Dr. Ian Billinghurst: Strange Similarities Between Human Health & the Health of Our Pets


Listen Later

Have you ever seen a dog that's a spitting image of its owner?

The resemblance can be hilariously uncanny, but beyond similarities in affectation, gait and overall goofiness, we find time and time again that the health of our pets is often reflective of the health of their caretakers.

Having dogs or pets around has been an integral part of the human experience for ages. But do you know what the biologically appropriate diet really is for your furry friend?

If you've been following Fat-Burning Man for a while, you may have come across a post or two about my dog, Bailey the Labrador retriever, who has miraculously survived many near death experiences, including getting hit by a car, falling off a small cliff, stung by a scorpion, bit in the face by a rattler, and several mild to major poisonings of various kinds. But like a cat, she continues to survive.

We’ve attributed her miraculous resistance to injury over the years to the way that she's been fed, an extremely nutrient-dense diet.

And today's guest was actually very influential in the way that we started feeding our dog over 10 years ago now.

We are here with Dr. Ian Billinghurst, a veterinary surgeon with over 40 years of experience. He's also a nutritionist, acupuncturist, agricultural scientist, lecturer, nutritional consultant, raw pet food producer, and author of multiple excellent books, including The BARF Diet.

Whether you have pets or not, I hope this show is very helpful to you. We're chatting about:

  • Strange similarities between human health and the health of our pets
  • Things doctors and veterinarians are paid not to know
  • What a biologically appropriate diet for our pets really looks like
  • Why you should give your dog a bone
  • How to avoid cancer in dogs and cats
  • And tons more…
