S1. E7. Discussing 7 Pillars of Animal Longevity: How to increase your pets lifespan, healthspan, and heal holistically.

Welcome to the POD BLOG! Where we take pertinent information discussed in each episode of THE HOLISTIC FELINE & FRIENDS PODCAST and link it all in one place!
Each Podcast episode has a corresponding blog post!
Did you know our dogs and cats should be living into their 20s and 30s! Yep, you read that right! So where are we getting it wrong? How can we fix it? How do we get our pets on the track of innate longevity?
Dr. Zoolittle, also known as Penny Wood, is a Longevity, Health and Welfare Zoologist and Applied Cognitive Ethologist. She is my ivy league soul-sister and she breaks down every aspect on how we can get our pets on the track of healing and living holistically well into their 20s and 30s!
“We have more than 90% control over the health journey/health destiny of our pets, less than 10% of it is genetically controlled. With cats we have over 95% control over their health destiny.” - Dr. Zoolittle (Penny Wood)
GET READY FOR SOME INFORMATION!!!! Dr. Zoolittle is an encyclopedia of knowledge!! There is SO MUCH to learn from her, we have two episodes dedicated to her wealth of knowledge! Bring your notebooks to this episode (E7) where we discuss her 7 Pillars of Animal Longevity: How to increase your pets lifespan, healthspan, and heal holistically; and to the next (E8) where we talk Regenerative Medicine and Re-Wilding! Both episodes are jam packed with information and products to help you and your pet live long healthful lives...together!

It is my absolute honor to bring you crème de la crème leaders in Holistic Pet Wellness! Penny has a unique perspective - studying natural habits, behaviors, and lifestyle of our animals in the wild, then translating it to the care of our domesticated versions in our homes and yards. Much different from the standard narrative heard or perspective seen through the lens of Vet Care. She is the true voice of the animals.
You will walk away informed and empowered with tangible knowledge and products to jump start your longevity journey.
These episodes are created and shared with love for the health and wellbeing of you and your pets, may we all live to optimal lifespans and healthspans - side by side! 🫶🏼
Enjoy!
