  • Fabulous podcast

    I love this podcast. Very informative and down to earth. I love the realistic approach as I get frustrated with the big pharma approach of most clinics these days. A big plus for me is her voice - it’s very soothing and calming! Very enjoyable listen - keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

14. Senior Pet Care in General Practice with Dr. Hunter (Part 1)
Q: What do you think senior pets often come in for too late, and why?
Arthritis and subtle mobility issues are commonly overlooked or attributed to aging; recognizing pain early allows for interventions that slow decline and improve quality of life.
15. Age Is Not a Disease: Rethinking Senior Pet Care with Dr. Hunter (Part 2)
Q: What is your go-to guidance for self-women's joint support supplements and how do you judge trustworthiness of at-home products?
I keep a short list of trusted products with verifiable ingredients and third-party testing; I advise owners to look for ingredients with real backing, certificate of analysis, and avoid overpromising claims, preferring supplements that complement medical treatment rather than replace it.
15. Age Is Not a Disease: Rethinking Senior Pet Care with Dr. Hunter (Part 2)
Q: From your seat as a GP, when would you refer to an integrated veterinarian and what modalities have you seen that show promise?
There is growing openness to integrative approaches as evidence accumulates; acupuncture, laser therapy, and herbs have convinced me to consider integration more seriously when conventional options are limited or burdensome, always weighing benefits against risks and patient comfort.
