insulin and persistent microscopic injury to the inner lining of blood vessels.
3. Injured blood vessels develop a 'rough' surface that allows platelets and cholesterol (which does belong in the blood stream since it's a transporter) to stick and build up, forming a plaque
4. Thus, you can develop plaques and blockages with completely normal cholesterol levels, because the issue was never the cholesterol, and therefore cholesterol lowering medications are of little benefit...

Not to mention, you need cholesterol for many functions. Your cell membranes are made up of a certain type of cholesterol. Your brain is mostly fat and water. You can't transport or detox certain substances without cholesterol. So driving it down to an extremely low level comes with risks. Plus, and this is my absolute favorite part, statins cause the development of insulin resistance and diabetes over time! So the medications we prescribe to lower cholesterol (which doesn't prevent heart disease) can actually cause you to develop the actual reason for heart disease in the first place. Sound backward to you?

This is why, in my opinion, we're seeing heart disease and strokes in our pets more and more, when it wasn't common decades ago. We feed a high carb high sugar diet (kibble), then expect there won't be a price to pay for the inflammation that diet causes. What we eat is what determines our health status. Our pets are no different.

Dr. Olivieri is such an amazing resource, so please be sure to tune in to the full episode on Raw Remedies podcast. If you need the l!nk, it's in my bio :)

Thank you for the inspiration- everyone comment your top 5 terrors or make your own post!! The truth to those lovely titles I put above:

1. You can’t have prescription cereal and you can’t have prescription kibble, they’re both the same awful product
2. Lyme and Lepto 💉 are extremely inflammatory and imo should be completely avoided let alone given yearly. The Lyme was a failed human 💉 that got repurposed for animals. See my June podcast released on the first for a discussion with about natural Lyme protection
3. Apoquel suppresses the immune system, so of course the symptoms improved. For now
 until the end result is cancer and worse allergies because you didn’t fix the real underlying problem
4. Garlic is safe in non pregnant adult dogs with amount by body weight. will tell you all about it in her page, so go learn!
5. Just because it’s green doesn’t mean it cleans! Greenies don’t clean teeth, just like the Shamrock Shake from McD’s doesn’t clean teeth. They’re both 98% sugar, the only difference is that one is liquid and one is solid, but I still wouldn’t feed either one to my worst enemy.

Tell me yours below!!

Dementia, for both people and pets, can be devastating. You slowly watch your loved ones disappear before your eyes and there's nothing you can do about it... or is there?

We know now that sugar plays a huge role in the development of cognitive decline, and one of the best ways to prevent the development of dementia is to eat a diet low in sugar. That means minimizing foods high in sugar such as pasta, bread, white potatoes, corn, rice.... sound familiar? That's what you'll find in the Standard American Diet (the SAD diet) as well as mainstream kibble and processed pet 'treats' such as m!lkbones. These ingredients do us a disservice from all angles, including the mental ones.

And if you do see signs of mental decline, there are natural approaches that have been shown to be effective! MCT and coconut oil have been used for enhancing cognition, as well as Lion's Mane mushroom. My absolute favorites are CLARITY by and any of the MCT and coconut oils from

The coop is coming along! My feather babies are keeping me busy, but it’s the good kind of busy, where you whistle while you work (except I can’t whistle so I just hum off-key 😅).

Something I’ve learned very quickly and decidedly over the past two months is that ducks make a huge mess. And I’m excited to share more about why I ended up choosing to raise ducks with my chickens, but for now let’s just say that water quickly becomes a problem in an enclosed environment đŸ«Ł

I ended up choosing 5 gallon watering system with 6 auto-fill cups since those work best for the ducks. They need to dip their bills into the water in order to keep their nasal passages clean- otherwise they could get sick. Apparently no one ever told them if they eat less messy they wouldn’t have to constantly wash their faces đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

I elevated it on a cinder block for now, and it’ll get staked into the ground in the future when we remove the grass from the run and lay down sand. They all drank from the cups right away and weren’t scared at all! I’m a proud poultry mama for sure đŸ„°

Spending two hours cleaning blood from my fridge including the shelves, crispers, the liners and sliding parts of the crispers, the freezer, under the fridge, the wheels of the fridge, and the floor wasn’t on my docket for today. Which is exactly why I don’t feel bad about having popcorn and a gluten free banana nut muffin for dinner at 9pm.

PSA- crispers aren’t water (or blood) proof. Don’t thaw your raw food in there đŸ«

Neurodegenerative diseases do not have to be a terrifying unknown possible future that we have no protections against or warnings for. The turth is that you'll have signs long before the traditional neurologic 'symptoms' ever arrive, and if you listen to your body and give it the support it needs, you actually can prevent some of these dreaded diagnoses that can really take away quality of life.

Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is one such disease that used to terrify me when I first learned about it in nursing school a million years ago. I'm the right demographic- female, 20-30s, unknown family history due to adoption. I always had a fear lurking in the back of my mind that I could be an MS statistic one day. Then I learned that by nourishing the gut and your mitochondria (aka your metabolic pathways), the risk of developing diseases like MS can be dramatically reduced or in some cases even eliminated.

Please check out Dr. Terry Wahls and her books and lectures about how she was able to reverse her severe MS, which had caused her to be wheelchair bound within a year of 'diagnosis', by supporting her nutrition and gut health.

My spring sabbatical is over, and I’m BACK with more extra cute feather babies to add to my existing furbaby collection!

April was a whirlwind of finishing the inside projects, and starting on the necessary outside projects (aka the coop), as well as acclimating the chicks and ducklings while teaching them to be friendly and not fear the dogs (who have thus far done a B+ job of respecting their space and more timid nature).

Make sure you listen to the final part of my 3 part metabolic health podcast series, it dropped this month. I’m excited to keep building and growing, both virtually and in our home. Stay tuned đŸ„°

Baby birds đŸ„°â€Š. who knew?

Every morning I fix their water (the ducks get the pine shavings in there which plus the hole and the splash it all around with their bills so it’s messy. Plus the chickens like to ‘scratch’ and get their food everywhere, which is fine because they’ll eat it off the ground but it sure makes a mess. That’ll be a little easier once they’re in the coop and can have a hanging feeder, plus they’ll mostly forage and get fresh veggie left overs for most of their nutrition.

The ducklings are only a few weeks away from going outside and I’m not ready 😭😭 my chicks will need a little more inside time, but we also have a surprise for them tomorrow
 stay tuned 😉

Well, it only took 20 years, but we finally have a national nutrition guideline that actually works (for the most part).

For years, Big Food has has an influence on how our nutrition guidelines were structured. They emphasized carbs and grains and minimized healthy fats and vegetables, even demonizing things like eggs and butter (go watch Fed a Lie on Y0uTube, you'll thank me later). But now, we finally have guidelines that reflect not only the research, but common sense!

Are they perfect? No. And they should also be individualized for people depending on their circumstances, but it's a far cry from what once was. Now if only we could get a species appropriate food pyramid widely accepted for pet professionals to use!
