Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 121: The Senior Shift: Smarter Support for Aging Pets
Q: How long did it take before noticeable results appeared?
Improvements in sleep and rest were observed within a week, with gradual, graded effects across other behaviors and biomarkers as the treatment progressed; some calming effects were noted early on due to reishi.
Episode 121: The Senior Shift: Smarter Support for Aging Pets
Q: Can you walk us through what went on and how you did it? What are the results?
They recruited veterinarians and a large applicant pool, narrowed to 30 dogs, monitored baseline behaviors and activity for two weeks, then conducted an eight-week course with mushroom extracts, measuring sleep, activity, behavior, and biomarker data to demonstrate cognitive changes.
Episode 121: The Senior Shift: Smarter Support for Aging Pets
Q: What prompted CBD Dog Health to do this study in the first place?
The study grew out of personal experience with senior dogs and a rescue where cognitive decline appeared and traditional approaches fell short; the team wanted to explore medicinal mushrooms as a new functional option that could be studied rigorously alongside veterinary science.
Episode 116: How to Be Your Customer's Hero: An Interview with Maria Ringo
Q: What's one piece of advice you could give every pet retailer today?
Have faith in your mission. You can choose to focus on negatives or focus on your mission and strive to serve your customers with integrity.
Episode 116: How to Be Your Customer's Hero: An Interview with Maria Ringo
Q: If you could give yourself a piece of advice back when you first began your journey in the pet industry, what would it be?
Don't believe when everybody tells you you're crazy. Just know that spearheading something brand new and good is going to always have its haters.
