In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Odette to get into some big questions. Why are pets getting sicker? How do environmental toxins and generational health play a role? And most importantly, what can we do to reverse these trends? We look at how our pets are like the canary in the coal mine, warning us that our modern, toxin-filled world isn't just affecting them—it's affecting us too. We also dive deep into Dr. Odette's 7 Pillars of Health—nutrition, gut health, detoxification, nervous system health, hormonal balance, fitness and exercise, and mental and emotional well-being and break it all down into simple, actionable steps. You'll walk away feeling informed, empowered, and ready to make changes that truly support your pet's health. Because healing is possible, and it starts with the simple lifestyle choices we make every day.

KEY INSIGHTS:

• How our pets are getting sick at a younger age, and how environmental toxins are impacting generations of pets. 

• How our pets are helping us realize how our modern lifestyle with WI-FI, EMFs, too little exercise, too much processed food, and an overload of pesticides and toxic chemicals is impacting not only our pets' health but our own.  

• How choosing organic regenerative, locally grown food makes a big difference.  

• How Odette’s 7 Pillars of Pet Health—nutrition, gut health, detoxification, nervous system health, hormonal balance, fitness, and emotional well-being—help pets heal by correcting foundational imbalances. 

• How hormonal health is absolutely critical to your pet's overall health, and how you especially need to pay attention to this if your pet has been spayed or neutered. 

• How getting outside and daily exercise is essential for our pets, and how going on long walks benefits their health as much as it benefits ours. 

• How our animals point out our blind spots and invite us to make the changes we need to. 

• How our stress levels impact our pets (and their microbiomes).

• How modern toxins—WiFi, EMFs, pesticides, glyphosate, and heavy metals—affect pet health.
