    Episode 31: Collagen for joint health – what you need to know

    Episode 31: Collagen for joint health – what you need to know

    In our previous episode, we delved into the realm of glucosamine and chondroitin, exploring their potential to enhance joint health in both humans and dogs. What we uncovered was a landscape of scanty evidence concerning their therapeutic advantages, with glucosamine emerging as particularly dubious. Building upon that foundation, our current episode seeks to further unravel the intricate tapestry of joint health. Our spotlight now turns to collagen, as we examine the veracity behind its proclaimed health benefits. Is collagen truly the panacea it's touted to be? Join us as we navigate the depths of scientific inquiry to uncover the truth!

    Episode 29: The health benefits of organ meats

    In this episode, I want to talk about organ meats and their numerous health benefits for our dogs. We'll be delving into why I think we need to be incorporating organ meats into our dog’s diets. We'll discuss the specific nutrient profiles of the different organs and why you might at times choose one over the other, and in relation to that, we’ll explore how organ meats can provide targeted support to different areas of the body, such as the immune system, kidney and pancreatic function, and overall vitality.

    Bovine colostrum has been known for centuries for its health benefits and is described in the current scientific literature as on of the most promising nutraceuticals for the prevention or mitigation of various diseases in humans. The great news is that there’s also a growing amount of research highlighting the benefits of bovine colostrum for our domestic cats and dogs as well.  In this episode, I talk about how bovine colostrum can help in the management of infection, gastrointestinal disorders, allergy symptoms, and in the repair and recovery of muscles, tendons and bone in both us and our dogs, and why I’m so happy that my customers have access to such an amazing natural product!

Honestly one of the most knowledgeable sources of info you can listen to

Narelle, I want to download your brain into my own. The level of knowledge you have and research you have undertaken is truly amazing. You say that public speaking is not one of your favourite things, but I do think you have a wonderful way of understanding exactly what listeners need to have explained to them and explaining it in a way that makes sense. Both yourself and Glenn are thoroughly enjoyable to listen to and I always finish an episode feeling blown away with how much I have learned and how interested I am in continuing that learning. I also love how so much of the info is transferable to humans. The only problem I have is I can never listen to your show on the go, because I have to keep stopping to write down lots of important gems of info and things I want to remember and implement (an issue I’m happy to deal with 😂) Definitely a must-listen for dog owners!

Love learning from the Best

A brilliant podcast - I love all the topics covered and the depth of knowledge Narelle has. Narelle and Glenn are a brilliant duo, both informative but really easy to understand and friendly. It’s a must listen to those curious about doing the best for their dog to the avid supporter of the dog health and nutrition industry.

Simply.. the best!

The very best podcast on natural health for dogs out there! Highly informative, with incredibly well researched and sensible advice on how to give your canine companions the very best nutritional support for a healthy life.

So very grateful to Narelle for sharing her amazing wealth of intelligence and knowledge.. and, what a blessing to have the best supplements (should they be needed) available in Australia. They are of superior quality! Thank you Narelle :)
