What if letting your dog follow their nose was more than just enrichment—but a path to healing the Earth and ourselves?In this heart-expanding episode, I’m joined by Laura Holder, Owner of Conservation Dogs Collective, whose work with scent-detection dogs is not only protecting endangered species and ecosystems but also inviting us to reconnect with nature in powerful ways.We explore the incredible ways dogs are being trained to track native wildlife, detect invasive species, and support conservation efforts across the country. But we also dive deeper—into what it means to let our dogs truly be dogs, how sniffing is their way of engaging with the world, and how tuning into their natural instincts can help us remember our own.This conversation is a call to slow down, honour the wisdom of the natural world, and step more fully into our role as stewards of the planet—paw in hand.Before we get started, I wanted to let you know that this episode is sponsored by FETCH. This conversation builds upon the FETCH First Friday episode that Stacey Renphrey of Hozho Hounds and I did on how to take a different approach to parasite prevention in order to protect our dogs and the environment. 🌿 Want to support your dog’s health with a more holistic approach?If you’re curious about how to evaluate your own dog’s parasite risk and prevent parasites naturally—without harsh chemicals—you’ll love our FETCH Parasites & Our Dogs: A Paradigm Shift ebook.

In this week’s episode, I chat with Bean Bindloss, a perimenopause doula who supports women with her unique combination of nutritional therapy, integrative hypnosis and spiritual magic. Bean works with women who value a body-heart-mind-soul approach and who don’t want to sleep through this major midlife transition. This stage of a woman’s life has been widely misunderstood to be a miserable ending, when in fact it is a new beginning, and I absolutely agree with her when she says it’s time to revolutionise the narrative around perimenopause. And that’s just what we do in today’s episode.Bean and I talk about: What a perimenopause doula actually is, and why you might need oneWhy perimenopause is actually a spiritual awakeningSome of the symptoms of perimenopause you might not think of, like struggling to do #allthethings when that was so easy for you beforeHealing the witch wound (you know I love this topic!)And how we just may be in a collective, cultural perimenopause!Bean also shares some practical nutrition and lifestyle tips to help you navigate the physical and emotional changes that come with perimenopause.To connect with Bean:https://www.instagram.com/thenutritionalbean/https://www.thenutritionalbean.com/bean@thenutritionalbean.com  Bean is also running a 6-week course sharing the essentials you need to thrive in perimenopause, with simple, grounded and practical guidance that you can trust. She is very kindly offering anyone who joins the course a complementary 60 minute 1:1 session Just use the Code: MYSTICDOG when you book!

In this FETCH First Friday episode, Stacey Renphrey of Hozho Hounds, and I talk about Lucky’s and my journey moving back to the UK from Mexico! But, specifically, we’ll talk about how the FETCH framework helped me prepare Lucky, and handle some little health blips that showed up once we arrived. If you’re new here and wondering what FETCH is, FETCH stands for Fresh food, Energetics, Targeted approaches, Curiosity, and Holistic health. These are what Stacey and I see as the pillars to our dogs’ health, and it’s the same framework we use in our canine nutrition consultations to help our clients support their dogs to experience optimal health. Today, you’ll learn how I used Lucky’s energetic pawprint to target supplements to support him before travel and to handle an upset tummy. You’ll also hear how an understanding of the Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine body clock, and meridian pathways, clued me into what Lucky’s itching and zoomie hour were showing me, and how I was able to support him. And, I’ll share about what I found most helpful in navigating the stress of international travel with a dog - we are talking planes, trains, automobiles, and chuck in an overnight ferry, to boot!If you enjoy this way of approaching your dog’s health journey, come join our free Facebook group, FETCH First Light, and be surrounded by a community of likeminded folks who want to integrate evidence-based nutrition with spiritual wisdom in order to create optimal health for their dogs - and themselves!FETCH First Light Facebook Grouphttps://facebook.com/groups/fetchfirstlightNot sure what your dog’s energetic pawprint is?

First Friday all about parasites!https://youtu.be/69Q02shCEwE

For this month’s F.E.T.C.H. First Friday episode, Stacey and I are talking all things parasites.We are heading into Spring here in the northern hemisphere, and that means fleas, ticks, worms, and mosquitoes are on every pet parent’s mind. It also means that environmentalists grow increasingly concerned about the catastrophic environmental effects of the conventional pesticides used in the common parasite preventatives we pet parents are told to use. But, what is a pet parent to do when all you want to do is keep your dog safe and healthy?Well, this is a conversation about parasites you’ve probably never had before, but it’s one that we NEED to have. We are in a collective paradigm shift. Whether you look at it astrologically, from Human Design, or you’re just witnessing what is playing out in the 3D world around you, it’s safe to say, things are changing. And we are being invited to explore what no longer works, and invite in a new way of being.That includes how we approach parasites, and how we approach our dogs’ healthcare.This conversation is for you if: You feel sick to your stomach every time you give your dog their monthly wormer or flea and tick spot-on, but you don’t know what other options you have You feel you have tried the natural approach to parasite prevention, and it hasn’t worked for you You are devastated by the environmental impacts of pharmaceutical toxins, but you love your dog and don’t want them to get sick You are ready for a conversation that turns the whole parasite debate completely on its head. I’m talking, approaching disease as dis-ease, taking an ecosystems approach to preventing illness, and - wait for it - approaching parasites with love. I told you you’ve never heard a conversation like this, but stick with us, because it will radically shift your whole approach to this hot topic.Stacey and I walk you through out approach to parasites through our FETCH framework as a way of helping you make the best decisions for you and your dog. You are going to love this. FETCH is an acronym that stands for Fresh Food, Energetics, Targeted Approaches, Curiosity, and Holistic Health. These are the 5 keys that we have identified to supporting your dog’s optimal health. And today, we are going to talk all things parasites and how the FETCH framework can help you decide the best way to support your dog.If you enjoy this way of approaching your dog’s health journey, join our FETCH community and be surrounded by likeminded folks who want to integrate evidence-based nutrition with spiritual wisdom in order to create optimal health for their dogs - and themselves!https://patreon.com/learnfetch/aboutHere’s a link to purchase our F.E.T.C.H.
