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.

Today's topic is the reason terrain gets out of balance in the first place. We're talking about the five biggest mistakes I see on the Minerals and Metals Mane Test, the MMMT, week after week, horse after horse.

Here's the belief I want you to walk away questioning today: most horse owners are not making bad decisions. They're making nutrition decisions with incomplete information. There's a real difference between those two things, and once you see these five mistakes laid out, you'll understand why so many "we're doing everything right" horses are still stuck.

Your horse has had fecal water for months. You've tried the probiotics. You've added the gut supplements. You've done the paste. You switched hay. You called your vet. And every single time, you get some version of the same answer: it's probably stress, or maybe ulcers, or just how some horses are.

And meanwhile your horse is standing there with stained legs, and you are standing there with an empty wallet and zero answers.

Here's what I want to tell you today: the problem probably isn't your horse's gut. And it's definitely not your hay. The problem is that everyone — including well-meaning professionals — has been looking at the wrong end of the horse.

Today we're tackling one of the most frequently cited studies in the world of equine hair tissue mineral analysis, or HTMA.

If you've spent any time researching HTMA, you've probably heard someone say:

"That 2022 Journal of Equine Veterinary Science study proved hair mineral testing doesn't work."

And honestly, that's one of the reasons I wanted to record this episode.

Because after reviewing more than 10,000 mane mineral analyses over the years, I think it's important that

we discuss what the study actually found, what it didn't find, and perhaps most importantly, whether it was

even asking the same question that many HTMA practitioners are asking.

Now before we begin, I want to be very clear.

This is not an episode about dismissing research.

It's not an episode about defending HTMA at all costs.

In fact, I agree with some of the concerns raised by the study.

I think it highlights important challenges within the industry. Tune in for more.
