Chapter 1 What's Zoobiquity Book by Barbara Natterson-HorowitzZoobiquity is a book written by cardiologist Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers. The book explores the concept of comparative medicine, which is the study of animal and human health in order to improve the understanding of diseases and their treatments. Through various case studies and examples, the authors highlight how many diseases and medical conditions that affect humans also exist in other animal species. The book aims to bridge the gap between veterinary medicine and human medicine and encourages a more collaborative approach to healthcare. Zoobiquity was published in 2012 and has received praise for its unique perspective and insights into the interconnectedness of animal and human health.Chapter 2 Is Zoobiquity Book A Good Book"Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing" by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers has generally received positive reviews. The book explores the intersection of human and animal health, using fascinating case studies to draw parallels between humans and animals in terms of medical diagnoses, treatments, and even behavioral aspects. It aims to provide insights into various health conditions we share with animals and how studying them can improve medical research and treatments for both humans and animals. If you have an interest in both human and animal biology and medicine, the book may be worth considering.Chapter 3 Zoobiquity Book by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz Summary"Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health" is a book written by Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers. The book explores the concept of the interconnectedness between human and animal health, and how studying diseases and conditions that affect both humans and animals can lead to a better understanding and treatment for both.Dr. Natterson-Horowitz, a cardiologist, and Kathryn Bowers, a science journalist, came up with the term "zoobiquity" to describe this approach. They delve into several medical case studies that highlight the similarities between human and animal diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, psychiatric disorders, obesity, and substance abuse.The authors argue that by studying and comparing how these diseases affect both humans and animals, medical professionals can gain valuable insights into potential treatment options and preventive measures. They suggest that the traditional divide between human and veterinary medicine should be narrowed and that collaboration between the two fields can benefit both.Throughout the book, the authors provide compelling examples of how studying animals can lead to breakthroughs in human medicine. They discuss how veterinarians have successfully used chemotherapy to treat cancer in pets, which has led to similar treatments being developed for human cancer patients. They also explore how the study of animal behavior can help shed light on human psychiatric disorders.Furthermore, the book explores the concept of "One Health," which emphasizes the interconnectedness between human, animal, and environmental health. The authors argue that by taking a holistic approach to medicine and considering the health of the entire ecosystem, a more comprehensive and effective approach to healthcare can be achieved.Overall, "Zoobiquity" is a thought-provoking book that sheds light on the similarities between human and animal health. It encourages collaboration between the medical fields of human and veterinary medicine and highlights the potential benefits that can be derived from studying animals to improve human health.

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers, authors of the book Wildhood, explain the four needs of every adolescent as they transition to healthy adults. Plus, the surprising biology behind teen risk-taking behavior, particularly in groups!Exercise: Create a "Status Sanctuary"As Barbara and Kathryn discuss, the teen brain is primed to climb the status ladder.  Teens are usually at the bottom of hierarchies with more experienced adults at the top making rules. Because of this, adolescents are constantly stressed about status. If your teen has ever acted like losing a friend or getting in a fight with a friend is “life or death,” according to Barbara and Kathryn, for teen's brains,  it truly feels that way.To help relieve the constant underlying anxiety due to status climbing, Kathryn and Barbara suggest creating a “status sanctuary” where teens can be free from constant comparison. It doesn't have to be a spa-like experience, but it should ideally be done alone and sans technology. For your teen a status sanctuary might be something active, like going for a run or a hike. Or maybe they enjoy doing art, crafting, or baking. Encourage your teen to take a “status sanctuary” and offer to give them a room/space completely to themselves for one hour if needed. Remember, no looking at social media or scrolling through old text messages as both are social-status centered activities.

Sick As A Dog: Animal & Human Health - Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's show is part of our Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview series.  Thank you so much for listening.  We've got a great returning guest today, whom I'll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 671st episode, and I spoke to Smithsonian Associate and author, historian, and educator Clay Jenkinson about The Future of the US Constitution. Two weeks ago in another great interview, I spoke to Pulitzer-prize-winning author Stacy Schiff about her new book titled “The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams.”   Wonderful stuff…If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back-catalog of shows, all free for you there on our website, NotOld-Better.com…and if you leave a review, we will read it at the end of each show…leave reviews on Apple Podcasts for us. What do you call a veterinarian that can only take care of one species? A physician.  As you just heard from our guest today, Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, who is a physician, who'll share how a species-spanning approach to health can improve medical care of the human animal — particularly when it comes to mental health.  Dr. Natterson-Horowitz is co-author of the amazing book and creator of the TV series, Zoobiquity, Zoobiquity explored how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species.  Infertility, lung cancer, anxiety, obesity, eating disorders, heart attacks, and PTSD are common in humans, but they are not uniquely human disorders. Concerns about the diseases associated with animals have encouraged researchers around the world to try to bridge the gap between animal and human medicine. Drawing on the latest in medical and veterinary science—as well as evolutionary and molecular biology—it's now understood that animals and humans suffer from many of the same health problems. Practitioners and researchers are actively comparing the human and veterinary approaches to shared ailments and transforming medical practices and research in the process. Through observation and research studying animals in natural settings, cardiologist and evolutionary biologist and Smithsonian Associate Barbara Natterson-Horowitz has uncovered evolved adaptations for some of these conditions. She explores how our vulnerability to illnesses has its roots in our ancient evolutionary past and how understanding physical and mental illness in wild animals—from depression and self-harm to cardiac disease—has the potential to make us physically and mentally healthier humans.  Barbara Natterson-Horowitz will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates via zoom very soon, but we've got Dr. Natterson-Horowitz today to answer our questions and give you a glimpse into her upcoming presentation at Smithsonian Associates, titled:  "It's Possible to Be Sick as a Dog: Linking Human and Animal Health" My thanks to Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz.  Dr. Natterson-Horowitz will be presenting at the Smithsonian Associates via Zoom coming up, and the title of Dr. Natterson-Horowitz's presentation at Smithsonian Associates is  "It's Possible to Be Sick as a Dog: Linking Human and Animal Health"   Please check our website for more details.   My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience on radio and podcast.  Please be well, and be safe, which I'm telling you each show, followed by my message to eliminate assault rifles. Only members of the military use these weapons.  Assault rifles are killing our children and grandchildren in the very places they learn: school.  Let's do better.  Let's talk about better.  The Not Old Better Show Art of Living interview series on radio and podcast.  Thanks, everybody, and we'll see you next week.  Smithsonian Associates site details:  https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/255235

Do animals feel anxiety? Do they cave under pressure, overeat certain foods, do risky behavior, become addicted to substances? More important than the specific answer to these questions is what can we learn as humans from the idea that wild animals can feel anxiety, cave under pressure, overeat, do risky behaviors, and become addicted to certain substances? That's what we're going to tackle today as we discuss the book Zoobiquity. Find out more about Zoobiquity and how our health and well-being is connected with animals.

Cardiologist and evolutionary biologist Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz describes herself as an innovator for human health. She is a professor at Harvard University's department of human evolutionary biology and a professor of medicine at UCLA. She's also the co-author of bestselling books Zoobiquity and Wildhood. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz studies a range of wild animals including lions and giraffes in their natural settings, observing their evolutionary adaptations, which then offer clues for potential solutions to common medical disorders in humans. She says the biology of some female animals has evolved over centuries to resist diseases that still claim the lives of women today.

Matthew Carrano always wanted to be a paleontologist and is still somewhat amazed that he actually is one. He is currently the Curator of Dinosauria at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, where he studies dinosaur evolution and paleobiology. Most recently, he served as lead curator for the museum's new paleontology exhibition, Deep Time, which opened in 2019. Matthew graduated from Brown University in 1991 with a B.S. in Geology-Biology, and earned his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Originally from Branford, Connecticut, he now lives in Washington, DC with his wife, Diana and son, Max. B. Natterson Horowitz, MD, is a New York Times bestselling author of the award-winning books Zoobiquity  (Twitter) and Wildhood. A cardiologist and evolutionary biologist on the faculty of Harvard and UCLA, Dr. Natterson Horowitz studies animals in their natural settings to find solutions for human health challenges. 

The idea of filtering human blood to remove toxins is not new, but applying that concept to veterinary medicine can help save lives. This week, Shawn & Ivan speak with Jeff Barnes of Aimalojic about blood filtering devices for veterinary medicine. Jeff recommends Zoobiquity by Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz & Kathryn Bowers (amzn.to/3nCTjGO). Learn more about Jeff at aimalojic.com.

Following a tragic loss in her family this week, Annie, worried about how the death will impact the health of her grief-stricken loved ones, remembered the first chapter from the 2012 book Zoobiquity, on the potentially-fatal heart condition that was discovered separately by veterinarians and by human cardiologists: Broken Heart Syndrome. It's called Takotsubo (when it effects humans) and Capture Myopathy (when in other species). The chapter goes on to talk about the "One Health" movement and to argue that human doctors (aka veterinarians who only work with one species) could learn something from those who work with medical conditions in other animals, and encourages readers to be more humble about humans' place in the animal kingdom.

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD is a professor of medicine in the UCLA Division of Cardiology, visiting professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, and president of the International Society for Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health. On top of this, she's the coauthor, along with Kathryn Bowers, of best-selling book Zoobiquity and their latest, Wildhood: The Epic Journey from Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals. It explores an incredible perspective on their discovery about adolescence across the animal kingdom - outlining four key life skills that all adolescents, including both humans and animals, experience - and the story of how she got to this research is just as interesting as the research itself.

Some adolescents become adults safely, capably, and independently while others do not. Research shows that becoming an adult for humans and animals depends on mastering four critical skills: staying safe from predators and exploiters; finding one's place in social groups; communicating sexual consent; and living independently. Studying adolescent animals helps us understand human adolescents as a planet-wide tribe, with shared behaviors and conditions such as: Easy Prey if they are seen by predators and exploiters as less aware, weaker, and unprotected, therefore singled out for attack; or Privileged Creatures if they have high-status parents with rank, social networks, territories, and more, giving them an advantage over lower-status adolescent animals. There are counterintuitive insights that can be game changing like: peer pressure and risk-taking improve safety. Please join us Thursday to learn how to maximize the potential and minimize the danger of this developmental stage.

Most doctors never consider that a whale might get breast cancer, or a marmoset might get heart disease, or that common conditions seen in human athletes might also be seen a cheetah, a greyhound or an antelope.  Barbara Natterson Horowitz is first and foremost a doctor but agter 25 years as a cardiology specialist the the UCLA Medical Centre, an unexpected turn of events took her via L.A. Zoo to a New York Times best-selling book, Zoobiquity, a TED talk watched by over 300,000 people and now to Harvard, where she is on a year-long tenure as Professor of Evolutionary Medicine. Barbara is interested in the links between human and veterinary medicine, and how what we know about one species can affect our diagnosis and treatment of others. This knowledge, this says, has radically changed the way she looks at her human patients and thinks about their care. In this interview we discussed: - How Barbara frames the questions she wants answered by comparing the human and animal kingdoms - Her work as a cardiologist and how her new-found experiences as a consultant at the L.A. Zoo shaped the way she viewed and treated her human patients - How it came about that she wrote a best-selling book on the subject - Women in medicine in the USA and the pressures on family life that a busy medical career brings - The future of the Zoobiquity movement and her new book!

In their groundbreaking book Zoobiquity, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers describe how they arrived at a pan-species approach to medicine. Animals do indeed get diseases ranging from brain tumors and heart attacks to anxiety and eating disorders, just like we do—and the authors explore how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species. In her illuminating new book, Animal Madness, Laurel Braitman chronicles her parallel discoveries of what nonhuman animals can teach us about mental illness and recovery. Join us to hear what we can learn from a blind elephant, compulsive parrots, depressed gorillas, and a cow with anger management issues.*Click here to see photos from the program!

Zoobiquity coauthor Kathryn Bowers talked with Natural History Museum environmental educator Lila Higgins, City of L.A. wildlife specialist Greg Randall, and Beth Pratt, the California director of the National Wildlife Federation about the biodiversity hot spot that is Los Angeles. We share our city with mountain lions and bears, as well as amphibians, snails, and songbirds--and it's time we learn to appreciate these wild neighbors.

Have you ever seen a novel word and despite a lack of training in formal Latin or Greek, you immediately understood its meaning? This is how people often feel when they see the word ‘zoobiquity'. Barbara Natterson Horowitz, M.D., Director of Imaging at the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center coined the term. It is meant to promote the concept that the health of all animals is interconnected. She believes veterinarians and MDs working together, looking at overlapping health issues is needed to insure that all life thrives rather than just survives. I am honored to have as my guest, Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD., the author of the new book, Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing. Questions or comments?
