    The Hidden Link Between Your Dog’s Gut, Behavior, and Health | S9E06

    In this episode of the Canine Culture Podcast, host Brittany sits down with Amanda from Canine Gut Solutions to explore the powerful connection between your dog’s gut health, brain function, and overall well-being. While the gut-brain connection has become a major focus in human health, many dog owners don’t realize how deeply nutrition, stress, and daily routine can impact their dog’s behavior, digestion, and immune system. Amanda breaks down why what your dog eats—and the environment they live in—can directly influence anxiety, allergies, gut issues, and more. Throughout the conversation, Brittany and Amanda discuss how processed diets, environmental stressors, and lack of routine can disrupt a dog’s gut balance. They also share practical ways dog owners can support healthier digestion by incorporating whole foods, reducing stress in the home, and paying attention to subtle signs of discomfort in their dog’s behavior. If your dog struggles with issues like itching, licking, digestive upset, or anxiety, this episode offers helpful insight into how gut health may be playing a role—and simple steps you can take to start improving it. What the brain–gut connection means for your dog’s health How stress and environment impact digestion and behavior Signs your dog may be experiencing gut imbalance Easy ways to add whole, fresh foods to your dog’s diet Small nutrition and lifestyle changes that can make a big difference This episode is a great listen for dog owners who want to better understand the holistic side of canine health and how small adjustments in diet and routine can support a happier, healthier dog. About Canine Gut Solutions: Amanda Smith is a Certified Canine Nutritionist and former veterinary technician with over 20 years of experience in the veterinary field. She founded Canine Gut Solutions to help dog owners improve their pets’ health through fresh, whole-food nutrition that supports gut health. Passionate about simplifying canine nutrition, Amanda works with pet owners to create practical, species-appropriate diets that help dogs live longer, healthier lives.

    Extending Pet Lifespans Through Longevity Science with Dr. Kevin Toman | S9E05

    What if your dog could live 20–30% longer — and better? In this episode of the Canine Culture Podcast, Brittany sits down with veterinarian Dr. Kevin Toman to talk about the science of extending not just lifespan, but healthspan — the years your dog stays active, engaged, and feeling good. Dr. Kevin shares how his decades in veterinary medicine — and personal experiences with cancer — led him to focus on longevity science. From integrative therapies and prescription longevity drugs to diet, dental care, and inflammation control, this conversation breaks down what truly impacts how long (and how well) our dogs live. You’ll learn: The difference between lifespan vs. healthspan — and why it matters Why inflammation is one of the biggest drivers of aging Early warning signs of disease most pet parents overlook The truth about dental disease and why anesthesia-free cleanings aren’t enough How early diagnostics can change long-term outcomes Practical daily habits that support longevity The surprising study that showed dogs fed less lived significantly longer How to evaluate whether you have the right veterinarian for your dog Dr. Kevin also shares his thoughts on vaccines, supplements, raw vs. processed diets, longevity drugs like rapamycin, and where the future of pet longevity medicine is heading. If you’ve ever thought, “I would do anything to have more healthy years with my dog,” this episode is for you. Because extending your dog’s life isn’t just about adding years — it’s about adding quality to those years. About Dr. Kevin Toman: Dr. Kevin Toman brings nearly four decades of veterinary experience to pet parents who want their dogs to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. A 1986 graduate of UC Davis, his career evolved from traditional practice into a deep focus on senior pets, cancer care, orthopedics, and quality of life. Personal health challenges sparked his interest in functional health, natural supplements, and longevity science — eventually leading him to explore emerging therapies like rapamycin. Today, through Helping Pets Live Longer (HPLL), Dr. Kevin blends veterinary medicine, integrative care, and cutting-edge longevity science to support pets no matter where their families live. Based on California’s central coast, he shares life with his partner Angela and their golden retriever, Anabelle — and remains passionate about helping pets thrive for as long as possible.

    Root Cause Healing & Holistic Veterinary Care with Dr. Marlene Siegel | S9E03

    In this episode of the Canine Culture Podcast, Brittany sits down with integrative veterinarian Dr. Marlene Siegel to explore root cause healing, bio-regulatory medicine, and what holistic care truly means for our pets. With over 40 years in veterinary medicine, Dr. Siegel shares the powerful story that changed the course of her career — a life-altering accident involving her daughter and their show horse that led her down the path of chiropractic care, acupuncture, nutrition, and integrative medicine. Together, Brittany and Dr. Siegel discuss: • Why “there’s nothing more we can do” shouldn’t always be the final answer • The difference between symptom suppression and root cause healing • What integrative and holistic veterinary care actually means • Deficiencies, toxicities, and mitochondrial dysfunction • Microplastics, environmental toxins, and hidden household exposures • Ozone therapy, photodynamic therapy, and detoxification protocols • Why nutrition is foundational — and where modern pet food falls short • How pet parents can begin making changes without overwhelm Dr. Siegel explains how disease is often a sign of imbalance rather than an external invader — and how restoring terrain, supporting detox pathways, and returning to nature’s blueprint can dramatically shift outcomes. If you’ve ever questioned conventional answers… If you’ve felt there had to be more options… If you want to understand how to support your dog beyond symptom management… This episode will challenge the way you think about veterinary medicine. About Dr. Marlene Siegel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I have over 40 years of experience in the field of veterinary medicine and more than two decades dedicated to pioneering holistic approaches.  My journey into integrative care began 25 years ago following a life-changing event – a riding accident involving my daughter and our horse, Lilly.  Follow Dr. Marlene Siegel: ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Follow On Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Follow On Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Follow On YouTube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Follow On LinkedIn⁠ Give the episode a listen on your favorite podcast platform and let us know what you think!Now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts.
