In honor of 4/20, Dr. Josie Beug is joining us on the podcast to discuss the power of cannabis and other herbs for our pets. She shares some of the history behind natural medicine, discusses the veterinary opioid crisis, and explains how the five elements can inform the treatment we give to animals. Dr. Josie is a licensed veterinarian, healer, acupuncturist, and Death Dhoula who decided to become a vet when she realized holistic medicine could help animals the same way it had helped her.
