We’re joined by Dr Nick Thompson talking about the integrative principle, based on a holistic viewpoint where different modalities including diet, acupuncture, herbs, homeopathy, red light therapy and physical therapies combine to offer a tool kit to help the natural healing process, whilst keeping your pet’s body burden to a minimum. We discuss the building blocks of species appropriate nutrition and the confusion in the market with so many pet foods brands, that it's no wonder ‘pet parents' get confused! Being a huge advocate for feeding a raw, balanced and complete diet, Dr Nick explains why, in a world where climate change and farming arguments can get confused with what dogs and cats should eat, he vehemently advises against feeding dogs and cats as Vegans. Dr Nick helps de-mystifying supplements, highlighting his ‘go-to’s ,which includes Antinol as a broad spectrum source of Omega-3 - an essential addition for pets and their people as our bodies don’t make themselves. We discuss overall wellness and vitality, which can be affected by human stress transferring to our pets, along with the vast array of indoor pollutants that can also contribute to the ‘body burden’ overtime. And why prevention is always better than cure!
