Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showHere is the question I get asked about EPM four times a week: does he need another round?And here is the question almost nobody asks: what is actually limiting this horse right now, and which part of his recovery has never been addressed?Those two questions send you down two completely different years. One is a loop. The other is a plan.In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, Functional Equine Nutritionist, takes apart the assumptions that keep horses stuck in the medication cycle after EPM, and lays out what an organized recovery actually looks like on top of appropriate veterinary treatment.In this episode:Why a positive blood test means exposure, not active disease, and the three legs an EPM diagnosis actually stands onWhat to ask your vet for, and why writing down the neurologic grade today pays off two years from nowImprovement versus complete recovery, and what the ten to twenty percent relapse figure really tells you in both directionsThe difference between a horse who declined and a horse who never fully came back, and why they need opposite responsesWhat is usually left after treatment: residual deficit, lost conditioning, compensatory patterns, nutritional gaps, and proprioceptive confidenceThe honest vitamin E conversation. Test it, do not guess it, and why it is correcting a nutritional status rather than treating the diseaseThe six step recovery order of operations applied to a neurologic horse, with minerals doing the work of nerve conduction and muscle contractionWhat the Minerals and Metals Mane Test can and cannot tell you about an EPM horseWhy you do not rebuild a neurologic horse out of a bucketThis episode picks up after veterinary diagnosis and treatment. Nothing here is an argument against treating EPM. It is what belongs on top of that treatment.Mentioned: The EPM Class Minerals and Metals Mane Test: https://equine-energy-medicine.myshopify.com/products/minerals-and-metals-mane-test?variant=66748496150832Find all the resources listed here: linktr.ee/equineenergymedAudrey is not an MD or DVM and has never implied or claimed to be either.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showYour horse finished Lyme treatment and still is not right. Technically cleared by the vet, but you know something is still obviously not right. Your vet did her job. The medication is finished. And your horse still is not the horse you had last spring.Flat topline. No stamina. Sticky behind. Grouchy about the girth. Nothing you can point to on a vet exam, and nothing that has improved since the last dose went in.Here is the piece that gets missed: treatment addresses the disease process. Recovery rebuilds the horse. Those are two separate jobs, and the second one has an order.In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, Functional Equine Nutritionist, lays out the six step recovery order of operations she uses with horses after veterinary Lyme treatment, and explains why the sequence matters as much as the inputs. Two plus three times four gives you twenty or fourteen depending entirely on what order you work it in. Same math applies to your feed room.You will learn:Why treatment and recovery are two different phases, and what is actually sitting in front of you after the medication is doneThe six step order of operations: bind and remove toxins, protect and optimize the liver, reduce oxidative stress, lower inflammation, support normal acid base balance, restore fluid and mineral balanceWhy step one is almost always subtraction, not a binder purchaseHow to support the liver through the diet instead of an aggressive detoxThe hidden oxidative load sitting in processed oils and high concentrate dietsWhat is actually true about acidity and alkalinity in horses, and what no supplement can doWhy sodium is the most underfed nutrient in the American horse industry, and why a salt block is not a feeding programWhy mineral relationships matter more than mineral amountsThe honest amino acid conversation: they will not cover a bad diet, and a topline is not rebuilt out of a bucketWhy targeted immune support belongs last, not firstThis episode picks up after veterinary assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. It is supportive nutrition education, not a replacement for veterinary care.Mentioned in this episode: Minerals and Metals Mane Test (MMMT), nutrition consultations, the anti-inflammatory forage diet.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showOver the last few weeks, I have had the privilege of hauling (some of) my horses for around 104 hours (well, the driving part was 104 hours - the horse part was around 60 hours) in August, along the Gulf Coast.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showWhat 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.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showLevamisole 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.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showYour horse still doesn't have a topline, even after switching feeds and adding an amino acid supplement.

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.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showToday 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.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showToday'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.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showYour 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.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showToday 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 thatwe discuss what the study actually found, what it didn't find, and perhaps most importantly, whether it waseven 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.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showToday, we are talking about longevity. About what it actually takes to build a horse that ages well. About why some horses peak later instead of declining earlier. And about what owners who have these horses did differently -- not just in their senior years, but years before anyone was thinking about senior years.Because the horses that stay sound longer? They usually aren't lucky. They're built that way. And it starts way earlier than most people think.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showWalk into the average horse barn and tell me what you see in the feed room.Bags of complete feed. Probably a senior formula. Maybe a ration balancer sitting next to a fat supplement sitting next to a joint supplement sitting next to a hoof supplement sitting next to something for ulcers. And somewhere in the back, a bucket of electrolytes that nobody's really sure if they still need.And the horse? Still ouchy. Still slow to recover. Still metabolically weird. Still not quite right.The owner? Trying harder. Buying more. Doing everything they've been told to do.Here's the thing nobody in the feed aisle or the feed store is going to tell you:The feed room is probably creating half the problems.Not because you're doing it wrong on purpose. But because the entire conventional approach to feeding horses was built around calories, weight, and convenience -- not around equine physiology. Not around what actually drives inflammation. Not around what horses were designed to eat.Today, we're going to get into all of it. What's hiding in your feed room. Why your horse can look totally fine on the outside and still be struggling at the cellular level. Why supplements keep stacking up and nothing ever really resolves. And what it actually looks like when you feed for physiology instead of feeding for appearances.Stay with me. This one's going to shift some things for you.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showLight is one of the most overlooked inputs in both human and equine health—and it may be one of the most impactful.We spend so much time focusing on nutrition, supplements, and protocols… but the body responds to its environment first. And light is a primary signal that helps regulate circadian rhythm, hormone patterns, energy production, and nervous system balance.In this episode, I sit down with the creator of Visum Light to explore how targeted light exposure can support the body's natural rhythms—and why this piece is often missing when progress feels stalled.We also break down what actually matters when it comes to light devices, including key differences in wavelength, intensity, and delivery—especially as more products enter the market.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” with nutrition but still not seeing the results you expect, this episode will help you understand why.Because it's not just what you're feeding the body— it's how the body is responding to its environment.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit down and chat with Dr Brandon Drabek about Traditional Naturopathy, his story about how he got to where he is professionally, what's happening currently in Ohio that can affect the practice of naturopathy on a state and national level, what it's like to be a male practitioner in a female-dominated industry, and how men and women differ in how they approach care, the difficulty of insurance vs cash pay practices (and why clients benefit from paying out of pocket).Brandon Drabek, ND, is a ninth-generation Geauga County resident raised in Parkman, Ohio, where his connection to the land and to community-based care began early. He was first inspired by his grandmother's knowledge of plants and trees, by a great-uncle who practiced medicine after establishing his office on the family farm, and by the D.O.s who served as his family physicians in childhood. Together, those influences shaped his respect for a model of care that values nature, prevention, clinical discernment, and the whole person. ​As Clinical Director of Geauga Holistic Rehabilitation Institute (GHRI) in Chesterland, he oversees a holistic rehabilitation approach focused on restoring function, improving resilience, and helping patients move out of recurring cycles of fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, and stress-related decline. His clinical work combines detailed case review and lab-informed insight with personalized lifestyle strategy, nervous system regulation, appropriately scaled movement, and targeted natural therapeutics.​With 15+ years of experience and more than 10,000 post-graduate clinical hours, Brandon is recognized for meeting patients where they are, clarifying complex clinical patterns, and creating practical care plans that can be implemented in real life.Education & Professional Formation​Great Lakes School of Integrative Medicine (2014) — Multi-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showIf your horse is already on a forage-based, low inflammatory feeding program and you're still not seeing the changes you expected… you're not alone.In this episode, we walk through a common scenario: a horse on a well-structured nutrition program that still appears “stuck.” Instead of immediately changing the feed or adding more supplements, we explore another layer—how feeding strategy, daily routine, and overall management can influence how a horse utilizes nutrition.This episode focuses on four key areas to review when progress stalls:• Feeding patterns and alignment with natural grazing behavior • Daily movement, turnout, and routine • Mineral balance within the total diet • Overall feed inputs, including forage quality and storageResearch from the National Research Council highlights the importance of forage-based nutrition and feeding management in supporting digestive health and normal behavior patterns. Guidelines from the American Association of Equine Practitioners also emphasize the role of turnout, movement, and daily living conditions in overall equine well-being.The goal of this episode is not to diagnose or treat any condition, but to provide a broader framework for evaluating nutrition and management—always in collaboration with your veterinarian.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” and still not seeing the results you expected, this conversation will give you a new way to assess what might be missing.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showIf your horse is on the “perfect” program — low sugar, balanced minerals, anti-inflammatory diet — but still struggling with weight, insulin resistance, or metabolic issues… you may be missing one critical piece:Circadian rhythm.In this episode, we break down how light — specifically timing of light exposure — acts as a primary regulator of metabolism.Human research shows that delaying morning light exposure is associated with higher body fat, independent of diet and exercise. And horses, as highly light-sensitive, seasonal animals, may be even more impacted by circadian disruption.We'll cover: How light controls metabolic signaling in the body  Why stalled horses and delayed turnout may contribute to metabolic dysfunction  The connection between circadian rhythm, insulin sensitivity, and fat storage  A new framework: the 4th pillar of metabolic health in horses If you've been doing everything right and still not seeing progress… this episode will change how you look at your horse's environment forever.Citation: Reid KJ et al.
