Are you curious about how to apply food-as-medicine to your furry friends? Want to know more about the optimal diet for dogs? Looking for information on reducing toxicity when it comes to flea, tick, and heartworm prevention? Tune in to hear us interview Laurie Johnson DVM, Integrative Veterinarian and cover all this and more!    In this episode, we pick Dr. Laurie's brain about everything from assessing your pet's constitution to how to transition to a raw or real food diet. We discuss supplementation when it comes to your pet, how you can individualize your pet's preventative regimen, and how to best work with your veterinarian to get the best care for your pet!    Dr. Laurie's Bio: Dr. Laurie Johnson is an integrative veterinarian practicing in Austin, Texas (AcuDog HerbalCat Vet). She is certified in Acupuncture, Food Therapy, and Tui Na from the Chi Institute, and Integrative and Chinese Herbal Medicine through the College of Integrative Veterinary Therapies.   She has over 15 years of experience with a diverse background in wildlife, emergency, shelter, small animal medicine, dermatology, soft tissue surgery and dentistry.    Find her at: AcuDog HerbalCat - Veterinary Medicine in Austin, Texas   Also in this episode:  Keto Reset Program Starts 8/21 Dr Laurie's Story TCM and Assessing ConstitutionEpisode 383: Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Optimal Diet for DogsSoCal Raw Fed Dogs Instinct Dog Food Smalls (cats) A Pup Above Chi Dog Farmer's Dog Petdiets.com Nom Nom Barking Creek Kitchen Just Food for Dogs Why Consider Delayed Spay and Neuter Gut Health for DogsRebuild Spectrum Probiotic GI Immune Builder Supplementation for PetsNordic Naturals Omega 3 Liquid Herbsmith Heartworm Prevention Flea PreventionWondercide   More Resources from Dr. Laurie: VDIlab.com:  lab that has a lot of special testing that most integrative vets have access to. I use them most for GI vitamins and allergy screening. Much more affordable than a standard lab.  DNA heartworm testing-  I've sent to Canada in past- very tricky with customs. Apparently Auburn offers this test. Any vet can set up an account with Auburn's lab to be able to run the test. Ideal when pet parents choose not to use a preventative. Detects living heartworm DNA - positive much sooner than standard testing. Heartworm - Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Animalbiome.com is an excellent company. tons of high quality research on microbiome health in dogs and cats and specific research on gut health with raw fed animals. Pet parents can test their pet's biome. I tend to recommend this with all of my GI cases, chronic skin, immune health cases. Results vary a lot. Some pets have severe e-coli overloads and practically zero beneficial bacteria so they need fecal transplants and specific pre/probiotic and fiber sources. Inulin might be a better fiber source than psyllium in some cases. Some pets don't have pathogenic bacteria but they have no good flora so they will also need fecal transplants. Best to work with a vet when this is needed as most of my patients need more support when they are undergoing fecal transplant. I reach for S boullardi /FOS a lot. This is not found in standard small animal formulas. Their product line is amazing! Vax/Titers: puppy /kitten vaccine protocol with titer testing recommendations from Dr. Jean Dodd's foremost authority on endocrine disease and immunology in small animals. One of her projects is the rabies challenge fund. vaccine protocol | HemopetPuppies and kittens need their vaccine series per the protocol to protect them from deadly diseases. We think of these as core vaccinations. We start them earlier in Texas because of the much higher risk here. These vaccines are extremely effective. I usually run titers when the pet has already had one 3 year vaccine because they tend to be better protected and if they are protected, we can run the titers every 3 years when the vaccine would be due.  Rabies is a legal requirement to prevent human exposure to this deadly disease. We have  a lot of rabies in Texas! Every year, there is at least one pet dog and multiple kittens or adult cats who test positive for Rabies in Austin. They are tested because of human exposure and they are euthanized so their brain tissue can be tested :( All healthy pets should be vaccinated at least twice before titers are run.  Titers can still be run but many clinics won't accept the titers. I am rabies vaccinated because I used to work with wildlife. We tested our titers regularly and when they were low, we got a booster. This is standard practice in the human field and may someday be the standard with small animals.  Interceptor dose example: Sharing this with y'all so you can see the calculation for Interceptor (milbemycin oxime) **Please note- the chewable pill cannot be broken because the medication is not evenly distributed** Jax weighs 80 # We convert his weight to kg= 36.4kg 36.4 x 0.1mg/kg = 3.64 mg- this is the bare minimum dose to prevent heartworms. I don't like to have such a narrow margin in case the dog gains weight or there is resistance to the drug and because we can't break the tablet, so I tend to dose at 0.2mg/kg - 0.3 mg/kg (instead of 0.5mg/kg)  So, his more appropriate dose is 7.3 mg- we round up to 8mg.  The 50- 100# dose is 23mg.  The 26-50 # dose is 11.5mg. It's the next size down.  11.5mg divided by 36.4 = 0.3 mg/kg dose so we're good!Note: The lower dose does not protect against hookworms according to the study, so you would need to be aware of this. Any dog with a history of hookworms needs the higher dose until 100% clear on antigen testing.    This episode is sponsored by: Noble Origins, an animal-based organs focused company serving up Nose-To-Tail Protein With Organs, Collagen, & Colostrum.

In today's Shop Talk Damo Mitchell explores the Craft of Acupuncture and our relationship with the primary tool of our trade— the needle. Along with a practical understanding of Butcher Ding and the critical importance of knowing how to slide through the sinew channels with an attentive awareness, so we can target our treatment to the primary channels.You can find out more about Damo's work at Lotus Nei Gong, Xian Tian College, and on Youtube.Damo MitchellI started out in the martial arts which I began at the age of four; it was through these studies that I first encountered Chinese medicine which I began to learn at age 14 with Tuina.Fast forward 28 years or so and I find myself having completed a UK degree in Chinese medicine as well as having been apprenticed to a number of Chinese medical doctors in China and South East Asia. Never really finding myself comfortable in a conventional ‘clinical;' setting, I always leaned more towards study with esoteric and Daoist practitioners of medicine who worked in smaller communities or out of their own home.To me, the separation of personal cultivation from Chinese medical study shouldn't really exist and they both form an equal part of my lifepath.These days, I am the head of the Xian Tian College of Chinese Medicine as well as the director of the Lotus Nei Gong School of Internal Arts which keeps me more than busy!

Touch is our first sensation. It's a universal language. And it's a capacity we all have that can be used to restore health and nurture life.  Hands may not be represented in the Ancient Chinese symbol for listen 聽, ting. But as practitioners of East Asian medicine, we need to understand the importance of listening with our hands, of tapping into the power of intentional touch, and contacting our patients with awareness. Listening with the hands is the foundation of Sotai, Tuina, Shiatsu, and other bodywork modalities. In this conversation with Bob Quinn, we touch on the use of Yin Sotai as a gentle method of bodywork, including its foundational principles and the implementation of the treatment in the clinic. Bob also highlights the influence of mentor Peter Thompson, the connection of Yin Sotai and Jeffrey Dann's Koshi balancing protocol, the legacy of Dr. Hashimoto, and the philosophical genius of Buckminster Fuller. Listen into this discussion on the influences, principles, and clinical application of Yin Sotai, which is a unique contribution by Bob Quinn on the technique founded by Dr. Keizo Hashimoto.

Bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode ! Vous allez découvrir avec mon invité, Amaël Ferrando, l'approche de la médecine chinoise pour tout ce qui touche au sommeil et à ses troubles. Au delà de l'explication de ce qu'est le Qigong Tuina, de la façon dont se déroule une séance et des conseils du quotidien, nous avons pris avec Amaël un moment plus "philosophique" sur la médecine et la façon d'aborder la maladie. Un échange calme et riche qui, je l'espère, vous intéressera autant que moi ! . Bonne écoute à tous

Dans cet épisode, j'ai le plaisir de retrouver Catherine Lakatos.    Catherine fut la première invitée de ce podcast et nous a ravis de sa présence tout au long de la vie de ce podcast, sur des thèmes centrés sur le yoga comme le yoga pour les enfants, la création d'un studio de yoga virtuel, le yoga et la lune…    Mais, de l'eau a coulé sous les ponts depuis sa première intervention alors qu'elle s'apprêtait à commencer un nouveau travail de secrétaire de direction en parallèle de ses activités de professeure de yoga et de massage Tui-Na.    Justement, elle s'est lancée à l'eau en se consacrant pleinement à ses activités autour du mieux-être.    Si ce plongeon s'est fait initialement malgré elle, puisqu'elle a été licenciée de son emploi de secrétaire, elle a surfé sur l'opportunité pour voguer vers d'autres eaux en explorant d'autres disciplines autour de l'hygiénisme.   Nous discutons des peurs qui émergent lorsque l'on se retrouve face à l'inconnu, de la façon dont on peut se réinventer, et puis des routines qui font du bien, celles qui nous ancrent et nous permettent d'éviter les écueils des angoisses.   Un épisode comme une boussole pour nous aider à naviguer entre peurs et passions où les paroles de Catherine font figure de proue pour oser naviguer là où le vent nous porte.

Traditions tell a story. They hold and transmit insights into cultural, religious, and sometimes medical practices. They can give us a glimpse into how family lineages consider and refine aspects of medicine learned in the institutional settings.  In this conversation with Dr. Shoubin Yu and Anthony DiSalvo, we explore some of the methods and perspective of the Yu Family Chinese medicine traditions. Anthony is an apprentice of Dr. Yu—carrying down the Yu Family methods that go back over 500 years. We talk about the history of this family lineage, its underlying theories, and why it's important to teach people how to utilize Chinese massage (Tuina) to overcome illness and prevent the onset of acquired diseases. Listen to this discussion on generational health, Tuina massage, and the perspectives that characterize the Yu Dayi Method.

Children today are developing more allergies, food sensitivities and developmental challenges than in the past. Modern medical solutions don t seem to be helping to reduce this trend. Parents deserve to be educated about their child s natural health options and know what is possible and these natural solutions can help! Learning to utilize Tuina can be key to a thriving child.

Alexander is a member of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturists of Ontario and has practiced Chinese Medicine for the past 17 years in both Calgary and Ontario in private practice as well as having taught at ACATCM before moving to Ontario in 2007. Alex was one of my clinical supervisors, and it was a pleasure to recount some of the lessons he taught and ask him to impart some new ones.  We discuss his time in Japan, the difference between traditional Japanese and Chinese approaches to acupuncture, increasing patient herbal compliance by using orthomolecular medicine, and Alex quizzes me on my chemistry and herbal knowledge - in which I fail miserably.
