S1. E8. Discussing Part II of Animal Longevity: How Regenerative Medicine and Wild Health can change our pets lives!
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!
GET READY FOR EVEN MORE INFORMATION!!!! Keep your notebooks near by! This is another episode jam packed with information and products to help you and your pet live long healthful lives...together!
There was SO much topic to cover, we invited Dr. Zoolittle to return for Part II on Animal Longevity! In this episode we talk how Regenerative Medicine and the concept of Wild Health/Re-Wilding can change our pets lives!
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 how Regenerative Medicine and Wild Health can change our pets lives and lead them well on the path of holistically living into their 20s and 30s!
She also gives her perspective on Cancer - you want to hear this one!
“Typically it takes 5-8 years for cancer to become a lump, detectable and actually an issue. You have plenty of time on the table to catch it sooner, reverse it by starving it or by oxygenating the body and allow the natural system of immunity to come defeat it and win that war.” - Dr. Zoolittle (Penny Wood)
Penny is an encyclopedia of knowledge!! There is SO MUCH to learn from her and SO many amazing therapies and products out there to assist in the longevity of our pets and ourselves!
In helping our pets live long healthful lives, we are helping ourselves live long healthful lives - chronologically “aging” beautifully and seamlessly together <3
“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)
| TIP!: LISTEN to (E7) Dr. Zoolittle, Part I where we discuss 7 Pillars of Animal Longevity: How to increase your pets lifespan, healthspan, and heal holistically. Read the corresponding POD BLOG: Dr. Zoolittle, Part I for links to all the amazing products and entities mentioned within the episode!
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!

REGENERATIVE STEM CELL NUTRITION/SUPPORT FOR PETS & PEOPLE

| TIP!: Organotherapy is a wonderful regenerative medicine, longevity and holistic healing method. It is the use of animal organs, tissues, or special extracts to support, repair, or manage early functional health issues of the same. In essence it’s ‘like heals like’, 'like cures/for like’. Eating the organs that are ailing helps re-optimize/regenerate those compromised organs in the body - give liver to regenerate the liver, give kidney to regenerate the kidney, give heart to support the heart etc. HINT!: single ingredient freeze-dried raw treats are a wonderful option and beautiful start to Organotherapy! Here are (3) brands I recommend: Winnie Lou, A Better Treat, Vital Essentials <3.
