A four-year-old mare the vet diagnosied with synovitis, suspected bilateral upward fixation of the patella and normal radiographs and ultrasound. 

In this episode, Audrey explores how development, muscle capacity, hoof balance, inflammation and nutrition may contribute to a locking-stifle pattern even when imaging is unremarkable. She also discusses forage-based nutritional support, protein and mineral adequacy, flax versus preformed DHA, dried Schizochytrium microalgae and the importance of veterinarian-directed rehabilitation and collaborative care.

Most horse owners hear insulin resistance and picture a fat horse with a cresty neck. But body fat is not the definition, and lean horses can have insulin dysregulation too. In this episode, we are breaking down what the term actually means in 2026, why low NSC labels are not enough, and the ten questions I mentally run thru on every metabolic case.

• What insulin dysregulation actually means
• Why low NSC feed labels mislead
• What to check first

What does anti-inflammatory nutrition actually mean for horses? In this episode, I break down how anti-inflammatory equine nutrition became oversimplified into a “fix it with a scoop of...” mentality—and why that misses the point entirely.

We’ll talk about the real role of forage, feed ingredients, fatty acid balance, sugar and starch, minerals, protein, gut health, metabolic health, and targeted supplementation. You’ll learn why inflammation is highly individual from horse to horse, why ingredients still matter, and how to build a nutrition strategy that supports healthy inflammatory regulation without turning feeding into a rigid recipe.

Palmitoylethanolamide, better known as PEA, is gaining attention as a potential tool for chronic, inflammatory, and neuropathic pain. In this episode, Audrey examines how PEA works, the only published equine case series, the dose used in those horses, formulation and absorption concerns, safety limitations, where PEA might fit in a rehabilitation plan, and why FEI competitors need to be extremely cautious.

This one is a doozy! Stay with me until the end for summary information.

Levamisole has become one of the most talked-about adjunct therapies for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), but should horse owners and practitioners be asking more questions? 

In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, RN, MSN, Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath and equine nutrition practitioner, explores how working in both human and equine health reveals important crossover insights. 

We discuss why some veterinarians use levamisole for EPM, how it may influence the immune system, the recent European withdrawal of human levamisole products following concerns about inflammatory white matter disease, and what that does—and does not—mean for horses. 

You'll also learn about Th1 immunity, medicinal herbs like astragalus and andrographis, beta-glucans, and why optimizing nutrition and immune resilience may be just as important as immune stimulation. 

This episode is a balanced, evidence-informed discussion designed to help horse owners and equine professionals ask better questions about EPM treatment—not to replace veterinary care.

Your horse still doesn't have a topline, even after switching feeds and adding an amino acid supplement. Audrey breaks down why topline loss is rarely a protein problem, why sodium and mineral status matter more than most owners realize, and why chronic inflammation can block muscle building no matter what's in the bucket. Learn the real drivers behind a weak topline and what actually needs to change to build it back correctly.

Magnesium is the most recommended supplement in the horse world right now. Every trainer has an opinion. Every feed store clerk has a favorite brand. Every Facebook group has a thread telling you which form is "the good one."

Today we're taking magnesium apart to teach you how to actually think about it instead of just following whatever the internet told you this month.

Sound familiar?  The ground gets wet, then dry, then wet again. And like clockwork, your horse comes up three-legged lame with a hot, throbbing foot. You call the vet. You call the farrier. Somebody says wet-dry cycles. Somebody says stone bruise. You soak, you wrap, you wait for it to blow, and everyone moves on until next year.

Every summer, thousands of horses are diagnosed with allergies. They get steroid injections, antihistamines, fly sprays, expensive supplements, and then next summer, they are right back where they started. 

Today we are looking at summer skin (and overall allergies) through the EEM framework - and by the end of this, you will see your horses very differently.

Today we're talking about white line disease, and I want to approach this one a little differently than most of what you'll find online, because most of what you'll find online stops about halfway through the actual story.

We're going to start at the beginning: what white line disease actually is, how it's typically treated, and why that treatment plan is necessary but often not enough on its own. Then we're going to talk about the piece that almost nobody brings up, which is what's happening on the inside of that horse and why that matters more than any topical treatment you can apply to the outside.
