In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ruth Roberts for a powerful conversation about the rise of autoimmune diseases in our pets and what that means for us as the people who love them. Dr. Ruth sheds light on how environmental toxins, everyday products, and even the food we put in our pets’ bowls are impacting their health far more than most of us realise.

We talk about the emotional side of pet wellness too & how our animals often mirror what we’re carrying physically and emotionally, and how truly holistic care has to include that bond. Dr. Ruth also opens the door to important conversations around spaying and neutering, and why understanding the full picture matters.

This episode is a reminder that caring for our pets means caring for their whole world: their bodies, their environment, and the emotional space they share with us. It’s eye-opening, grounding, and a must-listen for anyone who wants to support their animals in a deeper, more intentional way.
